I can’t help but read that name as Warfarin
Same, I can hear Dr House telling Cameron to give a patient warfarin
Wafrn?
Can we admit that the Fediverse has a serious naming problem?It’s based off a joke about Tumblr banning porn and nudity. We Allow Female-presenting Nipples. It makes it memorable and instantly loveable to me, and I think most of the people who lived through the Tumblr porn exodus to Twitter would chuckle.
@gabboman@app.wafrn.net or anyone who might know:
Can Wafrn be used for watch parties / live posting? (I.e. people read & post with a specific hashtag in real time.)
I do that with Mastodon (e.g. #Monsterdon ) but so far others I’ve tried (e.g. Sharkey) can’t do it.
@gabboman@gabboman.xyz AT Protocol (Bluesky’s) integration is usually done through Bridgy, and as I get concerned too many people depending on a single service is depending on a single fail point, went to check WAFRN’s docs.

Bluesky Integration
Wafrn has native Bluesky Integration.
Other Fediverse software has to rely on Bridgy to interact with Bluesky. Wafrn’s native suppot means that we have major advantages over Bridgy(…)
we do have native bluesky support. my handle is @gabboman.xyz and https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:wvlbhx2c2srslifqzdiyaqpt/post/3m7hrnbz3qc2b
What does the name mean?
Last I recalled reading about it, it’s “we allow female representing nipples”.

Oh I see, so it should be WAFPN
Doesn’t sound as good imo.
