General InformationAllThingsTech WikiAllThingsTech.social is a small Mastodon instance that anyone who is interested in all things tech related can call home. It's a safe place for anyone to talk about their passion for tech/technology, but also to post the things they wish to post and talk about on a daily basis.
We fully subscribe to and comply with the
Mastodon Server Covenant. A number of instance blocks are implemented to comply with the principles of the covenant.
When AllThingsTech.social first launches, and for the foreseeable future, sign-ups will be limited and all users will have to be approved my staff before gaining access to the instance. This is being done to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible, but to also ensure this instance remains a safe and friendly space for everyone.
