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 🙏

Cllr Paul Oldham 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿<p>Ah, the usual dodgy bar chart from the Lib Dems on their latest leaflet.</p><p>• The SNP's 21 is has been shortened, we have 61% more members than them based on their figures, not about 20%</p><p>• The second biggest "party" on <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/HighlandCouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HighlandCouncil</span></a> isn't them but the Highland Independents - indie candidates remain a strong feature of our elections. Certainly stronger than LibDem, or Tories come to that.</p><p>• In total there are now 26 indies of various flavours, about twice as many as LibDems.</p>
