Was not able to log in for a while, thought my blog was deleted.

I was not able to log in, I thought my blog was deleted w/o a warning. Checked later, everything came back to a state like before, nothing gone so far. Anyway, such situations should be avoided when possible, no matter what it was. Updates, deleting blogs w/o a warning, site/hosting/etc bugs, other disruptions including site suddenly not connecting after first page load, etc. At least a warning should be given one way or another to the user and some time/a way/etc for the user to correct anything found would be needed, making sure updates are as minimally disruptive as possible, also not forgetting to fix the site infrastructure including network w/o causing annoyance to the users when possible. As sudden connection drops are extremely annoying, not mentioning site bugs, it may cause an impact to users health,  which might not always end good. I was in a shock for a while until I found that everything was restored later which was not pleasant experience. By avoiding such situations everyone's life would be better, and less unexpected things may happen. Also when I was writing on another site my hand was trembling for a while, and was still pissed off a bit because of that. Read More »

To all people sharing content bordering on CP or any doubtful legality

Like "Deltakappa10" or others like them

 

 

GET THE FUCK OUT. 

YOU. ARE. NOT. WELCOME. HERE. 

 

Sincerely, 

Most of us, who were here since many years, and even before that. Back on the Soup.io

 

 

This was supposed to be a safe space for us all. Kind and fragile souls. Some of us who suffered abuse. Physical, mental or sexual alike. 

I don't feel safe here. Not anymore. 

 

I'd like to everyone sharing my concerns to repost that. 

Thank you.

Loforo just broke today

The site was misbehaving for a while. Blog header would show no post/following/etc. count and only 0 followers on the header, while follower page would list all followers w/o problem. A moment before the blog icons/links/etc. would be broken too :\

Edit: Follower count with post/follow/etc. count later came back. Probably site was misbehaving for a while.

Bugs, Bugs everywhere

Loforo is too buggy... Connection issues when page has too many videos, broken layout in some places e.g. on posts with an embed, automatic scrolling not working in tag pages, some tag pages have only one or a few posts while next page might have more, can't switch blog using mouse as menu closes when trying to do that, some occasionally broken images in places, can't drag images to reposition them while using editor, can't insert a new paragraph after image, can't use browser context menu in editor, etc.

Transversing the Fediverse

Today I discovered Loforo while browsing my feed on Mastodon. It seems like destiny because I was listening to a podcast about WordPress newstoday. I also tried Tumblr years ago. Bluesky and Friendica on mobile looks horrible, in regards to formatting.

Anyway I love the Fediverse, Linux, and open source not only because of choice but also data privacy. I can enjoy Caturday, SilentSunday or just browse photos from all over the world. I've met people who have thousands of Bluesky/Threaders followers and people like me who lurk and comment.

Loforo works well enough so far. Hopefully my Nadirah will find this one day.  Read More »


I've noticed that blocked people can still follow you. That shouldn't even be a thing. 

 

Now there are people from the recent "doubtful" (to say the least) content that started to follow out of spite and continuing their "patronising" messages under our posts, yet they are still allowed to remain as followers, despite blocking them. I suggest that something should be done with that. Hopefully it's just only a visual bug, but it's still something to be of concern and worth looking into it.
