@emerald pleroma is another option too and would probably be better for a single user instance
@emerald big man gaming
(send me any emojis you want and I will add them)
@Macao all NSFW content should be behind a spoiler/content warning. Please report any content that isn't behind a warning, and feel free to mute/block users or instances that post content you don't like (it's very easy to do in the web app, just click the ... and click the corresponding option).
uwu.social is fediblocked 
I really regret making fun of the reports a year ago... it's very unfortunate that we're being classified as a Nazi instance when we absolutely are not
IDK if you can appeal fediblock either, they've blocked uwu.social already so I don't think I can other than emailing the admin. I might try that tomorrow :/

shout out @koakuma and @flandrescarlet for both emailing me so I noticed quickly!
uwu.social was down for a bit because the certificate expired... Looks like the renewal cronjob was broken and I didn't know about it 
Will definitely add some cron monitoring hooks to our job today!!!
Sorry about the inconvenience! 🙏
@MimiyoriHarmonia no bernkastels?
@robot @flandrescarlet damn... why did it represent me as a picture of a train track? lol
Hetzner is getting ddosed again, but this time they blocked all large UDP packets so wireguard doesn't work even on ports outside their advertised affected range.
We're mitigating this by using a UDP-over-TCP tunnel for wireguard. Wireguard is used for connecting securely to our media storage server, so this will impact media storage on uwu.social until we revert it
@InsignificantThoughts I have a remarkable 2 and they give you SSH access and the root password so you can do whatever you want. I installed a package installer, custom launcher, syncthing, and compiled a rust ebook reader on the device itself
I'm sure you could also install a web browser but I haven't tried
@CryptidUnknown welcome! 
A lot more reports and moderation actions have been required over the last few days. Usually I don't have to deal with much other than the occasional report etc. but it's definitely gone up recently
Thankfully Mastodon's moderation tools for reports were recently overhauled making it an easy process. Trends are a less-easy process and I hope the developers make it more streamlined soon
Also, it looks like #Mastodon removed the ability for admins to mark any arbitrary post as sensitive without reporting it first?
@alicia I don't believe that @nazi_accusations is defending people spreading hate, but you can feel free to think that way if you want. I will ask them to change their avatar though to avoid misunderstandings in the future, and I apologize for not asking them to do so sooner.
The reason I shared this report was because it felt ironic. It's calling them a nazi without proof, and the whole point of the account is about sharing instances of people (on both the left and the right) calling other people nazis without proof.
I regret sharing the reports without redacting the domains first and not taking them seriously enough. We rarely get remote reports to this instance because our users are well behaved, and often they are invalid reports, but I will take extra care to keep reports private and take them more seriously in the future.
@flandrescarlet @auri Sorry! Hetzner was blocking our UDP wireguard traffic in response to a DDoS attack so we worked around it
@InsignificantThoughts hetzner had a DDoS attack and blocked large UDP packets on a big range of ports (which we were using for wireguard). Fixed by changing our port number. Sorry about that!
@CryptoJigWorld hi! I'm still around, I just lurk more than I post. I saw your DM but I didn't want to reply before asking the other admin
@wintergreen 50M I think
@flandrescarlet looks like the color palette got deleted so the browser doesn't know what colors to use or something. opening it in photoshop yields the attached monstrosity
ffmpeg doesn't even want anything to do with, so no wonder why it didn't federate lol:
