"Fangirling" gets a bad rap. It's way too gendered and limiting for my taste. Everyone gets excited about their favorite things, but "fangirling" ties our excitement to the false narrative of women as overly emotional and silly.

What if we could choose another verb? What would broader experiences could it exude? How would that shift our perception of fandom? What new word do you think we should use?

I want to write a few blog posts with tips & advice about using Mastodon to do . Some ideas:

- writing
- posting , edits, gifs (sfw & nsfw)
- finding friends
- running & events
- promoting your own fics, vids & fanworks
- sharing fanwork recs
- running hourly/daily/whatever accounts

What else would you like to do on a fandom-focused mastodon instance, or on blorbo.social specifically?
