For anyone who signed up recently and experienced long delays in getting their accounts confirmed, that was due to me dealing with a lot of real life stuff right about the time that the BlueSky exodus was happening.
Everyone should be confirmed now but if you did not get a confirmation email please DM me. I am once again at the helm of this rickety beige boat and we are still accepting new sign ups.

Alt Text: Avi is the head of a rooster with a velociraptor's face instead of a beak, seen in profile and looking majestic af. The header is a hilariously inaccurate 19th-century woodcut depicting an iguanodon and a megalosaurus as big lumbering quadrapedal lizards biting each other. Neither of them seems bothered by this, in fact they both are sporting big goofy toothy grins.

A lot of people have asked me what the name "Beige Party" means. I now present the definitive explanation:


This is a test


*listening to Cambodian psychedelic rock from the 60s and early 70s*
Wow this stuff is really great!
*googles the artists for more information*
oh no
Hello! Welcome to the Fediverse! Please be cool. Please. I am begging you. Just. Be. Cool.
Emoluments clause? In this constitutional crisis??
THIS IS ANOTHER TEST!
Ok, I think I've got a fix for our poll problem. Long story short, it's not a bug in the Mastodon code and entirely a result of me having no idea what I'm doing. I recently moved the Sidekiq services to their own server and I forgot to increase the max poll options there as well, which lead to this weird behavior where only local votes got counted for polls with over 4 options.
So, as before, please vote, especially if you are outside of Beige Party so I can test if the fix is working. Thank you!
So, who are your Guys?
THIS IS A TEST!
This is a test of the polling system. Please vote, especially if you are outside of beige.party. I'm trying to prove a theory that since v4.3.4 polls with more than 4 options only record votes from the local instance.
Who's your #1 muse?
