Dear Readers
2 and 1/4 years ago on 26th March 2023 i decided to go on a new journey that would not only change my life, but support my activism and mental health of myself and many others i have met on this Journey Worldwide.
I started out as a Activist for MAP Rights and dedicated a great time of my life (8+ hours each day the last 4+ years) to talking to Media Outlets, private People and Politicians, but it was not always easy to start off and get where i am now, I was always an Advocate for free speech (along as it does not violate the law or discriminates other people), but sadly Social Media Platforms did not see it the same Way, i was constantly being Kicked of Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Twitch, just simply based on my Sexuality, so i joined Mastodon on different Servers then, but was met with the same hate and bans as everywhere else, so i decided to get on a Journey and start my own Mastodon instance.
Mapsupport.de
At first, it was planned as a Solo instance for myself, but after careful consideration and seeing other People having no Home, i decided there are a lot of other People out there who do not have a Home to talk about their Sexual Interests, be it Queer People, Trans*identities, Paraphilias or other cool people, so i began redeveloping my Server with a somewhat strict Ruleset, and then open the Instance Publicly.
A few Days ago, i had marked the 270th Active User (it varies a few +- based on user activity), the Instance is a Home for every kind of Queer or Weird person (as long as they adapt to the ruleset), and we have adopted just every kind of Person you can think of or Name, Maps, Yaps, AAMs, Zoos, Necros, Transgender, Transage, Transabled, Trace or just the normie Gay + Map Supporter everyone is welcome (as long as they do not fit in the ban list which for example includes alt-right, nazis, acab or Antis).
Here are a few things you should know:
- no collection of IP addresses
- no Search function if not logged on
- no Public user list
- no visible Timeline if not logged in
- WAF + Cloudflare DDoS Protection
- 10.000 Character Limit (increased from 500)
- Active Moderation
- (all these things for the protection and security of our users)
If you feel like you need a Home to talk about yourself, your Sexuality or other Interests with other People, but do not find a Home on other Social Media platforms, you are Welcome to Sign up, but PLEASE do watch the Ruleset here https://mapsupport.de/about they are just 11 rules, to prevent things like Queerphobia, Antisemitism, Ableism, Brigading/Dogpiling, Sexual Crimes, talking about crimes, Cybergrooming and similar things, these are enforced strictly for the Security of our users and the Instance.

Have a Safe Day
