@Ninji silly blue dog, shouldn't you be awooing instead?

@bea have a good sleeps <3

@bea I think ideally they should all open up in right col?

@bea this is all really weird

like, what is even going on on here and what kind of change would cause this to be happening anyway?

@bea I'm just totally befuddled at this point

@bea so like, I'm not sure how to describe this, but

the canonical url seems to have changed to /users/*** at some point in master, so any older posts that use /@*** in a mention stop working properly

and then for some reason, mentions done between two users on the same server have a URL of /@*** despite that not being the canonical URL for everybody else? so it doesn't work properly?

would this be considered a regression I guess?

@bea sorry, just needed an example =p

interestingly *your* mention of @bea linked to egs/users/bea

is it just acting differently for local users mentioning each other?

@bea mentions still seem to be haphazard?

like, let me see, if I mention @soft_chomps I'm pretty sure the URL will be gs/users/soft_chomps...? But when you did it just a couple minutes ago (https://glitch.social/users/bea/updates/60748) the URL was gs/@soft_chomps

... why is it still different??

@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
