You can follow the #blahajzone and #Hajkey hashtags from your secondary accounts should performance further degrade here while @supakaity does the backend migrations etc
I'm posting to these hashtags from my @jo#Iceshrimp account.
For #blahajzone folks wondering why our #Hajkey / #Iceshrimp and #Lemmy servers (with ~8000 user accounts between them have been struggling lately. We're gonna try a new strategy to contain costs while our usership grows so there'll be some further backend migrations happening.
We're also gonna be merging the latest #Iceshrimp changes into #Hajkey. Hopefully will resolve more of the bugs than add new ones.
And I say we cos while not a mod or admin here, I'm user #9 who's been here using this as my main driver for a long time. I know these gals IRL, love them both to bits, and even when we disagree on fediverse stuff I have never lost trust in them.
Tbh, I'm on a proactively moderated server that has preemptively kept a lot of the worst folks from being able to reach us queers here, and the feedback from a handful of black users here is that #blahajzone has also been generally been harassment free in comparison to other servers they've been on.
Imo, it's actually not to hard as a queer or trans person to find #servers on the #fediverse that will protect you from harassment, but that it is harder to find servers that will also protect indigenous, black, Asian users from racist harassment. And too many queer white folks get a free pass for ignorance tbh, a privilege that many of us have had for far too long.
It's much the same on #Bluesky where I haven't been harassed for being #queer and trans - again there's large communities and plenty of allies - but anti-black racism has been in the spotlight again recently and the devs called out for lagging behind on safety and moderation features that bigots exploit for harassment campaigns.
Far too many fediverse projects are led by men, mostly white men, who are lionised, promoted and financed by another layer of mostly white men. They ultimately get the veto on minority protections.
As much as I hate meta does anyone know how to unmute accounts on threads from #blahajzone? Have some friends moving there and I still want to be able to talk to them
A big hello and welcome to all the new people who've joined #blahajzone the past couple of days. It's great to have you here!
Our admins are @ada and @supakaity.
Ada leads the front of house and moderation side of Blåhaj Zone, while Kaity leads the back-end and maintains Hajkey for us & a small group of other instances.
We also have a #Lemmy server available for signups at https://lemmy.blahaj.zone and a #kbin server that's soon to be open, for those looking for #Reddit - like communities. They can also be interacted with from here or other places in the Fediverse.
Seconded. A cosy queer , neurodivergent, and socialist kbin instance would be ideal. I'm hoping we get a instance set up here at #blahajzone soon enough.
Uh oh, seems like #blahajzone Calckey instance has been non-responsive for the past 3 hours. Is there a status page? @blahaj@blahaj (my profile: @zepfanman)
Help Me Please!
Hi! This is my post with CW effectively bluring its content on my phone and looks nice! But the unhide button is behind the icons and not able to tap...
Do you guys know how to go around this? #Calckey#BlahajZone
It's probably just me but when I'm scrolling through my local feed and I go to click on the boost or react buttons and I don't click it in the exact right spot it shoots me back to my home feed.
One second I'm deep into my local feed and then boop suddenly I'm at the top of my home feed or looking at a blank space and the post I was about to click on is buried and it's hard I have to scroll a bit to find it again.
@MariaTheMartian We have a feature that @supakaity coded into our #blahajzone fork that stops that, but it's not available in the main #Calckey branch. I does seem to be an issue though, as you're not the first to experience the frustration.
Oh my goodness, this setting is SO POWERFUL! I have 44 themes installed on my Arch LibreWolf browser and was hoping I could make these all available on my other browsers and devices. I set up a backup on the device mentioned and found out these backups SYNC ON ALL DEVICES!! #calckey#blahajzone#settings#browser
