This is a mastodon instance that allows users to share ideas and participate in discussions. Whitespashe is named after the Admins' first joint coding project, which replaced spaces within a Word document with non-printable characters. This would preserve readability, but would fool plagiarism detection sites such as Turnitin. This site was named after this project, as it represents a desire to create whilst simultaneously sticking it to the Man (or in this case, the hellscape that is Twitter).
