It finally happened: Twitter changed the domain to x.com. Twitter.com is no more.

#Smithereen is about to become GDPR compliant 😅

I like my approach with deactivation period better than what others do. For example, @pixelfed deletes accounts immediately and it turns out people change their minds on this stuff sometimes.

#Smithereen 0.6 is out! 🎉

And with it, the complete federation feature parity with Mastodon. New features include:

• Direct messages
• Privacy settings
• Followers-only posts (from other servers)

Here's an unpopular opinion: Google is outstandingly terrible as the maintainer of Android. Android needs to become a separate entity, preferably a nonprofit, and preferably run by someone who has strong opinions.

Dear websites, there's exactly zero cases when I would like to download a PDF instead of viewing it in the browser. Don't do it. Just don't.

(if I'll ever make my own web browser, it would intentionally lack support for the Content-Disposition header)

Apple is in its "fuck around" phase with the EU right now. Can't wait for the "find out". It's gonna be gorgeous.

I want an opinion. If you have a rule to not allow signups with some email domain, would you expect it to also apply to signup requests, when your server is in manual-approval mode?

Overall, how satisfied are you with these random popups in various Google products asking you how satisfied you are?

Working on private messages in #Smithereen and I'm wondering how much sense CWs make for them. From Mastodon's PoV, "private messages" are just posts. They thus share all the same properties. In my implementation, however, messages are distinct from posts, both in the UI and in the database. In my UI I don't have anywhere to display that content warning as a spoiler without it being super awkward. I can use it as a subject line however 🤔

Any thoughts?

Is there an #ActivityPub server where I need to parse HTML for <link type="application/activity+json" href="..."/> to get to the JSON representation of an object? I want to add support for this in #Smithereen but I need something to test against.

Are there any #ActivityPub servers that implement read receipts for direct messages, or is this something I'll have to do myself?

#Smithereen 0.7 is out, finally making it practical to run a server with open signups.

This release brings too many changes to list here, both internal and external.

• All-new moderation tools: role-based permissions, revamped reports, new ways of limiting user accounts, and so much more!
• All-new media storage: Smithereen now keeps track of references to files, simplifying the code, and adds support for S3 object storage.
• Tens of minor bug fixes and UX improvements.

Can anyone recommend a free, preferably open-source, stock-looking launcher for Android that has usable pages on both sides of the main page? Like it used to be before Google Now was introduced (which was wonderful until someone totally ruined it with news to get promoted).

Are there any ActivityPub servers that implement and federate presence statuses for actors (online/offline)?

Please, stop calling Twitter "X". There's no such thing as "X", it's still Twitter, has always been, will always be. You can't call things single-letter names even when their stupid CEO insists you do.

After all these years, #Smithereen finally has this remote interaction thingy when you click a like or share button while logged out.

Proper support for reposts in #Smithereen, finally!

I'm getting better at drawing pixel-perfect SVG icons. Yes, I disable antialiasing for some of my SVGs so they look crisp on non-retina displays.

Mention autocomplete in #Smithereen (desktop only).

So, #Smithereen no longer requires a username when signing up. You instead get assigned one automatically, of the form "idXXX" where XXX is the ID for your user record. You can change it later in settings if you wish. Current Mastodon versions handle this change no problem.

The username is only visible in two places:

• The URL of your profile
• When someone mentions you
  So it's not very important. Definitely not important enough to be a required field when you register.
