current task: where the fuck does the glitch-soc code actually determine if a post is local only

code 

oh ok, in app/models/status.rb:

'''
before_create :set_locality
'''

and then in there

'''
def set_locality
if account.domain.nil? && !attribute_changed?(:local_only)
self.local_only = marked_local_only?
end
end
'''

and a couple paragraphs above that:

'''
def marked_local_only?
# match both with and without U+FE0F (the emoji variation selector)
/#{local_only_emoji}\ufe0f?\z/.match?(content)
end

def local_only_emoji
'👁'
end
'''

re: code 

it gets invoked when an ActiveRecord is saved

@starfall feel silly for not looking in the fucking model for a status

@aescling i mean, that's not where we'd have expected it either

mostly due to our experience with enterprise java, which tries to be as non-object-oriented as possible

@starfall yeah it does feel like code i would put in a service layer

@aescling and that is why i say very few people are writing object-oriented java in practice, it's just remote procedure calls with objects that ought as well be structs

interesting differences from what we learned at uni lol

@aescling it figures it out by whether the last character is 👁️

i have to write some more character after that, for obvious reasons

@monorail that’s what i understood, but i cannot yet find where it actually does this in the codebase

@monorail oh my god it’s in the model definition for a status. lol

re: why is that not code blocks 

@aescling backticks ` make code blocks

also maybe tildes?

not sure but if this follows commonmark spec it should
