Introducing a new major feature for StreetPass: Hiding profiles!
Now you can hide and unhide profiles in your StreetPass list to keep things organized. If you wanna go full Inbox Zero mode, there's also an option to automatically hide profiles when clicked! (ty @prenagha for the great feature suggestion)
Learning that the Mastodon V2 Search API is pretty finicky. Advanced search criteria must be entered in a specific structure or the whole thing goes bonkers.
I understand why people are upset and concerned about #Threads joining the social web. Most of us have been burned, or considerably worse, by #Meta before.
@haubles And even if you want to go "off by default" with Threads as an admin, you can still let users individually decide if they want to touch Threads or not by silencing Threads.
That said, it would be nice if there was a way for users to see why an account or instance is silenced, as a CW. #MastoDev@Mastodon
On the Mastodon Public Roadmap this feature isn't even in the "Planned" section: https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap 😐 (MAS-37 Restrict who can reply to a post)
If you too think this very basic safety feature, one of the most thumbsed-up on the Mastodon issue list, should be a higher priority, go to the Github issue and add your 👍 and a comment to bump it into the devs' awareness: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8565
Oh! Ha! I just discovered that a branch I had kicking around for Mastodon to implement the ability for admins & mods to prevent posting to specific hashtag was actually merged and landed in mainline Mastodon.
#mastodev ce serait possible d'utiliser "ils ou elles" ou iels ?
Déso je chipote probablement mais j'aime pas me taper un "ils boostent" quand majoritairement mes abonnements c'est des femmes (qui plus est trans)
I was in a discussion today with @TechConnectify and @feditips about reply toxicity here, and I've tried to make all of that into a coherent post.
I want to go to #MastoDev with a version of this, but need to let it sit overnight and probably rewrite it. But I also think it's something anyone interested in non-corporate-controlled social media needs to think about, because a fair number of people go "influencers, fuck 'em" and that's... not how I think this needs to be understood. If you don't care about them, fine, but care about their followers who will follow them away.
Because like it or not, if you want to go against corporate-owned social media, you need these people too.
domanda nabba su activitypub perchè faccio prima a chiedere che provare a capirlo dai docs sparsi:
se io postassi un toot con privacy tale che determinato toot possa essere visto solo da @enverdemichelis , i server federati fetcherebbero lo stesso il toot per poi non mostrarlo o non possono proprio fetcharlo?
per capire se la fiducia si deve estendere a chiunque sia capace di sifonare tramite activitypub o solo i server delle persone con le quali avviene la conversazione privata (che sì ok appunto gli admin del server in cui sono io e il server in cui è un'altra persona possono sicuramente vederlo ma non è un problema)
@ex_06@enverdemichelis Cioè dici un toot "privato"? Quelli hanno un URL ma richiedono autenticazione, quindi le persone non citate non dovrebbero mai ricevere il contenuto nemmeno se scoprono l'URL. Le altre istanze federate invece non dovrebbero mai riceverne una copia dalla tua istanza, dato che non ne hanno bisogno. Per ridurre il numero di "copie non autorizzate" aiuta attivare #AuthorizedFetch. https://hub.sunny.garden/2023/06/28/what-does-authorized_fetch-actually-do/
@ex_06@enverdemichelis Ho appena notato un'altra curiosità: quando rispondo con un toot "protetto" a un toot "pubblico", quest'ultimo viene federato da tutte le istanze di chi mi segue. In alcune circostanze ciò potrebbe rivelare quantomeno gli argomenti di cui gli utenti di un'istanza stanno discutendo in "privato". (Per esempio ho visto un'istanza con poche dozzine di utenti attivi dove è facile indovinare che l'unica occorrenza di un certo hashtag è arrivata per causa mia.)
The most recent version of @Mastodon for iOS (2023.14) crashes right away when you want to run it on iOS 16. We kind-of screwed up, a fix is already on its way: We sent it to the App Store-review-process some hours ago and expect it to be approved later today.
We're really sorry for that (the mistake, not the fix!) and would like to apologize for any inconvenience. 🫣🫠
Thanks to everyone who reported it (and to @marcus who fixed it)
Holy smokes! 🫨 It's been FOUR WHOLE YEARS since we launched oslo.town 🎈
I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to all the people that have taken the time to sign up, and especially to those who have stuck around, that post regularly, that tell their friends about oslo.town and - of course - to those who donate their hard-earned cash to keep the site running. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Thinking of how useful I find both being able to follow accounts exclusively on lists and being able to follow hashtags on #Mastodon, but what if we combined the two: being able to follow hashtags (exclusively) on lists? #MastoDev
