beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

New secret code: if you see someone irl you think might be on Mastodon, nonchalantly ask them if they know Nicole from Toronto.

@the_etrain Someone asked me this today, and I said, “I call her the Fediverse Chick.”

We’re like the new Freemasons.

@maxleibman @the_etrain

The comparison checks out.

Historical freemasons: political radicals
Fediverse: yep

Historical freemasons: discuss technical arcana as a social bonding activity
Fediverse: yep

Historical freemasons: proud of their famous authors (Rudyard Kipling)
Fediverse: proud of our famous authors (Charles Stross)

Historical freemasons: constantly bickering and schisming
Fediverse: hey that's a little unfair it's not constant okay

Historical freemasons: later became feared for their political power
Fediverse: we're working on that one

Historical freemasons: borderline cult
Fediverse: uh, we've got beige?
