@gabboman@app.wafrn.net ,

Is registration on the wafrn website backlogged? I submitted a registration bout 12 hours ago, and the registration page said to wait a few hours for review. Got nothin in my email just yet. Not that I'm antsy, and there's no rush; just hoping to know when I should follow up to log in :u

I didn't get any email confirmation about my submitted registration, I realize. I refrained to keep from spamming, but... Should I actually submit another? :x
Edit: think I saw the fdroid app & submitted my registration form there, mentioning in case it's relevant

Thank you for this! I'm not sure how I would've found out about Wafrn otherwise, lol

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

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

Its intentional.

[–] TheLastOfHisName@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Well this is damned exciting.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Is PM Seymour on it?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] dedconfigurator@pawb.social 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] gabboman@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

for safety reasons on my side yeah sorry

[–] venoft@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 hour ago

Its name stands for "We Allow Female Representing Nipples", based on the tumblr policy of banning Female Representing Nipples.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 hours ago

If everything was named "Something Sane" how would we tell different things apart?

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

What do you have against e I o u and sometimes y?

[–] gabboman@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] traceur301@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] gabboman@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

WAP right now

[–] Lampadaire_raclette@jlai.lu 3 points 7 hours ago

Just registered !

[–] skribe@aussie.zone 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] gabboman@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

its old doom keyboard only

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] gabboman@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

we allow some css in posts

[–] Gibibit@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago
[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 22 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

i love it but Please choose a name that can be pronounced

[–] gabboman@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

no. it means "we allow female representing nipples". Also there is no canonica way of pronunciating it

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Seems pretty easy? Wayfern?

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=

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Dude that gender list is great.

[–] 4grams@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 20 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

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!

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

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 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 9 points 22 hours 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

[–] Eldritch@piefed.social 14 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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.

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

[–] conc@lemmy.ml 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] gitamar@feddit.org 1 points 8 hours ago

Essentially yes, as one side effect is bleedings

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Thats sick!
