@Firstaide @noiob yeah, I wonder if it might be best to close registrations for a while until we can figure out a way to clearly let new users know what the expectations are here during sign up
it could also be neat if there was an instance official bot that messages new users with an intro including a snippet about the instance rules
@raccoon totes :D
@envgen it's taken me months to sort of not figure out foundation
bleh I guess I'm gonna go back to using my mastodon.social account for a while. sorry for the noise folks.
I understand the reasons for awoo.space not federating to other masto instances and hopefully that can go away as masto gets more features to fix those issues. maybe I'll be back at some point because the moderation here does feel better than on the main instance
if you don't already follow me there: @erinolivia@mastodon.social
decentralised social media is a really amazing idea that will live or die on the successful communication of the concepts
unfortunately "instances" and "federation" are not even a tiny bit self-descriptive and that's a real shame
here's a concept I just pulled out of my ass -
Instances > Planet
Federation > Galaxy
I'm a member of the mastodon planet and can see the planet timeline. to see all other planets at once, i view the galaxy timeline
don't even need to explain that really
@noiob thanks :) I'm already enjoying the cozier feel here

Help, I looked at a picture of a baby otter being bottle fed, and even I can barely handle this level of cuteness https://www.instagram.com/p/BSXPJ6IjhHp/
