I was SO disappointed when these weren’t affected by muddle bud.

I love doing this as an adult; tho not a tidal wave. The motion of the water gives a mild sensory deprivation affect for a second.

“we are just looking out for ourselves in a ‘better safe than sorry’ fashion while we find out more.”

This is an unfortunate aspect of individuals/small groups housing the fediverse vs big companies. Big companies have lawyers and the capital to back them, individuals do not.

If I was in your shoes, I’d do the same thing. I appreciate your wish for thus to be temporary. I hope you will share your findings once you come to a final decision; information like this is relevant to all those managing servers.

Man… my little ponies don’t kid around when it comes to placing pixels!

Thank you for creating it! Honestly, I enjoyed this one more than r/place.

I just wanted to share this community with you since you said you liked learning new words.

Explain.

Thank you. Good to be caught up on Fediverse history.

You and your family come first. I really appreciate all you do to make this instance available and work, but if this ever becomes a burden rather than a pleasure, I truly hope you will step away.

Dare I ask about the 3-days-no-shit guy?

Well, Montpelier does desperately need its plumbing updated, but this was a state wide occurrence. We’ve had nearly a month of straight rain, then Sunday night into Monday night SUPER heavy downpours. The ground is so saturated and the waterways/rivers/dams so full, there was no place else for water to go.

Close for Vermont, except it wouldn’t be so well maintained and it needs a few witch windows.

Firstly… thank you thank you thank you for being such a good cat parent!

Cats are super finicky; mine would only drink from a wide casserole dish, because his whiskers brush against the sides of all other bowls/fountains. Some cats don’t like stainless steel bowls (possibly the way the water edge blends with the steel side?); figures since it’s healthier for them. Is the shape of the bowl itself or the way water flows different? Does it have a different filter compared to the previous fountain?

If none of those are the case, you could try running the new fountain for 24hrs to see if the water flow helps wash away any lingering funky factory smells.

You could also try a more gradual transition; kitties get fussier as they get older, even if he is still technically young. Perhaps turn the old fountain off, but leave it beside the new fountain (both with water) and see what he goes to. Then eventually keep the water out of the old fountain, but leave it beside the new one so aid in comfort and guidance.

Also, keeping the water away from their food is recommended.

Over all, I wouldn’t let your kitty go without water for more than 24hrs. If he still won’t shift over to the new bowl, you can always try switching the old fountain component out for the new one, or buy a fountain component replacement online.

I agree that would be nice. Hopefully it is something that will eventually get added as a possibility, but I don’t know enough about the background workings to say if it is being considered or not.

If I understand the fediverse correctly, if the instance dies (meaning all the background servers are taken away), everything on that instance is gone; accounts, communities, posts, comments. Since the instance is the host, they are the ones holding the data; if they decide to stop, it’s gone.

However, the creator of the community and its members could create new accounts on another instance to rebuild the community.

It’s not so much being the “product” that bothers me, as it is the whipping-horse manipulation to force us to give more more more with while they give less less less.
