@Firstaide @envgen +1. there are a lot of people making accounts here just because masto.social is closed and I doubt they realize that this place has a much stricter set of rules / federation limitations

a few days ago I didn't really like the limited federation thing here but I'm kind glad it's there at the moment tbh

aaaa our new cat is going to be dropped off any minute!!

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.

@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

The instance rules really need to be front and center on the sign up page

yay the replacement power adapter arrived so I can finally play my switch on the tv

the masto.social queue must be backed up... seeing 1 hour delays there again

@envgen it's taken me months to sort of not figure out foundation

oh my the verge just wrote an article about masto D:

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

hmm I didn't realize awoo.space only federates to mastodon.social... I thought it was all mastodon instances :/

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.
