schmonz.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Changed default: for newly created instances, disable_inbox_collection is set to true (see snac(8) for more information). The reason is because it seems to be used for harrasing people.
Changed default: for newly created instances, disable_history is set to true (see snac(8) for more information). The reason is because archived history files don't reflect reality after posts are deleted or modified (they always have been an ugly kludge).
Changed default: in previous versions, posts with a scope of unlisted were shown in public pages and RSS feeds. Now, they are no longer shown. If you want to get back to previous behaviour, use a new toggle in the User Settings section (see snac(1) for more information).
New admin configuration option: if the purge_static value is set to true in server.json, each user's static directory is explored and those files there that are no longer attached to any post or referenced anywhere are deleted. See snac(8) for more information about those cases where you may not want to enable this option.
Allow serving files from subdirectories of the static/ subdirectory (contributed by la_ninpre).
Minor tweak to webfinger code to handle Hubzilla's peculiarities.
Fixed a search case where URLs to GotoSocial statuses were misidentified as accounts.
Accounts that follow you are now marked with a thumb-up emoji, because followers are adorable people.
Fixed some account export errors.
Fixed an incorrect hash in post links.
Show an account's location link in the people page, if they have one.
Mastodon API: Fixed hashtags loosing the link after editing a post, minor tweak in access token processing (contributed by trondd555).
Drop usage of PATH_MAX (contributed by sergiodj).
New Polish translation (contributed by kpm).
Updated German and Czech translations (contributed by zen and pmjv).

Looks like it has basic Markdown -> HTML converting. Neat.
forme.
🙂into emoji, which I don't like, though. Leave my #emoticons alone ;)And of course, no post or poll length limit :)
#moving my fediverse home to my domain using #snac. If I disappear from your timeline, maybe we got some errors, so feel free to find me at @michel@recondo.com.br
Thanks @stefano , for the excellent community that you created and I will still be around :)
Also I think it would be even cooler if it was a CGI binary#snac is not a native CGI program, but it supports FastCGI. With a bit of work, it can be set up to behave as pure CGI. More information:

Because snac2 is a standalone daemon and does not natively speak FastCGIThis is incorrect; #snac does speak FastCGI natively. You can set it up on OpenBSD without the need of relayd.
See the snac(8) manpage for more information.
I sincerely love you weirdos. <3

Edit: added transparency to image. Scratch that, GtS seems to not like transparency in AVIF, so I restored the original and uploaded a black background variant as well
Great news, you can now post a picture to https://subversive.pics interactively from your favorite internet browser!
You can achieve this by making a picture post inside the fediverse and tagging @subversive_pics (this works with snac, lemmy, mastodon, but not all of its forks, your mileage may vary)
If your picture makes it past the horp censors, your picture will appear on the subversive.pics website and the rss feed!
Incredible.
At times there have been over a half million message objects in my snac profile directory. Snac has always handled it like a champ.
#snac ... Snac's Not A Crappie.

I come out to see that the marvelous @lisamelton@mastodon.social gave it a boost! Thank you Lisa!
Then I went to check on my VPS and it is showing:
load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.05
New #snac instance survived a Lisa boost. Yay! (Lisa Melton Boost Certified)
If you really believe in the silly 500 character limit, then why the heck is everyone posting "3/12" continuation threads?
Either the limit is a good idea, and nobody should post multi-part toots, or its a dumb idea, and should be retired (in favor of a ~6k post limit). One or the other. Cut the crap, already.
I'd 100x rather see long posts shortened with a "See more" button than yet another toot that ends with "1/" 🤦🏻♂️
Forcing people to create threads just to get their thought across is terrible UX, and I'm tired of being diplomatic about it.

Edit: I forgot, it's 500, not 250. I was probably thinking of Twitter, which went from 140 to 280, and now who even knows. XD

@Paulatics I heard lots of stories about servers with bad moderators, both ones that ignore abuse complaints and ones where the mods were abusive, so I decided to run my own.
Had #snac (fediverse software) been around when I started, I’d already be on it - it’s super simple to set up. I’ll move to snac from Akkoma some time soon.
