@altstream.onlineReposted by @bear-den.orgGood morning from us at alt stream, and a huge thank you to everyone who has signed up to give our site a try! As of this morning we have passed 1500 registered users! We couldn't be doing this without all of you!
@altstream.onlineReposted by @bear-den.orgThe site is running extremely stable, we have MistServer running well now too! I'm taking the weekend off doing any code, it's been a few weeks since I had time to just play anything, however if you need us for anything we're still around on socials and the Stoat / Discord. Enjoy streaming! ❤️
@bear-den.orgThey're trying out MistServer (which we recommended) once the migration is done. Should be worlds better than SRS.
@bear-den.orgThis is the beautiful kind of anti-AI advocacy that people can and should be doing. Props to AltStream for incorporating this! ❤️
@bear-den.orgLooking forward to helping them switch out their video back end. That should help immensely as well.
@bear-den.orgAw hey, thank you! We do our best to make sure our clients are happy and feel cared for (in a professional way) and tend to find that other smaller businesses often feel the same way about their customers. It's good to be like that. 💖
@jocat.netReposted by @bear-den.org"this wouldn't have existed without AI anyway, it's not taking away any potential jobs or opportunities" if you do not have the willingness or drive to make something without AI, then it shouldn't exist AI is built off of stolen labor. Want art? Do or fund the labor.
@altstream.onlineReposted by @bear-den.orgMigration still ongoing, we’re currently going through all the security setup first making sure everything is tight before moving our systems across. While that’s been happening, I’ve wrapped up the first iteration of a no auth required public API, It’s being tested currently for stability.
@gendenelith.bsky.socialReposted by @bear-den.orgI've made a Stoat server version of our community Discord server! Because Discord is terrible, and people apparently don't want to go back to IRC and forums for some reason. You can join it here:
@bear-den.orgDon't forget to look at smaller businesses as well for other needs! Bear Den Hosting is a small, LGBTQIA+ friendly hosting service for web, email, cloud, and social media - we'd love to talk to you about what we can do to help you break away from Big Tech!
@bear-den.orgOh lovely; I'll get that email out to you shortly. 💖
@bear-den.orgBeen doing email hosting since 2001 and have a solid reputation associated with the server IP and am more than happy to work with FA on what y'all need; it's a stable service that has 99.9%+ uptime and I personally have 25+ years of IT experience to keep things up and running.
@bear-den.orgI tagged them directly but would like help getting this to Sciggles + FA staff. It's not much but it could wipe out the income loss from dropping third party advertisers, based on their own numbers. Let's keep FA alive if we can!
@bear-den.orgEvery little bit counts and if we can knock that $124/month down (especially if we can get it to $0), that damn near makes up for the loss of third party advertisers itself. Please feel free to reach out here in DMs, or contact Arthfach on Discord or Telegram, or [email protected] on XMPP.
@bear-den.orgHey @furaffinity.net @sciggles.com - I noticed in your post that you are paying $124/month just on email services.
I know it's not a ton, but I'd love to have a conversation with you about providing you email services through Bear Den Hosting at a very reduced cost (or free, depending on needs).
@bear-den.orgDear lord please ask for help! Those of us who can absolutely will; just be transparent about it and you are more than good.
@bear-den.orgMajor Hesgeth is the biggest failure that has come out of the US military in a long, long, long time. I am glad my service was over before he took "command" (and I use that term loosely).

@gendenelith.bsky.socialReposted by @bear-den.orgDecentralization of communication is really the only way to avoid stuff like this happening since any platform that gets this big gets turned into a shareholder-driven techbro mess. Yay capitalism! Seeing as how I mainly belong to old MMO discords I doubt I'll be flagged, but who knows.
@gendenelith.bsky.socialReposted by @bear-den.orgWell the thing that every sane person new was coming is here. Discord is a piece of shit but it's been a pain in the ass to try and drag people kicking and screaming towards using other things like IRC, forums, etc. I sure as shit ain't giving them my data, and I hope you don't either.
