I have been looking for a Twitter replacement. Mastodon looks like an interesting platform. I just have a few questions. If I’m on a server and I post something and someone (who is from other server) comments on my post does rules of server where I am apply to that comment? Is it easy to change servers if I will have to? Also which server would be a good option for me? I’m from Finland and I know we have a local server but their rules say I can only post in Finnish. I would want to use Finnish and English. I will probably post mostly in Finnish but sometimes also in English. Also I want a server which is fast. I want strict rules and moderation especially in LGBTQ+ topics. I left Twitter because I’m a trans woman and I don’t want to use a platform where any form of transphobia etc. is allowed. I often feel like even Facebook etc. moderates transphobia poorly so I want a server which is very strict on that. So allowing racism, sexism or transphobia is a big no no. It would be good if there would be moderators who are also trans so they will know what is offensive (many cis people doesn’t recongize less visible/direct transphobia).

I may post something political but politically I’m mixed (I have very very liberal opinions on LGBTQ+ and animal rights, economically moderate left but at the same time I’m not that “green” (I think we should support green solutions but I don’t support banning less green options/technology.). Pretty much let everyone be free to live how they want as long as they don’t hurt others). So politics has to be allowed but not discrimination.

I will follow many topics and people. I will want to see news and politics but also memes and hobbies (trans and pc/linux memes but also other techonology/pc/linux posts). So what I want to see is really mixed. I know I can follow people from other servers.

Also a cool but easily rememberable server name is a big plus.
