DFOS Space Directory

Hi NCE People! 🙋‍♂️

So wonderful to see so many people joining! As of this writing, 900 people from all around the world have joined nce.dfos, which has become the beachhead for tired and weary souls finding their ways to our dark forest 🌲🌲🌲 away from the overwhelm and noise of clearnet social media. Welcome! 👋

As our numbers swell, I thought it might just be useful to consolidate in a single post all the different dfos spaces that are beginning to emerge as subgroups specialize and speciate.  If you don't want your space listed here, please DM me and I'll remove it; apologies in advance!! 🙇🙇🙇 I just enjoy organizing things (organizing makes me happy 🤗) so I thought I'd share. And if you want to add a new dfos space, please just leave a comment below. 👇  For each space, where possible, I've linked to context so you can read more about the space first before you smash the join button.

See you in the forest! 🌳🌳🌳
