A neat feature of the latest Mastodon 3.2.0 release is the ability to add personal notes to profiles.
These can be used for any note such as personal details you'd like to remember, additional info that isn't in their profile, or any bit of text you like.
These notes are only visible to you.
Do you like what someone you follow says but not what they share?
There's an option to hide their boosts in the options menu!

Actually, we've been learning the recent outages don't have anything to do with our hosting provider at all, and is actually a larger problem with Cloudflare leading to connectivity problems all over the internet.
We still apologize for any issues you may have accessing .ART! Let us or @mastohost know if it gets worse.

For our new users who may be unfamiliar with how we handle problematic accounts, here is the official policy:
Actions start with the user and escalate from there:
1. Always report problematic toots and accounts
2. Users can also block accounts if they simply wish not to see its toots or interact with the account-holder
3. Users can block entire instances for similar reasons
4. If an instance causes problems for numerous Socel users, then the instance will be blocked at the admin level.
Hello Everyone,
If you have friends that are interested in joining, you can send them an invite link directly so that they can sign up without having to fill in the form on the front page.
This is handy since the review system we have in place to combat spam means accounts can take a few hours before they are approved.
You can generate invites under the 'Invite People' tab in the preferences area.

HI folks,
I may be a little slow responding to requests, account approvals, etc. for the next couple of days.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Exciting news!
Socel is now listed on joinmastodon.org under the 'Art' category :ablobattention:
And now it is lunchtime 😋
A few changes to be aware of now that the instance has been moved.
We are now hosted by @mastohost and as such, obey their terms of service which can be found here: https://masto.host/tos/
The server location has also moved from the USA to the EU (in France). This should not ever become an issue, but please be aware that French and EU law is not the same as American law.
All other aspects of the community will remain the same as before.
The move is almost complete.
Some media files may be absent for the next couple of hours as those files transfer over, but all access and feeds should be restored. Uploads should also work.
Please reach out if you have any issues at all.
