@aescling i have had absolutely nothing to do here thus far

i mean i plan on auditing the instances we are federating with in a day or two but at the moment our posts are mostly only reaching the eyes of the followers of the 4 people on this server, all of whom are cool

@aescling oh yeah definitely

thing is i’m actually thinking of applying to a place which primarily does Ruby/Rails so refreshing myself on it is pertinent to my professional goals

@aescling in glitchsoc it’s in the app settings under General > Notifications options

@aescling if mastodon doesn’t want me mucking around with it then it should simply be a good software

@aescling well it bothers me lol

@aescling easy enough to just make the request yourself

@aescling ah, baby is growing up 🥺

@aescling yes

@aescling (the icon is added to the SHOW MORE button)

@aescling no, glitchsoc adds icons to indicate whether a toot with a CW has attached media, since it places the media inside the CW

@aescling that's why we don't have any atm lol

if you find a source lmk

@aescling same but the way to address that is to progressively swap out the bad stuff with good stuff not to try a complete rewrite from square one

@aescling there are two kinds of indie activitypub servers: ones with worse features than mastodon, and ones which won't ever be finished

@aescling once you actually get your hands dirty with mastodev you realize how many pieces are there and how much work it takes to get a similar product which isn't even as good and i think you cool on the idea of wanting to rewrite mastodon from scratch
