Just a quick notice in light of Twitter's announcement today.
Socel exists to foster relationships within the animation and wider artistic community. Charging for access in ANY way grievously undermines the foundations of any community & Twitter is no exception.
Socel (as part of the fediverse) exists to counter such crass exploitation of individuals.
If you hear of Twitter users looking for an alternative, please create an invite & share it with them or direct them to https://joinmastodon.org/
🎉 Welcome to newcomers! 🎉
A few personal tips:
👌 the Fediverse is NOT twitt*r! enjoy a more relaxed, courteous, benevolent way of interacting! you are part of it!
🤚 introduce yourself! also fill bio and post a couple "toots" before following people to have more chance they'll follow back..
👍 favourite and follow generously! This is how to create link around. No algorithm-god is spying on you, telling you who to follow, what to read! \o/
⚠️ many people care about CW... learn about that
💗
Welcome new users! My goodness there's a lot!

We've had more than a few signups recently that mention being invited by a friend.
Unfortunately, they are hard to distinguish from spam.
If you have a friend you would like to invite, please use the invite people function which you can find here: https://socel.net/invites
This will ensure invitees can complete the signup process.
Thanks everyone

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.
Hello, my lovely Masto.ARTists!

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.
Krita.org needs #krita artists to interview! Teens, kids, and people making animations especially invited.
