@Gargron @seindal @Mastodon more precisely, if the gap popped out from behind the top edge of the screen, it will load above, otherwise it will load below.

So I made a macOS thing. It's a fidget spinner, but with a twist.

Made possible thanks to @samhenrigold posting about his own experiments with these private APIs.

@arstechnica this is a dead end. Michael Levin's research makes all these tumor-destroying therapies look like stone age technology.

I made a FEP for an important part of my groups implementation: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/db0e/fep-db0e.md

#ActivityPub #mastodev

@mikedev @silverpill actually, Smithereen has private (invite-only) and closed (manual approval + invites) groups, and I do have an authentication/permission mechanism to go on top of FEP-400e, what I called "actor tokens". I have it documented here: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen/blob/master/FEDERATION.md#access-control-in-non-public-groups

Never made it a FEP because I thought that the whole FEP process was dead. Should I make one?

Proper support for reposts in #Smithereen, finally!

Quote-reposts now also work. Though I feel like with the number of things I changed to make it happen, I inevitably broke something else 🙈

Since reposts/boosts are now stored as actual posts, albeit with a bunch of special-case handling in many places, they now appear in profiles too.

Smithereen's native type of repost will be the "quote-post", the one that creates its own separate comment thread. All this is specifically for compatibility with the rest of the fediverse predominantly using the Announce activity for reposting.

@aral @smallcircles @pixelfed there is an admin option to immediately delete a deactivated/suspended account

#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.

#activitypub

Wrote a tutorial article in Russian on building a bare minimum #ActivityPub server from scratch:

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