Statement on “Join Mastodon” joinmastodon.org is a website owned by known “freedom critical” activist Gargon (also known as “Diaper Dan” on a diaper fetishist mastodon). The domain name and SEO is clearly designed to appeal to individuals curious about the fediverse, and potentially take traffic from better instances. Unfortunately, Diaper Dan does not have the best intentions when it comes to helping the fediverse grow. Dan formerly contributed to other fediverse projects, before running off to news media and claiming himself king. This is a problematic individual, recommending problematic services.

Join Mastodon has an explicitly authoritarian-left agenda and seems to only promote instances which either a) run the “Mastodon” server software created by Diaper Dan himself, or b) promote globalist values intended to destroy society. As of right now the site actively recommends the following instances:

• meow.social (Blocked for pedophilia)
• pettingzoo.co (Blocked for grooming)
• eldritch.cafe (Blocked for brigading and harassment)
• mastodon.social (Blocked for CSAM/CP trafficking ring and no admins in sight)

In other words, Diaper Dan is using the site to promote his own agenda rather than simply gain more users into the fediverse. This is not a site that should be recommended to new users. I would recommend using https://fedilist.com/ instead!

Thank you!
