Tulsa Social @TulsaSocial@social.tulsa.ok.us

Ready to jump in? Start with an #introduction!

A couple good apps to try, both available on @fdroidorg right now:

@AndStatus - Fantastic offline support, though somewhat limited on offline support.

@fedilab@toot.fedilab.app - Very fully featured and well polished app, great for folks with reliable data coming from other networks

When you're first getting started, it's a good idea to check the "Other" section in Preferences, and select the languages of posts you want to read.

Search engine indexing is also disabled by default, if you wish to opt in to indexing, you can set here as well.

While you're there, might consider checking your notification settings as well. By default, we don't email you very much at all.

Updated the rules a little to allow people from #GreenCountry plus the adjacent areas in #Oklahoma, #Arkansas, #Missouri and #Kansas.

Hmm, someone signing up with a throwaway gmail account from the 92.204.163.64/30 netblock with a whois going back to an apartment block in Moscow.

I'm going to click on....decline. #MastoAdmin

Feeling like the timeline and followers are more than sufficiently primed now, so dropping the louder relays and keeping the smaller, more relevant ones.

That said, wouldn't mind joining a relay of other regional instances.

Toned down the large relays.

Kinda feeling like two of them were entirely too much noise and not enough signal.

Please feel free to report #COVID19 misinformation and conspiracy theories.🚮

I think our Sidekiq queue is caught up after this week's massive traffic spree.

Remember, mask requirement starts tonight at 9PM within Tulsa City limits. #Tulsa #Oklahoma

This didn't get advertised very well, and announced with less than an hour's notice. There's a curfew in place for downtown Tulsa from 22:00-06:00 tonight and Friday night.

There are now only 44 PSO parcels without power. Looks like 11:30 PM was pretty accurate for getting this resolved, and almost everyone should have the lights, if not air, back on at this point.

About 6000 parcels, mostly in metro #Tulsa, are still without power. There are also smaller outages in #Grove and #Lawton now. ETA is still about 11:30PM.

There was a power surge in the transmission lines affecting Public Service Company of #Oklahoma. Currently affecting >19,000 households in #GreenCountry, and <5 in #Hydro.

PSO is expecting electricity service to be restored to all areas around 11:30 PM.

All of #Tulsa south of 51st Street lost power, PSO is aware.

Still growing here! Ask a current member for an invite or make it obvious you're local in your application and you're in. #Tulsa #Oklahoma #Meta
