Hello, its me gabbo the creator of this hellsite. I am totaly not making this post to make sure that lemmy federation works properly
Honestly very excited to see this! Will share with my friends but they’re not early adopter types, sadly. I’ll sign up though!
Wafrn has existed for more than 3 years at this point haha
I assume that is the link?
Also includes Doom in the settings. Mouse didn’t work for me though.
its old doom keyboard only
What do you have against e I o u and sometimes y?
wafrn stands for We Allow Female Representing Nipples in reference to 2018 tumblr porn ban
I never understood what tumblr was. How is it any different from twitter etc… ?
For me, Tumblr was an online culture different from the ADHD of other journaling/blogging platforms like Instagram or Twitter. You could find conversations in tags, gifs didn’t lag my browser to hell, fan content was proliferous there, webpages could be personalized to the lengths you might’ve gone to in MySpace. It was the place to find fandoms and fandom content, even for the most obscure series. There were no ads. And I felt like gifs/texts of porn and kinks were made more accessible when searched for by tags.
There was no algorithm - discovery of new blogs was just subscribing to tags & maybe following who your followed-people followed, the way the fediverse kinda is.
I felt like the presentation was good to relish each post of content with less distraction, and the pagination + scroll browsing was just enough to keep me addicted.
Someone correct me if I’m remembering it wrong.
RIP 2011 Tumblr
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
One of the biggest issues with fediverse platforms is poor presentation. This is another good example of that.
how would you do it
Hire a designer.
you pay for it https://ko-fi.com/wafrn
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.
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=
Only for 18 and up…?
for safety reasons on my side yeah sorry
Thank god. I hate being on websites with kids.
i love it but Please choose a name that can be pronounced
no. it means “we allow female representing nipples”. Also there is no canonica way of pronunciating it
