Can we get a Matrix Space for Pawb.social

I know that we have a telegram chat for announcements but I think it would also be a good idea to also have a matrix space where we can also get announcements and maybe even also chat and get support.

One of the reasons I think we should is that not everyone has Telegram and it requires a phone number to sign up to, but a lot of people have Matrix and even if they don't it's easy to sign up to. Another reason is that telegram isn't a great platform due to it being a centralized corporate platform which is now allowing/forcing ads on it, some of which for very sketchy blockchain services, which obviously isn't great and is a pretty big reason people would want to avoid it.

(I posted this from #Mastodon so it could reach further and also so I could mention people).

So in light of the recent test of ActivityPub on Threads.net I thought I would share how to block threads.net. If you're on a server that blocks it this isn't needed, but if for whatever reason your server won't block it, here's how you can.

Go to your settings and click Import and Export and the import section.

Either create a text file with the meta Domains you'd like to block (one domain per line), or you can download this one I created. (Has Facebook, Insta, and Threads) https://files.catbox.moe/r88lj0.csv

On the import tab upload the csv or text file and import it as a blocked domains list, make sure you're doing it as a merge or you'll lose the ones you already have.

Afterwards you will have successfully blocked the threads domain which will stop you from seeing threads content when they do open federation and make following attempts from people unable to follow you without approval.

Hope people find this helpful, if you do please share so it may help others.

IDK how you could handle this automagically, but the idea of #Threads federating for reals maybe sorta testing only first makes me think:

It'd be neat to kind of broadly pick categories of instances you don't want to see. Like Bots, Corpo Owned, etc.

Obvs a lot of instances will just block Threads but it's one of those things I think should be left to the user, or at least, a major instance should exist where it is up to the user

Valve responds to a single user support ticket about sniffing the Steam Deck vent, saying you probably shouldn't for your health.

Clickbait alive and well I see.

Worked on the ref sheet again. I fixed the head in the logo, made the shading more complex in some views, and changed the layout of the WAAH ​:drgn_yell:​ view. I want to redo the layout for the legs view as well because I just couldn't think of any use for the empty space
