Hello I'm Draconic NEO, most people just call me NEO or Draconic. I am a #furry who is into #linux and #opensource. I'm #AroAce please don't flirt with me it makes me uncomfortable. I don't really feel a gender (#Agender?) and don't really care what pronouns people use for me.
Warning I tend to act a bit Silly.

Disclaimer: Mastodon.social and Mastodon.world are limited, I'd advise against following me from those instances without a DM to let me know who you are because those instances often have spam accounts (Keep in mind the DM must be on my Matrix or another platform because the limit means I will not see it on Mastodon). If you don't and I can't figure out who you are I won't approve your follow. If you want to avoid this, I encourage migrating to a server that isn't limited.

That's a bit far, I think they should just be educated on proper posting etiquette for forum based Fediverse platforms like Lemmy and Mbin.
Depends if the person was already hoarding wealth before or had the desire to. Generally those who have a desire for wealth tend to hoard gold as dergs, those who don't, well they don't.
@Ghostalmedia @deadsuperhero I think the fact that I was able to see and reply to this comment of yours from Mastodon proves this idea false, if you check the Post history of this account you will also find that content posted in Lemmy is visible.
They absolutely do interact, lemmy is way more Mastodon friendly than most people give it credit for, considering the fact that communities/groups, automatically boost every post and comment for visibility.
So people on Lemmy being concerned about poorly moderated or cesspool microblog instances is indeed a valid concern.
Gifs don't upload on the instance
[Bug] Gifs don't upload on the instance
I tried to upload a gif but I get this error message when doing so:
{"data":{"msg":"Failed external validation","files":null},"state":"success"}
I can upload any other type of image but gifs always fail for some reason. Does anyone have any clue what could be going wrong? There's obviously something wrong with pictrs but I'm not sure what.
Mentioning admins for visibility @Db0 @RandomLegend @Flatworm7591
@RavenLuni @crashdoom Yeah I agree. Automated moderation systems can cause a lot of problems when they ban or limit without human interaction.
If they do though, they need to inform the user of the actions performed, and there needs to be an easy way to appeal them, so they aren't just baseless automated bans like on every mainstream service.
@austin @frosty Oh that's really handy and helps when it comes to mitigating outages.
Though I guess in this situation the biggest issue isn't that the room wouldn't be available (since it's copied and exists elsewhere) but that the accounts of the room operators (which are probably on the same server as that room) wouldn't be available to deliver messages and updates during an outage affecting the self-hosted home server. Which is why it would be best to have something critical like an announcements and support channels on a more multi-purpose server like matrix.org as opposed to a self hosted one, that way the updates can be posted there if pawb.social servers aren't working, since their accounts will be hosted on Matrix.org as opposed to their own server.
@frosty I'm usually all for self-hosting but here I think that the best thing is for it to be on a de-facto server like Matrix.org that way it'll be available in case our servers here are offline or not working for whatever reason. A self-hosted matrix server might not be available in such an outage, and therefore wouldn't be able to provide during the outage (which is important for receiving updates about the situation).
Can we get a Matrix Space for Pawb.social
Can we get a Matrix Space for Pawb.social
I know that we have a telegram chat for announcements but I think it would also be a good idea to also have a matrix space where we can also get announcements and maybe even also chat and get support.
One of the reasons I think we should is that not everyone has Telegram and it requires a phone number to sign up to, but a lot of people have Matrix and even if they don't it's easy to sign up to. Another reason is that telegram isn't a great platform due to it being a centralized corporate platform which is now allowing/forcing ads on it, some of which for very sketchy blockchain services, which obviously isn't great and is a pretty big reason people would want to avoid it.
(I posted this from #Mastodon so it could reach further and also so I could mention people).
