Just a reminder to everyone that #Nestle wants to own the rain, and have taken it as far as when once getting approval by a township to collect rain/groundwater to resell, they threatened to SUE residents of that township if they collected their own rainwater, because Nestle said it belonged to them.
THE RAIN. THEY THINK THEY OWN THE RAIN.

About
Having been on Fedi for some time (since 2017) and jumping across various platforms and taking some time off on occasion, I am back with an Akkoma instance. Quiescent Cafe is my comfy space; quiet and chill, a place to talk about interests and the good things in life.
Automatically included with the Akkoma sign-up is an XMPP account with Matrix gateway. See the Server Info below for more details.
Registering
Your account will need to be approved by an admin, so read the other guidelines and rules to ensure this is a suitable space before signing up.
Donations
To ensure this continues to exist, donations can be made to help cover the hosting and associated expenses like domain renewal and backups.
Either of the one off or recurring donation options are appreciated. It says swansinflight as it uses the same account as my photography.
Moderators and Bus-Factor
At the moment this is just me. If it grows beyond more than several users, Moderators will chosen from the member base. If I get hit by a bus or otherwise disappear, this will keep running for approximately a month until hosting isn't paid, realistically more than a month as I keep the account in credit. My wife will have all the details to log in and inform local users of their options, whether that is taking over the server or migrating to another instance.
Rules
- Don't be a dick.
- Treat others as you would have them treat you.
If I have to elaborate more than this, or boundaries are attempted to be pushed, then this is not the place for you. Anyone signing up here should be an adult, and capable of making adult decisions. If I have to make a decision, then my decision is final. This server is not a democracy.
Server Info
Akkoma
This Akkoma instance is hosted on Linode in Australia. At the moment it is on a small VPS, but based on donation viability I am more than happy to scale it up as required.
XMPP
A Prosody instance is running on the same server.
Previously it authenticated against Akkoma, and I would like to get that working again since changing back from ejabberd to Prosody. But in the mean time simply request and I will create an xmpp account for you. There is no web client associated, you will need to install an app. I recommend Gajim for Linux and Windows, and Monocles Chat or Conversations on Android. iOS seems a bit hit and miss, but have heard Monal is okay. There a plenty of other options, but I have found these the most solid.
