Thank you for your hard work! Let me know if you'd like to talk on Fireside Fedi with me sometime!
I didn't know the creator of Fireside Fedi was here!
lol I am here. I'm all in on the Fediverse. ;-) If there's a platform in the Fedi I'm not on, please let me know so I can learn about it! :-D
fireside fedi?
Fediverse centric podcast. I've never watched/listened. But I regularly see episodes through the new que on Lemmy. They even host on peer tube.
TY for linking. :-)
Asking for constructive criticism reasons, is there a reason you don't watch or listen? I've been told my mic quality bothers folk, so working on getting a new setup for that this week hopefully. :-D If you just don't listen because you're not a consumer of that kind of content or just not interested, totally understand. I just thriving on constructive criticism. :-)

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
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.
Is it pronounced like the blood thinner/rat poison (warfarin)?
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 always figured because the weird names have cheaper domain registrations. However wafrn is a pretty short name so, it probably is on the high end.

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
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
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.
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.

I never understood what tumblr was. How is it any different from twitter etc... ?
I am gona tell you a secret: yes but no. It shows full threads by default, thats a starter
For me, Tumblr was an online culture different from the ADHD of other journaling/blogging platforms like Instagram or Twitter. You could find conversations in tags, gifs didn't lag my browser to hell, fan content was proliferous there, webpages could be personalized to the lengths you might've gone to in MySpace. It was the place to find fandoms and fandom content, even for the most obscure series. There were no ads. And I felt like gifs/texts of porn and kinks were made more accessible when searched for by tags.
There was no algorithm - discovery of new blogs was just subscribing to tags & maybe following who your followed-people followed, the way the fediverse kinda is.
I felt like the presentation was good to relish each post of content with less distraction, and the pagination + scroll browsing was just enough to keep me addicted.
Someone correct me if I'm remembering it wrong.
RIP 2011 Tumblr

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
