1. What is this all about?
This is a server for primarily 18+ ADULT STRIDERCEST SHIPPERS and those who are generally pro-fiction / anti-harassment who just want a place to cool off and not have to worry about backlash or ridicule.
We accept all kinds here - you don’t *have* to be a Stridercest shipper, or even into the Homestuck fandom, but it will definitely make your stay more enjoyable!
We are a radically-inclusive server. All identities are allowed and we are system-friendly with both Tupperbot and Pluralkit in our bot lineup as well as kin friendly. We utilize a ticket tool to handle issues with server members and are committed to this place being a safe and fun bastion of fandom.
Starting off as a small mutuals server, the demand for this space has grown ASTRONOMICALLY in the past few months - we only started in February and within the first three months reached over 100 members! We’re a new but stable and growing community, active everyday.
Fully running roleplay sister server that you can gain access to after joining - around 60 members at the moment there for roleplay!
Fun discord bots! Mudae, Pokemon bot, rpg, tatsumaki, etc.
Tupperbox is set up additionally for your roleplay needs.
Kink positive and kink friendly.
We strongly utilize YKINMK.“Dead Dove* content channels for your darker desires.
Interest / kin friendly. We don’t care about what media you like.
We don’t tolerate hate of any kind.
Promotion of small artists / writers / creatives.
Very heavily guarded / protected for your safety.
Privacy & anonymity is encouraged especially if you aren’t openly pro-fiction or pro-ship. We will do everything to conceal your identities online.
Tight-knit community of mostly LGBT trauma survivors.
Community currently has over 150+ members!
3. Sounds good, how do I join?
APPLICATION FORM LINK TO JOIN IS HERE: https://forms.gle/VEjiDoBJofLMr2Cx9
Please note that as of making this post 3/9/21, the application form is currently closed as we’re currently updating our community guidelines and rules as well as taking on member feedback to improve our community and services. You may, however, be interested in signing up for the mailing list where you will be alerted once we’re open again.
The mailing list can be found here on our carrd: https://swordbrosserver.carrd.co/
We also have a Twitter: https://twitter.com/SwordbrosServer
It is my server / I own it and @lpsunnybunny is my second in command / senior admin!
5. I’m not a fan of [x ship] or have y as a trigger, can I still join?
Absolutely! Quite a few people are in the same boat.
While we do not blacklist ships to any degree since that would defeat the point of why the server was created, you can 100% choose to opt out of “dead dove” channels and nsfw if that squicks you. We require members to in other channels outside of the dead dove ones (which are very much a “wild area”) to tw and censor anything triggering.
We do not content police dead dove in terms of what gets posted there as this would defeat the purpose of what dead dove means / is so long as it falls within Discord’s TOS [no lolisho imagery]. It is up to you to curate your experience and avoid things that will deliberately trigger or upset you when it comes to dead dove content and either switch channels or mute them / opt out.
6. I’m scared to join as I don’t want my identity leaked / feel frightened if someone was to find out / afraid to reach out as I’ve been hanging mostly around people who are against stridercest and problematic ships, what can I do?
Nothing is 100% secure and we cannot make promises we cannot keep BUT we do have a very strict / stringent application process to keep out those who want to cause harm and harassment. With the huge influx of rather popular artists joining us, this has only tightened up over time and is likely to continue that way.
There is the basic application process that must be filled out prior which is then heavily scrutinized by our entire team of OVER TEN mods. We require every applicant to have an active social media account of over three months tops that cannot be empty to even be considered entry.
We will comb through public posts to ensure no exclusionist, transphobic, homophobic, anti-ship or otherwise hateful content present. Upon entry, all members already “in” the server will also be hidden from sight from newbies and will have to undergo a second approval to ensure they are who they are who they say they are - on top of this, links sent out to join are one-time use only and a password will be given to enter.
I hate to make false promises but you can rest assured we deeply care about the safety of our community and members and are doing absolutely everything to prevent unwanted attention and unsavoury individuals.
I’ve put my blood, sweat and tears into running this community and every single member means the world to me. We hope if you’re interested you do join us soon - but your comfort comes first.
FEEL FREE TO REBLOG THIS POST AND CIRCULATE, WE’RE AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY AND ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW FRIENDS TO MAKE <3
