Brilliant idea #1244152143:

Famous depictions of scenes from the new testament but instead of jesus it's Totoro

You're welcome.

@neon I assume there are, but I tend to prefer projects where the developers/community actively adopt a stance of making them unwelcome. I'm definitely in the same situation of not being able to follow the japanese posts, but the platform's features seem quite nice. I guess I'll find out what moderation controls are in place if/when I set it up.

@Gargron What would you recommend for personal use?

@pea thanks, @dansup had pointed dolphin out to me a while back, but I forgot about it. It might be nice to let a few friends use my server for their accounts, but I'm not sure that hypothetical use-case justifies jumping through the hoops of setting up outgoing email. If dolphin works without it I'll probably go with that.

just to be clear, I get that the developers are Japanese, I'm just trying to make sure that's the main reason.

Part of my motivation is that I'd like to have control over my own federation policy so that I can use the federated timeline without having to scroll past white supremacist conspiracy theories, so good moderator controls are an important feature.

I'm thinking about setting up my own activityPub server for personal use and looking at misskey (https://github.com/syuilo/misskey) because I'm most comfortable with javascript.

The contributor list is full of anime girls and I'm vaguely aware that there's some correlation between that and white supremacy... They have a code of conduct, but the readme itself has pics of busty anime girls.

So, do any of my followers have experience with the community/codebase? Would you recommend it?

...and before it happens: don't @ me with your brilliant and original take on how police violence is "only an American problem". I assure you it is not.

If you're on the fediverse because you can't stand the injustices that inevitably spring from monopolies but you feel like the fight against police brutality isn't your problem then I suggest you take some time to consider why.

My twitter feed is 99% about the ongoing protests against police brutality, so it's really weird to look at the fediverse and see it look basically the same as it always does.

I get that a lot of people here left birdsite because of trauma or because doomscrolling is pretty depressing, but it's pretty freaky to know that while some folks are literally getting killed in the streets another community is talking about the same old tech problems.
