@Doll@NonPlayableClown@goatmeal Registrations are closed on the bugout zone; some exceptions have been made, like I did an invite bot for baestfugees. They will be open on Revolver-edition FSE.
Basically, pedophiles and people that showed up just to see how much I'd actually put up with before swinging the banhammer; naming yourself "Free Speech Extremist" makes them come out of the woodwork. When the box shat itself, I was just gonna hang out on SPC and hack on Revolver and then SPC blew up and I figured, like...I had better just run an instance if I want to make sure that I have an instance. So, different domain. There's a longer explanation on the blog: https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/update-and-roadmap.html .
The blog doesn't cover the catastrophe pile-up that hosed most of the year, but other than that and the frustrating series of hosting retardations that are ongoing at present, we're back on schedule.
@p@Doll@NonPlayableClown@goatmeal what the heck p, you should let me do illegal stuff on your instance, putting you in legal trouble; or else it's not free speech!
@Doll@NonPlayableClown@goatmeal Yep, apologies. After I have fixed some other hosting-related issues, I'm going to put fedilist back up and then resume hacking on the stupid Elixir thing (as much as I like Pleroma, I have come to very strongly dislike the language it is written in) to have FSE's uploads go directly to Revolver (right now they just get shuffled there on demand); that's also where Fedilist is going to be storing raw responses, as a kind of test and also a bandwidth-saving maneuver. youmustwearaface.png
@lain@Doll@NonPlayableClown@RedTechEngineer@goatmeal A friend of mine went out to do grad-student stuff with him a few years ago; allegedly he's as brilliant/hilarious in person as his writing makes him appear.
