zirk.us

Launched in November 2022, zirk.us provides a dedicated Mastodon server for individuals passionate about the arts and humanities. Born from the desire to recreate the intellectual exchange found on platforms like 'Book Twitter' and 'Philosophy Twitter', zirk.us offers a haven for readers, writers, artists, academics, and anyone interested in thoughtful discourse. The instance has quickly grown to encompass over 170 members, with 124 actively supporting the project through paid memberships, generating an estimated income between $152 and $3040. This demonstrates the community's strong commitment to maintaining and expanding this unique digital space for intellectual engagement. What sets zirk.us apart is its specific focus on cultivating a supportive environment for academic and creative exploration within the Mastodon ecosystem, offering a curated alternative to larger, less specialized servers.
