Important Announcement:
Closure of Our Mastodon Instance
Dear friends,
After 8 incredible years of running this Mastodon instance as a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, it is with a heavy heart that I announce its closure. Due to rising operational costs and personal life challenges, I am no longer able to sustain it financially, as I’m currently managing significant debts.
This space has meant the world to me. I created it with the hope of giving us a space where we could be ourselves - safely, freely and unapologetically. Maintaining this community has been an honour and I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of it, whether you joined years ago or just recently.
To the admin and moderator team: I wholeheartedly thank you. You’ve been the pillars of this community, especially during times when I wasn’t able to be present.
I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Ellie - and to our dearly missed Porsupah - for stepping in when I was struggling with my mental health. Your help in restoring and maintaining the server during that period meant more than I can ever say.
The instance will officially shut down on 15 August 2025. I encourage you to migrate your account to another instance where you feel safe and supported. If you’d like to stay in touch, you can find me at @Self@mastodon.social.
This may be goodbye to the server, but not necessarily to the connections you've built.
From the bottom of my heart: thank you - for your trust, your kindness and your presence.
With love and solidarity,
Self ![]()
@mcc I don't know about HDR (the standards seem to be independent of graphics card vendors though), but afaik Nvidia supported the AMD type of VRR that doesn't need special hardware for a while now
@onfy be my guest
@onfy I think trans women should do whatever they want with games
reminder that framework built a desktop with soldered RAM, a machine that's less repairable than a bog standard desktop computer
@onfy idk I didn't think further than the pun
@onfy some of them make video games
maybe it's a make or break scenario
@Siph why do you need a phone
@mwichary I think this is for Chromecast functionality, in this case
hat jemand eine idee wie man ein thinkpad P14s Gen 2 AMD (Type 21A0) wieder zum laufen bekommt, was nach einem botched firmware update (?) komplett tot ist (lade-LED leuchtet nicht, einschalter drücken macht keinen mucks, batterie-reset poken und batterie abklemmen bringt auch nichts)?
(es wurde während normaler nutzung der bildschirm schwarz, hab dann nach einer weile mit powerbutton-longpress resettet, dann kam erst fwupd und dann der lenovo-firmware-update-screen, und jetzt gehts nicht mehr)
@socks common misconception. it's actually a girl that's T-posing
@pup_hime ummmmm *pets*
In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
