This instance is dead and there is no reason to expect it to come back. The information on this instance however has been archived for historical purposes.

The following information is outdated and written as if it was still active (sometime in early 2018).

  • This is Mastodon with the serial numbers filed off (they removed nearly all mention of it being a Mastodon fork, breaking Mastodon's AGPL3 license).
  • They have added Google Analytics trackers (which track it's users activity not the content that is posted or is federated to it)
  • It has an ICO slapped on.
  • Their CoC just states 'Please do not post offensive or inappropriate content'. Really not adequate.
  • They plan on selling ad space on their instance, potentially polluting the fediverse with corporate advertising.

Advertising, tracking, ICO, corporate BS or just all-round sleaziness, take your pick of what things you want to block it for. It really sucks.
