no way discord going "we're still doing the thing you hate but we want you to hate it a little less" actually worked. fym "we won"???? we won a couple months of not worrying about it and that's it 😭😭😭
all they really want is for you to forget this even happened until it starts back up again.
can't even blame people for not knowing it, either. Bluesky does a terrible job with telling you when registering. Give a list of known trusted PDS' to use! Don't just tell people they're registering on Bluesky's server LMAO
Bluesky is open source and federated.
Just thought people might need that reminder, considering the amount of people who think their data is at risk because there's no monetisation plan for here.
where did the title for this one go 😭
The more I use the official front-end the more I feel as if it's entirely AI generated. It shouldn't be this hard to make a "Ask for new email -> Confirm your old email -> Confirm your new email -> Re-authenticate -> Congrats! It's changed! Good job!" flow.
Bluesky makes it so easy to change your email. They'll send you 4 emails with incorrect codes in them, and then say that *you* are doing too many attempts. Clearly the issue is that I'm trying to change an email in the first place - silly me, I forgot being secure is a vanity. I give the UX a 10/10.
I've gone ahead and made this a task. I'm not sure if you're okay with linking to Bluesky as I got a notice about requiring sign ins, so I'll leave that private to collaborators for now (unless you don't mind)
It'll be tracked here: work.wildhq.org/T30
Packbase (or Wildbase as a whole) isn't going to be something I put on there. I feel like It was doomed from the start being furry focused and calling Twitter and Xhitter LOL.
I'm in a """fortunate""" enough spot experience-wise to take that hit.
Yeah, looking back at it now I should've called it differently. It's only labelled as something like that as Wildbase itself is a business (sole trader, though). The stat was there mostly to ensure people that my very very tiny team and I aren't going in completely blind.
It's been donation driven since the start, positive revenue is basically impossible which I'm fully fine with. It was there mostly for transparency, I planned on detailing it further with how we're spending people's donations as that's something I personally like as well! I'll plan on rewriting it.
The "External Partners" is mostly friends in the field who solely provide some guidance support and nothing else. They have no control over Packbase what so ever, nor do we owe them anything at any time.
(Albeit, last month is particularly high as we onboarded a few volunteers which has an upfront cost that im willing to cover. Our normal running cost is ~$80 but it doesn't communicate that properly. Again, I don't give a damn it's in the red, im doing this because i want a less shit place as well.)
Which browser settings is it ignoring? There's been a few reports with it disregarding motion settings, but I can look into fixing others as well. The leaderboard is just for fun, but I'll probably hide it as an easter egg.
I'll fund Packbase till the day I die, no matter how deep it goes.
Got send this
I'm off for now but tracking it here: work.wildhq.org/T29
Given the recent news with Discord and others, I'll be focusing a bit on polishing up @packbase.app to use more often (hopefully daily). I should've done it a while ago, but oh well.
I don't know if there'll be any "new" features for February as we'd like for FurAffinity importing soon.
(e.g., Your profile picture/refs are completely fine. The acts itself should be marked as R18.)
You're more than welcome to use Packbase and link to an external site on content that may not fit under our rules. I.e. to E6/FurAffinity/etc. Soon, rendering NSFW links will be a privacy setting.
> actual babyfur probably not
If the content itself doesn't depict - without a doubt - a child/cub, it's allowed. Content that depicts the fetish/kink itself needs to be R18.
If you *really* want, I can say yes/no to examples. This isn't a rule anyone's "tested" yet.
> cub definitely not
Correct.
(I just realised the document wasn't public to signed-out users, sorry about that. Fixed.)
If people hate decisions I make, there's voting processes in place: work.wildhq.org/w/wbwork/han...
No examples of this system is available as we, thankfully, never had to use it yet.
(that, and there's also social media regulations we have to tightly follow.)
All this content is considered mature - posting it will force your account into R18 mode until you delete all R18 howls. Glancing at *your* content, it'll adhere to our terms just fine as long as it's marked as R18.
I didn't even realise when I responded LOL.
But; while I personally dislike the content, It's allowed on Packbase for as long as it depicts an adult - cub (or "little") content isn't allowed. I know this goes against a lot of this community, but it's not something that will change anytime soon.
I lied
can someone draw the mental gymnastics someone has to do to correlate Expo Go - a development tool - to a database leak?
I feel so bad for you gulpr devs
Ok good night for real this time
old man yells at cloud rambling over, goodnight
like, shit, Packbase is arguably a lot smaller, yet our servers were hit with 271.08k non-bot requests in the past 24 hours.
I've hosted shit on a cheap digitalocean VPS before, that shit can't keep up without getting expensive, especially when they only take USD. Conversion rates are a thing, too!
"put it on a cheap vps i've done that before, not hard stupid!!"
your static personal site or image gallery that can be entirely put on a CDN =/= a live site that has to handle thousands of reqs from a wildly different locations at a time, while maintaining constant connections for chats. begone.
no idea why this pissed me off so much. maybe because I've been in their spot before, idk.
if the devs are reading this can you DM pls ty ribbon emoji flushed emoji heart emoji
To those who bullied that new site asking for money until they shut down:
Y'all are stupid and should feed bad. Maybe some of you are spoiled without realising it, but live-service sites cost a *lot* of money. God forbid they ask for some help or to be paid for their time??? Hello?????
