Survived day 1 of Dutch #Pinball Open: build up and tournaments + recreational play on soooo many games (pics are just the tip of the iceberg) in the amazing Dutch Pinball Museum in #rotterdam, two more days to go
There are till tickets available too!
Now the way the Internet Archive is doing mastodon is how more organisations and celebs should be joining the fediverse!
They have a dedicated in house instance, which lets you identify official staff, and gives them control and security over their content, whilst also allowing people and instances to opt in or out of interacting with them
Kudos for doing it right @internetarchive!
I didn't wanna post it at first cuz it's schoolwork, but I did spend like 60 hours on this assignment in total so I'm gonna be proud of it openly! so here's my final drawing for one of the assignments in uni which had kept me up until 3 or 4 a.m. every night for the last week

My number one recommendation to all new (and old) fediverse server administrators is: make your registrations closed, however your software allows for it. For Mastodon I think "registration with a review step" is the minimum level you should be locked down. Open-registration instances are
1) going to get overwhelmed with computing needs
2) likely to break down socially, you have no guarantee that the people signing up are a good fit for your existing people
3) going to host spammers

Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
