Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

@Annoyed_Crabby oh yeah, this guy documented his experience (he's a popular guy, fedi-side) https://ar.al/2022/11/09/is-the-fediverse-about-to-get-fryed-or-why-every-toot-is-also-a-potential-denial-of-service-attack/
Then of course, before you guys discovered the place, mastodon.social had to be silenced or defed a few times already because open signups+ popularity = spammers sending crypto DMs across Fedi lol. They had to do the same thing every time: close registration and then manually clear out the accounts (they can't afford to be cincai the way other places can once they get big; Fedi does also run a lot on reputation + if you suggest, ah then you join mastodon.social lor, sure will kena)
@imaginelizard
I see. I wasn't aware of that sort of downfall merely by interacting with people. That's a very detailed article, thanks!
@Annoyed_Crabby no probs!
