I am sad to hear the news of aethy shutting down. Already I am receiving a lot of requests for accounts from aethy users on top of the backlog of applications I still have to get through.
I am also seeing concerns over the future of our own instance here. Please know that if baraag shuts down it is because I have exhausted every possible avenue to keep this community alive. I will not give up for as long as I can legally and financially afford to maintain baraag.
Heiyuu!
@satori thanks, gotta say i really like baraag, cause just feels pretty chill and can mostly post without worry, of course theres some stuff i dont like, but overall its been pretty good, thanks again

@satori Oh, thank god. 😭 I was so worried about this one shutting down too. I feel much more calm now. Thank you.

@satori thank you for your hard work

I also want to apologize for the sluggish performance of baraag lately. I am aware that browsing & loading pages have been less than ideal. Ever since the mass exodus from X started, baraag has been under heavy load as people traffic to alternatives like the fediverse or bluesky. I tried adding more resources but its barely able to keep up. I plan to migrate baraag in the next month to a more powerful server to get us back to speed. 7 years we survived. With your support let us survive another 7

@satori as long as it work thats good enough for me. i wish i could do more to help.

@satori great to hear and to be honest the reason aethy is shutting down is such fear of possibilities that could or couldnt happen.
as much as i dont like trump i trully doubt he will do anything the man always promise so much and never do anything

@satori Our virtue is our strength. Our desire for art and commitment to free expression is our life. And our collective strength and life are our legacy.
The shackles of repression always buckle under the burden of virtue. The fires of freedom burn bright.

@satori Baraag is one of the last few places online where I and many others have been able to freely express ourselves as creatives. Genuinely I can't thank you enough for that 🙏

@satori Could us artists perhaps do any more to contribute? Perhaps an event hosted once a year or so where willing participants take commissions which profits will go into donations for the instance?
I know this is something one could do subtly, all year round. But perhaps making it an event helps raise awareness, and maybe it brings fun to both commissioners and artists.
I mean, many artists here already love doing monthly challenges, so why not do something similar for baraag?
TheKobra: Commissions are Open
@satori sucks when people freak tf out and try to pile into one places over the smallest things. We are all under the same scrutiny and no matter where you run life won't get immediately better but don't make it hard on other people. This is the one place artists like me can truly express the content i want and i'd hate for something to happen especially with all the work yall have put in to make it a place for everyone 💪

@satori Has been pretty clunky lately, but I still like it. :blobderp: 👍

@satori please let baraag stay forever. Here is such nice, the lack of dumb restrictions has made this a better place for most nsfw artists here and I'm grateful for that. Thank you so much for the hard work you've been putting on it, let's hope for more years of life <3

@satori Thank you immensely for your service.

@satori i want to take a moment from laughing at the aethy mods to tell you that you're an absolute king

@satori The smoke adds character and flavor.

@satori Aethy is closing down? Well shit...

@satori Thanks for all the work you do to keep this place going.

@satori Another nail in the coffin of Loli?Sho and creative freedom. Another victory for the insufferable fucking puritanical fuckwits world wide. I wish each and every person who unjustly attacked Aethy a very unhappy die pitiful and alone.

@satori i cannot thank you enough for what you do. we are in your debt as creatives.
La Famille Club :daddy:
@satori Damn, I wasn't aware of that. I only peek in on that site once in a while, but I've recommended people go there b/c it's one of the sites they can follow what goes on here if they cannot get an account here.

@satori thank you so much for all of your hard work! baraag means so much to me.
Keltzar
@satori I sincerely hope that more people who are flocking here appreciate the work you are doing and help support the site so it can handle all this.

@satori I'm sad for its users but not for its admins: They chickened out over the silliest fearmongering they could buy from the mainstream media. You're actually trying and setting an example, sad how few others are willing to follow.
Once more this is proof that #Mastodon and the #fediverse need a serious design upgrade. It's #decentralized yes, but if one big server goes down tons of people are screwed. We need a more node based approach with mirroring of posts between servers!

@satori I get slowness sometimes but don't mind, especially if it doesn't get worse I'm fine. Just glad this place is here: Please keep things going as you have for years now ❤️

@satori Thank you so much for everything you do, Koi. This is the place I was able to fully express myself, and I've met a great handful of friends here who'd I'd do *anything* for.
The community and I thank you greatly for everything you do.
(Also, please don't stress too much about performance, I'd rather have a slow Baraag than no Baraag. 💚)

@satori so are donations currently covering costs and allowing you to set a little back for emergencies?
and how do you see the chances that now that they're done with aethy, they'll start using their report brigade on baraag (or ramping it up more than they maybe already are)?
♡ak1♡
@satori You're doing great. I appreciate having this place to post. I'm not really well versed with how crypto wallets work, but maybe offering other instances to pay, that isn't Paypal of course
kava
@satori any site web u have in mind aside this it could be a better option?
albertdario
@satori i have a question. baraag is not going to close? and baraag has nothing to do with aethy because it is different?

@satori thank you for your hard work koi

@satori I'm helping with subbing to your Fanbox cause this place is worth supporting.
