Graham Linehan‏ is an actor best-known across the pond for his sitcom Father Ted.

On Twitter he is @Glinner, and is something of a gender activist, championing people who have been banned from Twitter for discussion of trans issues or for being the “wrong kind” of trans person.

His new website is glindr.org, not to be confused with the gay dating site Grindr.



“So as to be not so dependent on this crap website moderated by women-hating incels, I am launching GLINDR!

“It’s my own personal web hole! Come! Sit! Eat! I have no idea what I’m going to do with it yet but when I do figure it out…hoo boy! Fireworks!”

Linehan promises “…you’ll be able to meet up with all the wonderful people who’ve been banned from Twitter, like Claire Graham and Miranda Yardley…”

Looking a little further at his rules, it looks to be a bit sweary, so you won’t be able to use it from work, also has rules for bots, so that should make the bots rights people happy.

It uses open source software. It is also part of “the fediverse” whatever that is. The Wikipedia article is somewhat obscure.

Also this is a bit mystifying:

The following servers are suspended from Glindr and are unable to be interacted with.

gab.com

freespeechextremist.com

xxxtumblr.org

twimblr.xyz

kink.town

sinblr.com

porn-k.com

kinky.business

humblr.social

Gab is of course where all the Nazis went when they were suspended from Twitter. Not sure about the others. Is ignorance bliss?
