@bea that makes sense. all the instances running master have two canonical links for each user, and I guess instances can't make up their mind which to use for mentions?

@bea the "who" problem bothers me more than the "what" problem really

@bea story of my life

(I need to get some art commissioned)

When you're really critically depressed and trying to hold things together, but also trying desperately not to look like that's the case and hoping and worrying if you are, thus becoming more depressed

@JTE Unlisted is sent out to everyone following you like a normal post, it's just kept off the public and local timelines so nobody can find it *that* way.

@JTE Not as simple as that because remote users can take the URL of the post and "search" for it on their instance, bring it up and reply to it. Also if anyone replies without setting local-only the local-only post gets sent out too

@JTE There's one important thing you're missing about federation: Each instance only grabs exactly what it needs from every other instance. Following a dead user doesn't get you everything else they have.

Think of it more as e-mail rather than bitcoin.

@JTE @bea We don't set up followbots because the only thing they're good for is making the federated timeline a fast-moving mess (and pissing others off in the process)

@bea @JTE It's unlikely we'll be running glitch-soc in its current state due to valuing stability, but I was leaving the possibility open of cherry-picking profile metadata over there after extending the bio size

@bea (also, why does that server need to run behind cloudflare?)

@bea I like how if you actually check the accounts that bot is following, the profiles are loaded with [email protected] replacing innocuous japanese text

cloudflare continues to cloudfail

@typhlosion because of this I totally pulled up the old "sounds of sorting" video while at work =w=
