@admin ohhhh we're allowlist-based here

@txt_file by "contribute hardware power" I assumed the OP meant "help pay for server costs", not "set up a box in a closet."

@admin I'm trying to follow someone from mstdn.social and it's not showing up, do we need to be federated or is that instance blocked for some reason?

@rey same here. not great

@mia_miau@chaos.social is it possible to contribute hardware to an existing instance that needs the help? Long term fewer big instances is more stable than many small ones

I found the form! submitted

@LizzyReimer it takes some time to get used to the "federated" (like email!) system. And it will take some time for the ecosystem to work itself out. Early days.

@LizzyReimer it works!

I am trying to follow @tomtomorrow@mstdn.social but it's not working, does that mean we don't federate with them? Does someone need to change a setting?

@batbeeps I signed up, i have yet to be allowed to post after three days

I'm still of the opinion that the problems of mastodon can and will be solved by more and better instances. (semi) Portable accounts means people can jump ship if they don't like the one they are on. It's a different set of problems than birdsite, and I'm not convinced they are fatal.

@smakian which site is Turbo Grafx 16

@sinnerhouse I dropped cbat (the "bad at sex" meme song) at a con and people loved it. Meme songs are meme because they are catchy :)

@Leucrotta Keidi Klum has been winning Halloween for 20 years -- there are wonderful galleries of all the bizarre things she's done

@Critter *90%

@Critter yeah maybe??? I dunno???? Not going to be mad at "they" or anything. I would say 90 "he" with impeccably timed "she" but who can be expected to know when that is, least of all me

cohost.org has slowed to a crawl so that's interesting. People are hungry for a new site but are waiting to find out which one to go to

Noticed at furpoc that there were a lot of he/they or she/they merch but no he/she. "They" doesn't feel right, what can I say my feels are kinda binary 🫠

@ConnyDuck people are so conditioned to accepting terms of use I don't think anyone would notice. I wouldn't make them too silly, just find a basic template and use it as is
