Interesting: Activityhub and bluesky integration out the door. Thats a first (I think?)

The Foxblob emojis are fantastic

Being an idiot in a hurry, I saw the medication Warfarin

Thank you for your hard work! Let me know if you'd like to talk on Fireside Fedi with me sometime!

I know bsky is not everyone's jam. But I promise wafrn will do the best to protect you from stupid shit they do. The main wafrn instance has blocked jd vance as example ;D

i love it but Please choose a name that can be pronounced

You had me at reticulating splines.

e. Registrations over VPN are disabled. Pause it while registering or you'll have to spend an entire minute rewriting the stuff D=

Is it pronounced like the blood thinner/rat poison (warfarin)?

Fantastic idea! I miss Tumblr terribly ever since the Great Porn Ban of 2018, even though I never even reblogged or followed 'adult' blogs. I just wanted to reblog holsum and funny fanart, but fuck giving into puritan corpo censorship.

What's the moderation policy on genocide denial and the like? I hate having to ask this, but having heard too many people deny the Holodomor on here, I feel it necessary to make the inquiry.

For that matter, more generally, are you prepared, in terms of moderation structure, for the massive amount of legitimately disturbing material that's going to pass through the site and will need to be removed if the site grows beyond a few hundred users? I would hate to join and then see this crash because of (completely understandable) moderator/admin burnout at the depravity and speed of mankind's worst elements.

I see the tumblr culture is already present, congrats! Although I never personally used tumblr, my understanding is that more than features or functionality it was very much the culture that its users cultivated that made that site special.

Exciting! I've made an effort to let go of Insta for both privacy and hatred of Zuck's policies, which left me stuck on Tumblr to look at any fanart/fandom content. Hopefully this could replace people's need for Tumblr in a few years, especially since they also do a shit job of caring about their users.

Edit: Knowing the context of the name is hilarious, wish I was there for the Tumblr exodus. I will be sure to spread to other platforms about this wonderful service.

It has an F-Droid app btw: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.djara.wafrn_rn

I never understood what tumblr was. How is it any different from twitter etc... ?

Also includes Doom in the settings. Mouse didn't work for me though.

wow new hellsite!!

Well, tumblr died out in 2017 because they said "NO PORN!!!"

And all the blogs died.

It's like Dr Cox said: "If you take all the porn off the internet, there'd only be one website left. www.bringbacktheporn.com and nobody would visit because it doesn't have porn."

So. Does WAFRN have porn? And also.....why are these things ALWAYS named with weird hard to pronounce names? Come see my new website Drufyflezak!

What do you have against e I o u and sometimes y?

Only for 18 and up...?

I love WAFRN so much 😭

i was big in the david karp era fandom tumblr and loved it during gleek tumblr and spn tumblr days (i still have an account but don't use it as much) so i'm definitely going to look at this (as someone that also uses bsky, i like the idea that it's integrated with atproto too. i trust that it's trans and queer friendly too? :^

Why do these kind of things always have random-name-generator names? Just name it something sane.

Well this is damned exciting.

any plans to appease the cohost crowd and allow css in posts?

Thats sick!

Just registered !

Is PM Seymour on it?

@gabboman@app.wafrn.net ,

Is registration on the wafrn website backlogged? I submitted a registration bout 12 hours ago, and the registration page said to wait a few hours for review. Got nothin in my email just yet. Not that I'm antsy, and there's no rush; just hoping to know when I should follow up to log in :u

I didn't get any email confirmation about my submitted registration, I realize. I refrained to keep from spamming, but... Should I actually submit another? :x
Edit: think I saw the fdroid app & submitted my registration form there, mentioning in case it's relevant

Thank you for this! I'm not sure how I would've found out about Wafrn otherwise, lol

Honestly very excited to see this! Will share with my friends but they're not early adopter types, sadly. I'll sign up though!

Sure would be nice if the fediverse realized that part of what is holding back adoption is your nonsensical gen alpha service names.
