Notices by Kitty Cat (kitty@kitty.social)

is anybody interested in taking over kitty.social and/or (especially) kitty.tube? pls dm. technical knowledge desired but I'd be happy to assist as needed on an ongoing basis.

🔁 boosts/renotes appreciated

obviously alarming post from me but
- this has me concerned, I'm not mentally or financially prepared to handle any litigation
- tbh i'm a deadbeat admin, I make sure the site's accessible but barely touch it other than that, and the people here deserve more than that... I don't put any blame on our current moderation team as their time is completely voluntary, but I haven't done a very good job of ensuring we have active and coordinated moderation here.

note that no immediate action here on kitty.social is pending
- possible candidates would be well vetted, publicly announced and community approved by poll with a reasonable amount of advance notice
- as far as I'm aware, this site is still currently in the clear from the laws that threaten to shut it down. I have no intention of shutting down the site as long as this stands, but an administrative candidate in a different legal jurisdiction without these problematic laws could help to ensure the long term future of the site
- kitty.tube is probably still slated to be shut down on new years, haven't had the time to assess that, but it's extremely high risk for me to continue running

new pb whee

@Linux Neato, I'll have to check those out.

Separately, on the app front, apparently NewPipe also works with PeerTube.

@Linux @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Already added :neocat_thumbsup:

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be I do now :blobsmilehappyeyes:

https://kitty.tube/ now allows publishing videos without moderator approval.
Also, does anybody have any recommendations for other peertube instances that kitty.tube should follow?

--
I realized that going for a nap immediately after opening the site was a terrible idea, since nobody would be able to upload anything and have it be visible until I woke back up. Please don't abuse my decision :<

If this happens to massively backfire, peertube does support trusted users being able to bypass moderation-first, I could probably implement that, but of course, I'd rather not.

tomorrow is a completely normal day and there is nothing in my profile that would say any different

The new Steam Subscriber Agreement requires disputes to go to court instead of arbitration. Kinda bizarre, most big companies I've seen try to push the other way.

@Dee@fedi.underscore.world my mind is playing tricks on me, I thought I saw "argon" somewhere in that post

What in the fudge is happening on Twitter right now?

i got new internet at home

@limepeep I still have to check out the whole Firefish situation and explore alternatives, I've just been kinda busy with life lately, but I should have some time open up in the new year... Rest assured that I'll get to it eventually, I don't pay $200+ a month to keep this site afloat for nothing :>

@kodaian Your timing is impeccable

Sometimes, I wish

does anybody want johnmastodon.org
free of charge other than standard domain renewal fees

server migrations have been taking longer than expected due to IRL happening

search database has been wiped and is currently repopulating on the new server

matrix services have been migrated to the new server

firefish migration is not yet scheduled

I'm gonna start pudding-reacting to things on Teams at work. I feel like @puniko@mk.absturztau.be would be proud.
