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

[-] gabboman@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

this post is totaly not a test of lemmy federation wink wink

[-] capuccino@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

i can't make posts about vance?

[-] gabboman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

You can and theoreticaly you can actualy ~~mention~~ harrass him in bluesky funily enough but wont look like a mention in wafrn end

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] gabboman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

Being an idiot in a hurry, I saw the medication Warfarin

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

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!

[-] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

Thank you for your hard work! Let me know if you'd like to talk on Fireside Fedi with me sometime!

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

I didn't know the creator of Fireside Fedi was here!

[-] ozoned@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

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

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.

[-] ozoned@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

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. :-)

[-] Eldritch@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

You don't always need an expensive microphone. But a pop filter can make a much bigger impact than you would believe. Honestly the thing I see a lot of YouTubers using often that seems to work out quite well are lavalier mics. Not the traditional desktop microphones.

A lavalier microphone attached to a collar or lapel. Is generally outside of the direct path of your voice. So the need for pop filtering Etc is reduced. Though many of them do provide filters for it. Further since they are generally clipped to you the distance between you and them doesn't change much. Meaning that your levels stay much more consistent and even. No leaning away from mic and then back in. And they sometimes have a few less issues with assonance.

That's not even touching the headaches that can be simply capturing footage or streaming in obs. That rabbit hole goes deep. It's also a lot of fun with a lot of opportunity to be creative.

And as I said in my other post I just don't tend to listen to many podcasts at all. I have listened to behind the bastards a little bit in the past, Pod save America a couple times. Even the Retro hour a few times with RMC. But it's just never been something that I have a lot of time available to focus on or desire to. Though I might give it a try.

Also includes Doom in the settings. Mouse didn't work for me though.

[-] gabboman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

for safety reasons on my side yeah sorry

[-] Balerion6@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Thank god. I hate being on websites with kids.

[-] Jayjader@jlai.lu 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

two back-to-back W.A.F.R.N. posts by the same user that read "rent lowering nsfw boosts" and "gotta keed the tech bros at bay"

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.

[-] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Is it pronounced like the blood thinner/rat poison (warfarin)?

[-] conc@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Is that how it kills the rats? Thins their blood to death?

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.

wafrn stands for We Allow Female Representing Nipples in reference to 2018 tumblr porn ban

[-] traceur301@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

err wasn't the tumblr verbiage "female presenting nipples"?

[-] gabboman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

that is correct but I already bought the domain when I realized that and waprn doesnt sound as well

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

any plans to appease the cohost crowd and allow css in posts?

[-] gabboman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

we allow some css in posts

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

One of the biggest issues with fediverse platforms is poor presentation. This is another good example of that.

I love WAFRN so much 😭

[-] venoft@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Why do these kind of things always have random-name-generator names? Just name it something sane.

i was big in the david karp era fandom tumblr and loved it during gleek tumblr and spn tumblr days (i still have an account but don't use it as much) so i'm definitely going to look at this (as someone that also uses bsky, i like the idea that it's integrated with atproto too. i trust that it's trans and queer friendly too? :^
