Digital Expats & No Kings - June 14, 2025
Are you looking to get away from US-based online products? Are you
concerned about your safety, especially when your online presence has
been under attack by the federal government? Consider joining many fed up
Americans in a digital expat. Feel safer when using browsers such as the
Norwegian based Vivaldi, emails such as the Swiss based Proton Mail for
end-to-end encryption (approved for use on Chatlands) and many more!
Here is a link for more
information
No Kings Protests are today, June 14th, 2025. Today demonstrations
are planned across the United States called the 'No Kings Protests'. We
are sending a message to everyone that the United States has three
co-equal branches of government and that Congress and Courts
cannot continue ignoring these attacks on our democracy. For those of us
living in the USA, I strongly encourage you to join in these
peaceful protests. It is very important that our representatives
understand that their primaries and mid-term elections are coming soon,
and that they will be held accountable for their actions or their lack of
action. Please show up for our country and please
stay safe.
🏳️⚧️ TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS 🏳️⚧️
With the recent political climate across the United States and many other
countries, many marginalized communities are facing unprecedented amounts
of harm due to people emboldened by current times. The trans community in
particular has been under attack this year, and we've sadly seen an
increase in that kind of rhetoric on Chatlands as well. This announcement
is to clarify that Chatlands is a safe space for trans people, and that
bigoted commentary is harassment and won't be tolerated.
CATS PAW ISLAND HAS REOPENED!

Wolfhome Support & Upkeep Notice
Dear Wolfhome Community,
The Wolfhome Staff wanted to update everyone in regard to our future plans
for Wolfhome! As of December 10th, 2023 Wolfhome will be temporarily
placed into invite-only and reopen on January 1st 2024.
This will temporarily allow our staff to be able to work diligently on our
current projects and goals to complete and implement for our community. We
want to advise you that your current subscription, if you have one, on
Wolfhome will freeze and there will be no deltas withdrawn from your
account while we are on invite-only. However, if you notice any deltas
being withdrawn or if have any questions or concerns please reach out to a
Wolfhome Staff Member. As for our forums and WH Community Discord, both of
these will remain open and available for use.
While we are invite-only we will not be accepting invite requests to
access the chat. This time is solely for admins to access the chat and
implement updates and changes.
We, the team, want to thank each and every one of you! We are so excited
to have these projects implemented for you all and cannot wait for
everyone to see the changes!
If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please reach out to
a Wolfhome Staff Member!
Happy Holidays and we will see you all very soon!
Sincerely,

seven days (until November 1st). So, have a fun and
thanks for
being a part of Chatlands!

UPDATES TO TERMS OF USE AND ADMIN CONDUCT
I have updated the Chatlands
Terms of Use and
Admin Conduct. If you are a regular Chatlands user,
please be sure to review the new version of the
terms of use. If you are also a Chatlands
administrator, please be sure to read the
admin conduct document as well. There are several
changes, some of it wording and some of it clarification of existing
rules. One addition I made was including a version of the
problem
solving strategies that we have had over on the Wolfhome rules for
quite awhile now.
Thanks,
===underdog===
