No it was a repeated upload of literal white noise images. Not even posts, just files uploaded.

Probably around 300 USD a month

With the new forum feature of discord this might not be a bad idea.

Let me know if you’ll follow through. I’d probably join.

Not really. I could host this in a more robust place but the costs would be prohibitive.

Of course, you could let everyone know where you’re going. I might follow too. There’s some talk in this post about a discord server.

Nevermind, looks like this was fixed in v0.18.1 because after upgrading it works fine.

My current philosophy with this community is to let it live and self-regulate. I only want to poke at it when things (start to) feel off.

So if threads federates properly and people make use of this functionality then I see no problem with that. So far I haven’t blocked any federation. The only blocks in place are technical ones to figure off some spam bots.

This way of thinking won’t scale properly, but my goals aren’t to create the next big social media platform. The goal is as stated in the tagline of this instance: a home for musically minded people. Anything that harms that goal will be dealt with, anything that supports that goal will be welcomed with open arms.

So only if it becomes a problem and people complain about this problem will I enforce a technical limitation.
