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

hmm is something up with federation with mastodon.social?

Hi awoo.spacers-

If someone has a strobing avatar, please report the account to me if it's visible here. I will silence them so they cannot show up in notifications and the PTL.

For others: if you were silenced for this and wish to ask for the ability to interact with awoo.space again, make sure you don't use a strobing avatar again, and please message me over at @vahnj@mastodon.social since I won't get it here.

anxiety, mastodon 

all the new people coming to mastodon, and the resulting server issues, are stressing me out in a way i didn't expect it would

when i was on twitter in the early failwhale days, downtime just made me irritated. with the fediverse, i worry about its future. i'm surprised how invested i already feel about these spaces 😳

work stress 

i really need to manage my time better. a variety of deadlines with one client, and falling behind with another. instead i'm messing around on the mastodons and the awoos and the icosas...

Heyyy if you're talkin shit about mastodon.social's current uptime woes, your ass BETTER be paying @Gargron. patreon.com/user?u=619786

i might make this account private actually *ponders*

these morning meetings are going to be the death of me

When recommending to your friends, give the other instances some love too: instances.mastodon.xyz/ It looks like mastodon.social is under even heavier load than yesterday right now

because of the limited federation, and the focus on safety in the rules, i'll probably use this awoo account for more personal stuff?

hmm hmmm

i like how icosahedron.website takes you right to the about page with a link to the rules right up front

TootyFruity, the juicy mastodon mobile client, is now open source and in open beta!

i like to think that an alien species out there subsists on language

when they wake up in the middle of the night they like to eat a midnight snark

i'm still not sure what to use this account for? also i only just learned how awoo.space federates *only* with mastodon.social. i need to look into the details of what that means, practically (e.g. with boosting, replies)

i think i'm going to take a tip from @raccoon and alter my profile pic on this instance, to make it easier to tell them apart
