This Norwegian Mastodon server is an unofficial meeting place for University of Oslo people, and more!

We’re møving!

We’re moving to https://mastodon.Babb.no. In a few months we’ll shut this server down.

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.

The name "babb.be" 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". Unfortunately, babb.no wasn't available, so the only one was .be. 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 Server Covenant

We adhere 100% to the Mastodon Server Covenant. No racism, gender discrimination or anti-semitism will be tolerated.

We have daily backups, and @Gaelle has also access to the server infrastructure in case of emergency.

Transparency

This server runs on a kubernetes cluster with 6 nodes, 3 masters and 3 workers. Each machine has 14gb ram, but we might upgrade them accordingly should there be need for that.
