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.
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
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

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/
