Hello the #fediverse
I had an account at SDF but it was pseudoanonymous & mostly barren so thought I'd invite myself here (thanks for having me!).
I was brought up in the old HPVCA scene with CyberArmy, CGX, & EFnet taking most of my time between wargaming & exploring systems.
Times change, people grow up (well...) - but that curiosity never leaves us! One day I'll upload old archives for posterity XD
Anyway, I'm pleased to be here and look forwarding to reading & sharing 'content' with you.

Important announcement, especially for BSD Cafe friends who don’t have a local account.
Over the past few days I noticed that, when browsing some public pages on our Mastodon server (especially the federated timeline, meaning posts coming from other instances as well), certain content could appear without a CW and in some cases it was pornographic, illegal, or generally not suitable for a general audience.
The problem is that this was visible even to users who were not logged in, which effectively made BSD Cafe a gateway to that content. Also, some media files are cached on our server, so it could look like BSD Cafe is the source of it.For this reason I had to make a decision: I have disabled the ability for non-logged-in visitors to view posts coming from other instances.
This way, anyone visiting BSD Cafe without an account will only see BSD Cafe local content, helping us avoid potential issues, including legal ones.
Some of you (from other instances) thought you had been blocked because you could no longer see your posts here, but that is not the case: your posts are still fully visible to local users, as usual.I have also re-enabled (at least for now) hashtag browsing, since BSD Cafe is one of the most well federated instances for BSD-related content and it would be a shame to lose that. However, I may reconsider this decision if it leads to problems.
Let me know if you notice anything unusual.

@CathyBikesBook I've settled on Tusky. There's also alternative web frontends that can be used as PWAs like Phanpy that are quite interesting feature wise
-
@blag if you liked something, like it. If you think others might be interested in it, or should see it, boost it. If you have something to say, reply to it. This is my strategy.
-
@emsquared Absolutely! I still prefer Elk on desktop.
-
@candide Still got love for Elk BTW. Used it for a long while but Phanpy has that X factor.
-
@candide ah great. Glad you are getting on with it. Bit quirky at first but it works really sickly. The catchup feature is the secret weapon. Enjoy.
-
@emsquared Thank you for the Phanpy recommendation! I've been using it for a few days now and I absolutely love how it handles boosts! I thought it being a PWA would be an issue, but it actually works out really nicely. I like it even more than my previous favorite web app, Elk.
