I'm glad you had the same experience! Social anxiety is not something we can get rid of that quickly, but I think it did get a little easier with each day. Just slowly realizing: huh, all these people actually don't want to hurt me? How weird! :3
Not as far as I can tell. My friend on .art can see my posts from pawb.social, so it's probably not blocked from that side, and I can't find anything about .art being blocked on the pawb.social admin log (that seems unlikely anyway).
So for some reason, replies from some instances (like meow.social) show up on here on pawb.social, while others (like from mastodon.art) don't, and I can't figure out why ๐ค

Aww okay. I'd love that, it's been... a while!
Helloooo! <3 Will you be at EF too? ๐
And what i I reply here?
Aww thank you, I'm glad you've found it interesting! I think what made it such a good experience in the end is that most of the "downs" were just of the organizational kind - like missed events and queues - while the social experience was almost entirely positive. I hope it'll be the same for you next year! :3
