I'll vote (e) :
IMO, mastodon.art makes sense sense as it 1/ relates to art and hosts similar projects such as Krita + quite a few artists, and 2/ actively stands for being a safe space - I tend to see the fact that they have rather strict policies and processes about who they federate with as a thing to support vs leaving /because of it./
@René : masto.hosts hosts mastodon.art, so in a sense we are already hosted by them ^^
