Hi folks, as you may have heard, many federated services are being targeted by trolls spamming incredibly illegal and incredibly harmful content. In response, loungerat will be taken offline within 24hrs.

This is a hobby for me, and I don't have the time or energy to actively patrol federation logs for illegal content so I'm making the decision to go offline. Possibly not permanently, but until moderation tools improve I refuse to risk getting caught up in unintentionally hosting illegal content.

Thanks for posting here with me, folks 💜

It's so hot I'm drinking from the hose

Waiting for confirmation that the emoji xss attack has been fully validated then I'll get around to bringing back todd and whatever you gamers can think of

With some helpful help from my friends here, we think that we've been able to figure out what our federation issue was. We're also on lemmy 0.18.1 now

rc9 looks like it's gonna bring some fixes to the federation issues that we've been seeing on 0.18.0

lemmy.world is my reference instance, and they've had good results with rc7

Plan for an arbitrary downtime of a couple minutes later today

Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there. Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and be halfway to Hammerfell. You there. You and me - we shouldn't be here. It's these Stormcloaks the Empire wants. We're all brothers and sisters in binds now, thief. Shut up back there! And what's wrong with him, huh? Watch your tongue. You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King. Ulfric? The Jarl of Windhelm? You're the leader of the rebellion. But if they've captured you... Oh gods, where are they taking us? I don't know where we're going, but Sovngarde awaits. No, this can't be happening. This isn't happening. Hey, what village are you from, horse thief? Why do you care? A Nord's last thoughts should be of home. Rorikstead. I'm... I'm from Rorikstead. ...looks like the Thalmor are with him. General Tullius, sir. The headsman is waiting. Good. Let's get this over with! Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines, please help me. Look at him. General Tullius the Military Governor. And it looks like the Thalmor are with him. Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this. Why are we stopping? Why do you think? End of the line. Let's go. Shouldn't keep the gods waiting for us.

i wish computer graphics still looked this good
