Good day all! Currently rendering the show from yesterday with the absolutely lovely @anca ! Anca gave me one of the kindest compliments by saying my style was similar to Terry Gross from NPR's Fresh Air. Thank you so much Anca, we will do this again in the future!
And just as a reminder we have a team up today with @gabboman and @javascript joining me to talk about #WAFRN at 1500 Eastern, UTC-5 at https://stream.firesidefedi.live
Also I have connected OBS recording to streaming. So when I screw up in the future, that's how you k ow I'm human, at least we'll have it recorded for future posterity.

nah, it really doesn't makes sense to live on two different open social platforms separately. #activitypub & #atproto both great, but lacking proper interactions, so really #wafrn it is. hands down. now i'll migrate the follows from all the wanderings i had on those platforms.

New levels of opt-in CW muscle memory protection: Solve a game of Fifteen (eight?) before showing content.
This will also come with the more convenient 2 second timeout or just basic dialog.

if you want a quick way to figure out where to throw your money to support wafrn, I've made a quick little page for that just now
https://wafrn.net/faq/donate.html
it's just a quick list of core contributors, moderators and alike that frequently or heavily contribute to wafrn

I would assume that, from an ActivityPub & JSON-LD point-of-view, that these WAFRN "bites" / "pokes" are probably some type of custom Activity type.

It might be fun to make able to use your own custom verbs, too.
For example:
"Joe Blow has throw a water balloon at you."
I think it wouldalso be nice if other Fediverse software supported the displaying of these types of activities (even if they don't support creating them.)

I like the idea of having "fun" things that are part of (at least some of) the Fediverse.
The WAFRN idea of "bites" / "pokes" seems like one of them.
I would assume notifications for it might look something like:
"Joe Blow has bit you."

Non lo conoscevo ma sembra interessante, anche se ho esplorato poco e non credo che farò un altro account ma se qualcunə rimpiange Tumblr...
Se lo provate poi fate sapere com'è 😆

good, good, add #wafrn to the list of sites where I get treated as second-class because I route all traffic thru a private vpn which I set up, own, and operate myself
I suppose I should count myself lucky they don't just show my IP a 403 - or drop my packets on the floor with no response - and call it a day.
here is a #wafrn table viewed through #phanpy from #mitra

Hey everyone—hope you’re all doing okay out there. I want to share something important that’s been weighing on my mind: there have been credible reports about the instance dansu.org that are pretty disturbing. Folks have had their private info exposed without permission, trans community members have been targeted with hateful messages, and AI tools have been used to amplify all of this. It’s heartbreaking to see anyone subjected to doxxing or harassment, especially in spaces meant for connection and support.
We’ve always stood for kindness, respect, and safety in our little corner of the Fediverse. That’s why I’m asking you—if you help run an instance, if you moderate, or if you simply care about our community—to please take these steps:
Fediblock dansu.org right away so no more harmful content can spread.
Suspend any accounts tied to these violations and bump up your security settings to “high.”
Keep an eye out for any sneaky attempts to rejoin under a different name or address.
I know it can feel heavy to deal with stuff like this, but by standing together we protect each other. Thanks for looking out for everyone—especially those who might be more vulnerable. If you have any questions or need to talk about it, reach out. We’re all in this together. ❤️
