Hello, its me gabbo the creator of this hellsite. I am totaly not making this post to make sure that lemmy federation works properly
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.
It was the idea from the start
wow new hellsite!!
I never understood what tumblr was. How is it any different from twitter etc... ?
It is Blogger that wanted to become twitter and achieved neither
I am gona tell you a secret: yes but no. It shows full threads by default, thats a starter
Sure would be nice if the fediverse realized that part of what is holding back adoption is your nonsensical gen alpha service names.
One of the biggest issues with fediverse platforms is poor presentation. This is another good example of that.
Its intentional.
Well this is damned exciting.
@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
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.
its a fedi platform, shit will happen but we have blocked the worst of the wrost on fedi. And we also check registrations for vpns. Registration with vpn is not allowed for safety
Why do these kind of things always have random-name-generator names? Just name it something sane.
Its name stands for "We Allow Female Representing Nipples", based on the tumblr policy of banning Female Representing Nipples.
If everything was named "Something Sane" how would we tell different things apart?
Only for 18 and up...?
for safety reasons on my side yeah sorry
Thank god. I hate being on websites with kids.
What do you have against e I o u and sometimes y?
wafrn stands for We Allow Female Representing Nipples in reference to 2018 tumblr porn ban
err wasn't the tumblr verbiage "female presenting nipples"?
that is correct but I already bought the domain when I realized that and waprn doesnt sound as well
WAP right now
Also includes Doom in the settings. Mouse didn't work for me though.
its old doom keyboard only
Just registered !
i love it but Please choose a name that can be pronounced
no. it means "we allow female representing nipples". Also there is no canonica way of pronunciating it
Seems pretty easy? Wayfern?
No, it's "wah-fren."
Wuff-fern
any plans to appease the cohost crowd and allow css in posts?
we allow some css in posts
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=
Dude that gender list is great.
My ~~god~~ cat with disturbingly human lips, the internet is back.
Seriously, I love it. Correct amount of humor and functionality. I’m on the road but I’ll be signing up for sure.
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!
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
this post is totaly not a test of lemmy federation wink wink
