Long description
About this server
This is a Norwegian mastodon instance and safe haven for social exchange between tech people from the University of Oslo, Norway. Despite that, this site has no affiliation nor it belongs to the University of Oslo.
It is also opened for other tech people and/or friends from around the world, but we have restrictions to posts in other languages (check our rules).
The name "babb" is because of the love for good kebabs that we share at USIT (University Center for Information Technology at the University of Oslo. On our team, we call them affectionally "babb".
It came to us that "babbe" is used pejoratively for immigrants in Sweden - which is kinda ironic, since the admin of this site has indeed and proudly, a foreign background.
Mastodon.oslo.no
