   Time to announce this plan: I am working on a redesign of the joinmastodon.org server picker. I am also planning to switch out the data source from instances.social to my own API. The main reason for this is the addition of a new guarantee that I would be able to give when linking to servers from joinmastodon.org: That those servers would meet certain standards and enforce some basic rules of conduct.

   Below is a screenshot with old, uncurated data as placeholder.

     I will be taking submissions over e-mail at first (I do not expect a lot to come quickly).

     If you are a server owner, and you have:

     1) A server policy against racism, sexism and transphobia

     2) Daily database backups

     3) At least one other person with emergency access to server infrastructure

     4) Commit to giving users at least 3 months advance warning before closing down your server

     E-mail hello@joinmastodon.org with the subject "Server submission". I'll try to figure out the blurb/category
