Hello Assembled People of European Mastodon! I work at @eff on international copyright. You might have heard of #article13, the EU proposal to require © filters on sharing sites.
We're really worried that this could affect services like ActivePub/Mastodon instances, opening them up to lawsuits or requiring expensive filters.
The key vote is on Wednesday -- please call or write your MEP and ask them to vote against #article13 to protect the future of the internet! https://saveyourinternet.eu/
The Wandering Shop is a Mastodon instance initially geared for the science fiction and fantasy community but open to anyone. We want our 'local' timeline to have the feel of a coffee shop at a good convention: tables full of friendly conversation on a wide variety of topics. We welcome everyone who wants to participate, so long as you're willing to abide by our code of conduct.
We want this to be a fun, pleasant, and harassment-free experience for everyone. By joining the Wandering Shop, you're agreeing to abide by our code of conduct.
We run a patreon page to help cover server costs. Anything you can donate is appreciated!
