About This Search Engine
This search engine for Mastodon instances is based on a database that gets updated by our crawler every night (CET).
Instances are considered new for 30 days after they are discovered (if you already have an account on the Fediverse and want to receive one daily post with a summary of the new Mastodon instances that our crawler discovers daily, you can follow @nmiab@kolektiva.social; alternatively, you can also view them here).
When an instance has not responded to our daily checks for more than 30 days it is no longer considered in statistics and searches and it gets checked only on the first of the month, rather than daily, until it possibly responds again, or until its last succesful check is one year old; in this latter case, from that moment it gets checked only on the first day of each year.
“Random ordering” of results varies daily.
Default search criteria reflect our fondness for a decentralized and egalitarian Fediverse and our attempt to exclude instances accepting fascist, racist, sexist, ableist, sovereignist, pro-nuclear and pedopornographic contents by marking them as noxious.
To report any issue, of any kind, involving mastodon.help, or to suggest instances to exclude according to the above criteria, please contact us at our e-mail address, arbuk+masthelp[at]disroot.org.
Important Notes for Instance Administrators
If you don’t want your instance to show up here, please e-mail us at arbuk+masthelp[at]disroot.org.
If your instance is behind a web firewall such as Anubis or Cloudflare, and you want it to be listed here, you must configure the firewall to allow our bot, which makes no more than a dozen HTTP requests per day, to connect to your instance, by whitelisting it by User-Agent and/or IP address. Our bot’s User-Agent is mastodon.help; the IP address from which it makes requests is the same as this site’s, 65.108.133.80.

All moustache. All the time.
I run toot.kiwi, which is Mastodon for anyone that has a connection to Te Whanganui-a-Tara / Pōneke / Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand.
Professionally I'm an SEO expert, and personally a ravenous information devourer.
My edits are basically all typos.

Federation philosophy
We defederate from instances that engage in harassment or encourage hate speech.
Handling harassment
If you are being harassed, please report the user using the "…" button and then "Report." For urgent concerns, please DM a moderator.
If you engage in harassing behavior, the moderator may take any action they deem appropriate, such as a warning or an expulsion.
The above rules may change at any time, and you may be banned at any time based on the moderators' judgment.
File Limits
Photos have a maximum file size of 10MB and videos have a maximum file size of 40MB.
Data Location
Ottawa.place user data is stored within Canada, in a server in OVH's Montreal datacentre, along with Amazon Web Services' (AWS) Canada region. Media uploads are stored on AWS's global CDN. Encrypted daily database backups are stored in AWS S3. This may change from time to time but we will do our best to 1) keep things in Canada as much as possible and 2) keep users posted if we need to make big changes to how we store things.
Instance Continuity
If we ever decide to cease running this instance, in accordance with the Mastodon Server Covenant, we commit to a 3-month advance notice before turning off any infrastructure, to allow users to export their content and migrate to a new server.

Short description
Pseudonymous social media for the people
Long description
Our Documentation Site has more details. Here is the one page summary.
Goals
Our goal is to provide a forum for discussion and first hand experiences of people for whom anonymity is crucial to safety.
Strong anonymity
Domum Social provides an anonymous platform where you can speak your truth without fear. Users can only signup or login through the Tor anonymity network so we can never see where you are coming from. We do not collect email addresses at sign up.
Signups are now open you can follow our Quick Start guide to get started.
Broad reach
The Mastodon social network and the fediverse more broadly can still interact with posts through the "normal" non-Tor internet with no special requirements
Informed users
Securing anonymity on the server side is (relatively) easy. Maintaining anonymity while posting can be a challenge.
We're developing a Learning site with helpful guidance on the dos and don'ts of online anonymity and related topics.
Funding
We are self funded through the beginning of Arpil 2026 and are seeking crowd funding for continued operations beyond that:
see our Funding Page for more detail including our crypto addresses.
Moderation
This is not a free speech absolutist site.
In order to maintain our reach across the independently operated systems that make up the Mastodon network we must maintain high standards in our discourse.
Moderation will be swift (and presumably challenging!), please read the server rules below.

Long description
Privacy
All social media platforms require some data storage, and Mastodon is no exception. However, with more people switching to Mastodon from Twitter, it's important to note some of the privacy concerns. The main concern is that private messages are stored. This is necessary to enable conversations, but it's important to recognize that the operators of the server, as well as any receiving server, may be able to view such messages. Additionally, recipients may screenshot, copy or otherwise share them.
As Mastodon's privacy policy indicates, there are some instances where privacy may be compromised. Some media outlets have used this as an argument against Mastodon, but the level of privacy depends on the instance you use. At billys.mom, we take privacy seriously and only read personal messages if they are reported by a user or if law enforcement issues a reasonable notice.
Can I trust billys.mom?
As with any Mastodon instance, we cannot guarantee 100% privacy. You should always be cautious about what you share on any website. However, we are committed to privacy and will not engage in voluntary surveillance programs. Moreover, governments cannot legally force services to implement blanket spying programs.
If you want to ensure a higher level of privacy, use PGP.
Status
To view the status of billys.mom, please visit status.billys.mom.
Staff
Our moderators and administrators are volunteers who dedicate their spare time to managing the platform and enforcing the rules when necessary. If you would like to support a specific staff member, please reach out to them directly.
Donations
While billys.mom is and will always be free, hosting the platform comes with costs. As such, any donations are greatly appreciated. Even a small amount can make a difference. To donate, please visit me on Liberapay.

Instance rules
- Hate speech and discrimination, such as, but not limited to, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia and abelism and content illegal in Europe is not allowed in any form.
- Content warnings (CWs) are often either required or highly encouraged to keep our server safe and friendly for as many people as possible. CW-ing nudity, lewdness, politics, gore and spam-like posts are all mandatory. Failure to comply will result in account limiting.
- Bios (account biographies) should be kept "safe for work". Highly distracting, lewd or otherwise obscene avatar or header images are not allowed.
- Malicious or misleading information (such as, but not limited to, anti-science, fake news and hate brigading) are bannable offences. This also includes the encouragement and normalising of said information. Such content can, for example, include anti-vaccine and alternative medicine.
- Extreme political content, such as Nazism, authoritarianism, "tankieism", and extreme nationalism is a bannable offence. An exception to this are news stories and meta around these topics.
- Incitement of violence, regardless of the situation, is generally not allowed and appropriate content warnings is required as a minimum! We also realise that there is a difference between punching up vs. down, and that violence is sometimes unavoidable, such as protests.
- Advertising is discouraged and is allowed at the discretion of moderators. Commissions related to the arts, charitable causes (that are demonstrably not for-profit) and personal donation requests are exempt. A general rule is that if you think that it would be annoying, put it behind a CW.
- We do not allow any bots or automated services including crossposters from other social media sites. You can have a look at sites like "botsin.space" for that kind of stuff.
- Doxing and non-consensual breaches of privacy is not allowed and breaking this rule will most likely result in a ban.
- Posting uncaptioned media with public visibility is not allowed and will get your account limited, usually if repeated behaviour is observed. Twootsite is supposed to be an inclusive and accessible place. Only local posts are affected by this rule, not remote posts or boosts.

Long description
The Church of Cathode
Cathode Church is a Mastodon instance on the Fediverse for trans and gender-diverse makers, coders and tinkerers.
It is intended to be a supportive, friendly, and creative online space.
Tenets
Courtesy
Harassment, vitriol, exploitation and abuse are not tolerated. This includes racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and other expressions of power across structural power/privilege differentials.
Respect and venerate the great constellation of human experience and self-expression, across gender, sexuality, neurology, psychology, body, ability, race, identity, culture, spirituality, et cetera.
Content warnings should be used in accordance with evolving community standards and the needs of fellow users.
Accounts posting content not suitable for minors such as pornography or explicit sexual content should be locked (require approval to follow) and clearly marked as 18+ only in the display name or bio. The account-holder must reject follow requests from users who do not make clear that they are over 18. All posts containing explicit material must also be content-warned as such and have media hidden.
Bot accounts are allowed, but must not interact with other users without their consent.
Copyrighted content should not be posted without permission, and always with credit, ideally hyperlinking to the author's online presence.
Solidarity
Cathode Church users are expected to educate themselves and support their fellows with different lived experiences, cultures, beliefs, and intersections of structural power. It is not the responsibility of those whose identity or experience you do not understand to explain themselves to those yet uninformed. Any education offered is a gift and should be respected as such.
No one person can champion all worthy causes, and bigotry cannot be fought on any single front alone. Respect the work of those who are dedicated to different parts of the fight. Respect the capacity of others.
Irradiate the Rich
As part of our Solidarity, always remember who the greater persecutor is, who is responsible for the ignorance of our peers, and oppression of our communities. Disagreements among us are important and natural but can obscure the greater perspective.
Intersectionality
Solidarity is meaningless without acknowledging and actively working against the multitudinous gradients of privilege/power any of us may hold over others. Consider your privileges and their ramifications when engaging with other users.
Privacy
Cathode Church users are not required or expected to disclose or externally verify any aspects of their identity or to administrators other than a functioning email for signup, excluding conditions agreed to during the sign-up process.
Creating or using alternate accounts to evade blocks, mutings, suspensions or silencings is not allowed by any users.
Advocacy
Instances with a history of permitting harassment, abusive behaviour, and spam by their users will be blocked, regardless of the wording of their policies.
Cathode Church administrators will stand behind users reporting harassment and personally follow up where necessary and wanted, maintaining the anonymity of our users where possible, including against other Cathode Church users.
Moderating disputes
Where a Cathode Church user is under investigation for violating the Tenets, they will be informed of such as soon as practical, and offered the right of defence through a moderator. No public announcements will be made until a final decision is settled, and only if the decision affects other parties (such as in the case of an outright ban of a serial harasser).
Both those accused and those reporting are requested to avoid non-conciliatory public interaction with each other, 'callouts', and the like, until moderating decisions have been made.
Ephemerality
The highest priority of Cathode Church is maintaining the safety of our users and this can contradict some assumptions of federating software regarding open access. The server is configured to reduce search indexing and unauthenticated viewing of the timeline or toots where selected. Known fulltext-indexers are blocked. Hosts detected attempting to scan/crawl media files will be blocked.
That said, it is not recommended to rely on the security of Mastodon/ActivityPub for private information.
Conclusion
To be considered for an account, you must confirm that you have read and understood these responsibilities and expectations, by mentioning the Tenets in the "Why do you want to join?" field. If you do not, your account will not be activated.
If you have any issues, email s0 at this domain.
Administrative details
Technical
Cathode Church is run off a VPS in Sydney, Australia, and uses OpenStack Object Storage also in Sydney for media storage. The site should be fully accessible via IPv6 and modern HTTPS/TLS.
Multiple Sessions
Inspired by vulpine.club's (RIP) setup, it is possible to maintain multiple separate sessions for separate accounts by using the subdomains 0.cathode.church, 1.cathode.church, 2.cathode.church, and 3.cathode.church.
Local-only Posting
Toots that end with 👁 or have "Local-only" enabled in the web interface are not federated from cathode.church to any other instance. They are only visible to Cathode Church users (following the toot visibility setting).
Donating
You can donate to the server's upkeep at s0's Ko-fi. It will be appreciated.

Copyrighted content should not be posted without permission, and always with credit, ideally hyperlinking to the author's online presence.
Solidarity
Cathode Church users are expected to educate themselves and support their fellows with different lived experiences, cultures, beliefs, and intersections of structural power. It is not the responsibility of those whose identity or experience you do not understand to explain themselves to those yet uninformed. Any education offered is a gift and should be respected as such.
No one person can champion all worthy causes, and bigotry cannot be fought on any single front alone. Respect the work of those who are dedicated to different parts of the fight. Respect the capacity of others.
Irradiate the Rich
As part of our Solidarity, always remember who the greater persecutor is, who is responsible for the ignorance of our peers, and oppression of our communities. Disagreements among us are important and natural but can obscure the greater perspective.
Intersectionality
Solidarity is meaningless without acknowledging and actively working against the multitudinous gradients of privilege/power any of us may hold over others. Consider your privileges and their ramifications when engaging with other users.
Privacy
Cathode Church users are not required or expected to disclose or externally verify any aspects of their identity or to administrators other than a functioning email for signup, excluding conditions agreed to during the sign-up process.
Creating or using alternate accounts to evade blocks, mutings, suspensions or silencings is not allowed by any users.
Advocacy
Instances with a history of permitting harassment, abusive behaviour, and spam by their users will be blocked, regardless of the wording of their policies.
Cathode Church administrators will stand behind users reporting harassment and personally follow up where necessary and wanted, maintaining the anonymity of our users where possible, including against other Cathode Church users.
Moderating disputes
Where a Cathode Church user is under investigation for violating the Tenets, they will be informed of such as soon as practical, and offered the right of defence through a moderator. No public announcements will be made until a final decision is settled, and only if the decision affects other parties (such as in the case of an outright ban of a serial harasser).
Both those accused and those reporting are requested to avoid non-conciliatory public interaction with each other, 'callouts', and the like, until moderating decisions have been made.
Ephemerality
The highest priority of Cathode Church is maintaining the safety of our users and this can contradict some assumptions of federating software regarding open access. The server is configured to reduce search indexing and unauthenticated viewing of the timeline or toots where selected. Known fulltext-indexers are blocked. Hosts detected attempting to scan/crawl media files will be blocked.
That said, it is not recommended to rely on the security of Mastodon/ActivityPub for private information.
Conclusion
To be considered for an account, you must confirm that you have read and understood these responsibilities and expectations, by mentioning the Tenets in the "Why do you want to join?" field. If you do not, your account will not be activated.
If you have any issues, email s0 at this domain.
Administrative details
Technical
Cathode Church is run off a VPS in Sydney, Australia, and uses OpenStack Object Storage also in Sydney for media storage. The site should be fully accessible via IPv6 and modern HTTPS/TLS.
Multiple Sessions
Inspired by vulpine.club's (RIP) setup, it is possible to maintain multiple separate sessions for separate accounts by using the subdomains 0.cathode.church, 1.cathode.church, 2.cathode.church, and 3.cathode.church.
Local-only Posting
Toots that end with 👁 or have "Local-only" enabled in the web interface are not federated from cathode.church to any other instance. They are only visible to Cathode Church users (following the toot visibility setting).
Donating
You can donate to the server's upkeep at s0's Ko-fi. It will be appreciated.
