buh, i'm going to have to get noise-blocking earbuds/headphones for working here, i think :(

PSA: If you are in the web view of a remote instance of some user or toot, you cannot directly reply/boost/fav.

But you can copypaste the URL into your local Mastodon server's "Search" field, then it allows you to interact!

Wasn't obvious to me, so maybe boost this if it helped you. :)

having trouble getting going this morning 😴

does awoo.space federate with icosa now? i'm seeing awoo posts in the federated timeline on icosahedron.website. or maybe i (still) don't quite understand how federation works (which is true regardless) :sweat_smile:

i got to pet a puppy at the office today ^_^

@ok yeah it's a big issue imho. default mastodon install just encourages signup without reading

one small thing icosahedron.website does is making the default landing page the 'about' page instead, which talks about that specific instance, with link to its 'rules' page upfront, rather than buried

@lilybunny yeah thank goodness the esc key will dismiss the large image at least haha. that's easy to hit fast

❕ Hey, new folks, noiob here, I am (currently the only) mod here on awoo (we're pretty smol). There's been concern about influx due to the stuff. I'd like to remind you that we are not "yet another instance" but an experiment to provide a safer space than the mastoverse currently is.

That includes us having a stricter federation policy: You will only see posts from whitelisted instances here (currently only mastodon.social iirc).

one mistake i keep making: i click on a 'sensitive content' image, realize it really is too sensitive to show at the office, so in order to undo it, i reflexively click it again, which actually blows it up to full size 🤣

maybe i should make a habit of clicking the 'eye' icon to reveal rather than the image itself, heh

Hey there new awoo.space friends. We have a nice peaceful instance here, and in order to keep in that way, please bear this in mind:

While queer furries are the 'old guard' of mastodon.social... here we run the joint. You are in our house, and we expect safety and calm to be the order of the day here. If you want something more lively or tech-y, find another instance.

Still wanna stay? If you behave and respect us, you're welcome.

awoo.space is explicitly a safe space. If that phrase makes you scoff, please show yourself the door. If it sounds kinda nice? Well, maybe you belong here.

to all new awooligans: this instance is supposed to federate with mastodon.social but i think something isn't working properly at the moment. they're (usually) getting posts from here but we're not getting anything from there.

it should be a temporary problem? i think our benevolent overlord vahnj is gonna look into it

Awoo Space

Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.

While mature content is allowed here, we strongly believe in being able to choose to engage with content on your own terms, so please make sure to put mature and potentially sensitive content behind the CW feature with enough description that people know what it's about.
