Short description
Just a mastodon for people who host at least 1 IKEA BLÅHAJ
Long description
Welcome to BLÅHAJ Social a Mastodon instance for BLÅHAJ and friends of BLÅHAJ.
What can you use?
We have a Mastodon server with full text search (on local posts) enabled, we offer LibreTranslate on posts in the web interface (data does not leave the network for this feature).
How do I support this server?
Currently we can handle all users with some spare capacity on private infrastructure and <$1 in object storage.
If you would like to contribute to our energy costs, hardware maintenance or those domain renewal fees you can do so at
Technical Transparency
We aim to be transparent in how we operate, while we are looking into how to do this properly without too much overhead a list of resources is below:
Environmental impact
Earth is the only home we have for our beloved sharks, we do our very best to take care of it! We host our servers in-house (except for CDN) with an energy provider that only invests our energy tokens in local green power (wind, solar, bio). Thanks to a new regulation we are currently investing in our own solar panels to power our server at daytime. Our hardware itself exists of pre-loved server hardware, expanding its lifetime and reducing e-waste (and honestly costs).
