			===Desktop===
			There are some programs that let you load multiple different web apps in different tabs, like mini web browsers you can dedicate to specific tasks, and they keep tabs isolated from each other, so you can use multiple Masto accounts easily. I find them useful for putting all my chat stuff in. — [[User:Rjt\|rjt]] ([[User talk:Rjt\|talk]])

			===Blocked Servers===

			The list of servers we block is not made public to avoid me having to seal with boring emails from boring bigots asking why they're blocked. If you are signed in to your account you can see the list on the [https://gamemaking.social/about About page]. Note 'Suspended' means blocked, and 'Limited' means you can follow and interact, but they are hidden from public timelines.

			Common, non-obvious, reasons:

			* 'Soapbox'. Any server running this software is blocked. It's created by a transphobe, and generally used by transphobes.
			* 'BirdsiteLIVE'. Software run by a bunch of servers that mirrors Twitter accounts without permission.
