glad to hear you relate! your site's awesome btw a friend of mine is a huge lisa frankenstein fan and i showed your site to them and they absolutely adored it
depending on when you sign up it takes abt 5-7 days for an email response, unless it *has* been that long
I'm not for sure if it's manual or not, but it seems like it if there's quite a bit of time before confirmation emails are sent out
ytoo.org lists a few status services, some reminiscent of old twitter, but as far as I know ppl use status.cafe the most bcuz of how simple it is and isn't rly another social media site, rather a glorified widget (that allows theme customization if you're willing to code it)
I never realized it was a post from over a year ago w/ the way ppl on my feed were talking abt it, so I'm also wondering who originally brought it up, bcuz even before that it was mentioned by a user on cohost 5 months ago https://cohost.org/nicky/post/5665868-damn-i-should-be-sen
