Blahaj Zone matrix space for gender diverse folk (now with corrected links)

For those of you who don't know, the Blahaj Zone admin team runs a matrix space for gender diverse folk. Similar to lemmy, it's designed with a few "official" channels, but is otherwise a community curated space, with channels run by our members. You don't have to be a blahaj zone user to join.

If you're already a matrix user, you can head straight to our application room https://matrix.to/#/#gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone, or by searching for #gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone from within your matrix client.

If you're new to matrix, you can find some more details and an instruction video on how to get up and running here https://chat.blahaj.zone/c/genderverse/

the genderverse in the matrix? neo and trinity would be proud. :')
we can hereby rename all the trolls to anderson
- Please no😧🚨.
  That's my last name. I am no bridge troll, I am a dual sword warrior goddess.

The join button isn't working.
- It looks like the matrix.to redirector is having some issues. You can bypass it by just searching for #gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone within your client and joining that way

- Same (using element.io). I’m in several other matrix rooms, but it seems like the JS or form action on the join button is harfed.

  for the record, in fluffychat.im, i got an error but it still ultimately ended up joining when i closed out of the search window.

Thanks ada and kaity
Edit: commented on the wrong post. Oops.

I've just discovered matrix (and xmpp) and I gotta say im loving this corner of the internet more with each passing day

Verification system is very on the nose, in my opinion.
- It's necessary because we had a transphobic troll target us for a while, who would create throw away accounts, join the channel and post all sorts of horrible shit where everyone could see it.
  So we needed a system that means that accounts like that aren't exposed to our main community spaces until we're reasonably confident that they're legit.
  It's the same reason we use an application on this lemmy instance.
  
  Oh that's fair
