The Mended Drum is a Mastodon-instance run by and for fans of Terry Pratchett (#gnuterrypratchett).
The Mended Drum is a Mastodon-instance that was started in November 2022 after it became clear that Twitter had become a nazi-infested shithole and wouldn't recover. Patrick set it up, and quickly a devoted group of fans followed. Iain and Ingvar are helping out on the admin side, together with visionary help Leo. The Moderator team consists of Jos, Thorsten and Darren.
Every fan or fan-to-be of the works of Terry Pratchett is welcome to apply for an account on the Mended Drum. Please take time to read the server rules. Anything not covered in there will be judged within the general spirit of PTerry's works. If you do not understand this, the Drum is probably not the place for you to hang out in.
Because you can't beat it. Oh, and because it refers back to alt.talk.mended-drum, which briefly existed next to alt.fan.pratchett in ye old Usenet-times.
Complaints about posts are handled by the Mod Team, and can be escalated to the Admins. Please use the regular Mastodon functionality for this. We prefer complaints from the U.S. to be handled by our U.S. agent. Please post a letter including a S.A.E. to:
