Features

The initial version of our local user guide for Chinwag Social, our Mastodon instance, is now live.

From this week, we will be getting very strict about the standards of services we federate with. Invalid or expired certificates will no longer be accepted and support for some older encryption standards will be dropped.

A few updates, and some new features have been added to the Chinwag stable. Here’s an updated list of everything we have running right now.

About two months ago, there was a big buzz that built up around Mastodon, a decentralised social network.

On a testing basis, to see if it’s useful to anyone, I’ve enabled an IRC gateway.

We’re still quite a long way from the slick, integrated experience I’ve got in mind as a long-term goal, but as of now there’s a really simple page you can go to for quick access to the Lobby and any other chat rooms you might want to create or use.
