your purple friend @maffsie@queer.party

@uhie I understand that it’s still not something that you’d like seeing in your timeline - you as a user are able to block instances so that you never see anything from them; just open the profile of anyone from that instance, click the three-dot menu on their profile, then click “Hide everything from (instance.name)” - screenshot attached.

I realise this isn’t the outcome you wanted, but I hope this has cleared things up a bit, and helped? https://queer.party/media/xkZ4FoQn7ftZMN55CQo

@uhie Hi! I’m not comfortable with blocking an instance like that - while it is an instance aimed at adults who share a particular fetish, there is no link with paedophilia, I’m aware that the administration there enforce sensitive content tags on all federated posts, and their ToS explicitly forbids any content involving minors. If you’ve seen any such content, you absolutely should report it, as the moderation there appear to be very active in enforcing their ToS.

folks i beg of you please tag your nsfw posts as sensitive content and use content warnings (don’t just put nsfw language describing your post in the content warning!)

what i'm overwhelmed by, spiceworks, is marketing communications.

@staticsafe no actually it’s

@staticsafe what weirdness are you doing with your display name https://queer.party/media/SEzR2SBpUvVQTQ7dtr0

@squirrellilly could you check and let me know if it's working now?

and we're back!

@maxine it's a script I wrote to manage upgrades to Mastodon through docker, yeah

McHurry Up

"updates are about to happen", i say, not realising that just because the database backup is done does not mean that the rest of the backup will take less time.

updates are about to happen! see y'all soon

friends, queer.party will be down shortly for a minute or two to install platform updates, be back soon!

@daylight your icon is super cute :3

@CaptainDadBeard It's by design - Tor endpoints are blacklisted in the firewall because that's always been the biggest source of unfriendly traffic in all the services I've ran in the past

@alyxgalaxy stating nsfw in the CW, but also clicking the sensitive media button when uploading media (see very poorly edited screenshot attached) https://queer.party/media/5j3ojW2u7Dlv1yyBY60

@Sir_Boops fuckin elitist docker users

true tragedy.

i started another VM on the hypervisor and the 33gb VM dropped to 28gb

hyper-v what are you on today

google dot com why did this VM drop from 22gb ram in use, to 20gb, and then balloon to 33gb
