Just a quick PSA:

If you need to block, mute, or report a user, simply click on their username and when their profile comes up, you'll find these options under the the three little dots next to their follower count. You can also hide all users from the instance if necessary.

Aaaaaaand we're back!

Socel will be updated to the latest Mastodon version 2.5 in the next few minutes so there may be a bit of downtime.

Another update will be posted when complete.

Did you know that Socel has multiple themes?

Just look under the gear icon then preferences and you can select from multiple appearance settings to suit you!

Here is the light theme.

Home timelines may need time to re-populate though.
