The Fediverse

Bringing sanity back to social media.

We care about a social web that no one company owns. That is why we run an open ActivityPub relay for the Fediverse.

ActivityPub relay

One of the largest stable relays on the Fediverse

A relay passes public posts between servers, so small servers see more of the network. Ours is open, and it is meant to connect people.

Relay your server any server

Our guidelines

  1. Talk to us

    Start a conversation with @derek@thedoodleproject.com if you have questions. The Doodle Project, LLC may refuse service to anyone, for any reason, including no reason at all.

  2. Our rules

    We remove any instance that causes a flood of hate speech, harassment, bullying, porn, Naziism, white power, illegal content (under United States law), doxing, fake accounts of companies or famous people, or fascism, if and when we find it.

  3. What we look for

    We screen instances as best we can, but it is an open relay. We look for server rules that match ours and a clear sign of who the admin is. We might say hello and ask if they would like to help support the relay with a tip. That is not required.

Join or support

To join the relay, fill in this form.

Please consider helping fund it. You can give $1 a month by card here, or $5 a month for super awesome supporter status here. You can also Venmo us at @thedoodleproject. All of it funds this project. It is not required, and we will not nag you.

Seeing things you do not like?

We cannot monitor everything, and we do not try. First, ask whether it is every account from that instance. If it is only a few users, block, mute or report them.

If it is every account, and it fits the rules above, send @derek@thedoodleproject.com a direct message with the domain name. We will look for the server rules and an admin, and talk about other options. The Doodle Project decides, at its sole discretion, whether to block the instance.

Part of a better internet
