I think if I try and do another mastodon instance, I'll just create something new, because witches.academy wasn't really working plus witches.town is awesome.
Maybe I'll go with something more adult-oriented?
@bea THEN I DON'T HAVE TO, tho I'll just make something else then >^<
But I definitely need to look into some of those then, because I don't think Alda would appreciate me disseminating girlcock on this instance haha
@bea Oh well, I was gonna tag it.
@spiderrobotpig yeah maybe chat with @Succubunbun and see how she feels about being here?
@bea @Succubunbun Sounds like a good call :3
Also I need to make an account on your instance anyway, I don't think I ever did and Amaroq does multi-account support now
@spiderrobotpig well there's two flavours, classic and ephemeral
you're welcome on both (:
@bea I REMEBER Ephemeral that one was awesome :3
But yeah, probably gonna stick with the classic haha
@spiderrobotpig @bea oh hey hey! so my take: i'd fuckin' love an adult oriented instance. there are two that i know of, one doesn't federate (kink.family) and one is run by a dude who gives me bad vibes and is full of a LOT of reposted/unsourced content. (kinky.business)
I like being on glitch.social and I'd be fine staying here and interacting with a lewd/kink community but generally I'd love to have an instance to hop to that's focused around what I do.
@Succubunbun @bea Yeah, I actually had kinky.business suggested to me, which is now making me nervous hearing what you said, but I think that would be cool, and if you want to do that, I could probably get a new one set up at some point tbh
girlcock.club XP
@spiderrobotpig @bea i still want .fuck to be a TLD so i can just have succubunbun.fuck
but nevertheless, yeah i've had one K.B user show up and they kinda had some weird transphobic stuff i had to DM them about.
my requests for an instance would mainly be that proper sourcing is dealt with well, and that the moderators are also sex workers/know the issues well
@Succubunbun Yeah, that sounds really good tbh?
Like, I'm still new at the sex work thing, but "somewhere not transphobic" is hella important to me, so I think that would be good.
Also shit that would be a good TLD
@spiderrobotpig i'm fully willing to help out however i can, and i think there's a lot of improvements+ideas that can be brought to mastodon from the sex work community?
like, there are lots of little things that make it way easier to do sex work on tumblr than twitter. pinned tweets and being able to queue self-reblogs make keeping your content active rly easy
@Succubunbun Yeah that would be great X3
I do have experience getting masto instances up and running, so I could definitely do that
Also apparently sexworker.club is only $0.89
@spiderrobotpig @Succubunbun i can host this if y'all just wanna operate it
@bea @Succubunbun Oh that would be even easier tbh
@spiderrobotpig @Succubunbun the server still has some spare RAM so yeah...
@bea @Succubunbun awwwwwww C: that's really sweet
@Succubunbun also that stuff should be relatively easy to implement no? Pinning stuff and longer bios would be really useful tbh.
@spiderrobotpig Probably! The issue is doing it widespread. Decentralized platforms have the issue that you still need widespread support of a feature for it to be useful. Even if I put up a PR for pinned tweets, Gargafuck could go "but that's not useful" and it'd then never make it to the main Mastodon branch and it'd probably just be on like, glitchsoc
@Succubunbun oh yeah that makes sense >.>
But surely he would put something with obvious functionality like that if we built it no? Or maybe not, *shrug*
WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN MASTODON WITH BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS
@spiderrobotpig our own mastodon with blackjack and full service sex workers, let's be respectful <3
but yeah no i have no clue if he'd go for it or not, it just seems like one of those "well _i_ don't think it's useful" things and then that's a 5 page argument on the JoinMastodon Discourse site
@Succubunbun Yeah that's true. Full service sex workers is way better tbh <3
Also, he does seem like the kind of person to do that, though most interactions with him have been good? I've only really had problems with Shel and Trev but I don't know how much things have changed since I've come back tbh
Welcome back!
I'm not really contributing to Mastodon anymore since my SO is very ill, but I'd be glad to give a +1 or a positive comment if you have a pull request for something useful. Especially if it's getting obstructed just because someone doesn't like it.
@Succubunbun @spiderrobotpig (Reposting from non-private account)
I'm the one who recommended KB, and after this I'm thinking of abandoning it, because damn, those are problems I didn't even realize. :O
As to getting a feature merged, I've already gotten one in, and I think the devs are starting to trust my work, so there's a good chance I could get it mainlined. Because seriously good features, yo.
@Succubunbun @spiderrobotpig a thing worth keeping in mind is that at some point in the indeterminate future there will be the ability to post into specific topics that people can subscribe to, so there will be a little less pressure to make specific instances for everything
@bea @spiderrobotpig of course, i massively look forward to that time :P
@Succubunbun @spiderrobotpig lotta people want it, been talked about a bunch, and it's on my list of stuff to do if nobody else does it first
full disclosure that list is not moving fast
@bea @Succubunbun Oh? That's hella neat
@spiderrobotpig You can, but you have to post those pictures not-listed (it should not appear on the timeline) and they should be tagged NSFW (you have to click to view them).
@Seipas Yeah, I figured NSFW, but I didn't know about Unlisted.
I MAY CONSIDER THAT THEN
Seems like it would be simple enough tbh.
@spiderrobotpig The rules are here : https://witches.town/about/more
You can always ask @TheSupreme for more informations (she's a bot who redirects the questions to admins). ^^
@Seipas @TheSupreme THERE'S MORE THAN ONE ADMIN NOW Y'ALL HAVE GROWN SO MUCH OMG
Also Thanks :3 Lots of good info
@spiderrobotpig not untagged on the public TLs anyway
you can disseminate girlcock on my instances but similar rules apply
i do have at least one user who does so.....
