Serious question; have I been invisible or unable to be replied to since I moved my instance to the new server???


Is that why literally basically no one has been interacting with me for a couple weeks?

so some notes,
FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE has well... released

otherkin.club, has.foxiepa.ws, delphox,entropynet.net and sylveon.entropynet.net all run on the /latest/ production release of FreeBSD.

Right now umbreon is starting the update process, then builds for the new ABI for pkg.foxiepa.ws will be pushed and all of the systems will be upgraded.

I'll keep everyone in touch with the process as it goes.

reminder: mastodon is not the only software running in the fediverse, thats why its called the fediverse and not the mastoverse.

mastodon wasn't even the first fediverse software to exist, nor is it the only living project right now.

Be kind to your fellow people on fedi, and don't diminish the effort of us all, working to make it so federated social is a thing that we all can have.

@amydentata

if you know of any instances other than FSE that are allowing gabfugees, I'd love to hear about them. talking about the actual issues is the first step toward resolving them.

most of the Pleroma community already filters FSE due to the gabfugee problem, which is in part why they have jumped to the japanese-speaking instances -- easier to evade mods.

#fedicompo ideas:

prompt gets posted every monday, with a deadline for that saturday.

#music #musicprod #compos

Comments?

Idea:

run small little compos with themes every week that are directly done here on the fediverse. My thought is more a friendly environment instead of a competitive one. No voting for whos is best, just we all put our best work in and all get to see what each other can do...

any interest?

#music #musicprod #compos

so i was feeling like shit and decided to give myself a little "prompt" for a short peice.

make something that sounded like it could appear in a movie or a trailer of a movie. I ended up coming up with this and i'm surprised how on that idea it is.

bringing up these mastodon instances is important.

Open source software, especially those using the [A]GPL, does not give you the ability to stop people using your software. You cannot stop people using your software based on your moral code using it. all you can do is discourage them using other methodology.

There is nothing to stop them from forking you, there is nothing to stop them from using your software, there is literally /nothing/ you can do.

hey everyone,

especially those of you who've only used mastodon and twitter.

I want to remind you that other software, such as pleroma, is not bad to use. It shows no moral leaning or anything. It's up to the admin of the instance, their rules, and their moderators.

If all you see from pleroma is places like Gab, You seem to have missed all the mastodon instances dedicated to "free speech" and the mastodon instances that let literal nazis sit on their instance because they "hadn't done anything wrong"

Please stop spreading FUD about how Pleroma admins and instances are all free speech assholes, when its literally untrue.

so uh, yeah i am fennec.

i am very much fennec.

it worries me sometimes the concept that maybe people don't know i'm fennec ... and that makes me feel all kinds of dysphoria...

I'm Rachel, a very silly fae fennec fox, very purple too.

I'm otherkin, autistic, and a survivor. I'm also the admin of otherkin.club and has.foxiepa.ws and a netadmin on EntropyNet.

You have probably me around on the fediverse before, you might even follow me, but this account is going to be for my spirituality and other otherkin ponderances.

My system-mates may also use this account, and if they do they will sign the end of the message to try to make it obvious who's talking.

#introductions

And we're live!

okay

https://relay.otherkin.club/ is up as well now.

i'm going to flop into bed now and start working on the more, social/squishy stuff now the tech stuff is mostly figured out

I've still got a bunch of stuff to do, such as writing a ToS and community info stuff, blocking a few instances, doing some frontend edits, etc.

right now, people who sign up, please use common sense... Please don't make me have to remove you.
