finally following up on this…

Here is the list of problems that our instance has identified with the Mastodon 4.0 upgrade, and how much work I think it will take to address these issues. I think we will probably want to fix all the things which aren’t labelled “Hard” before we merge in the latest changes here.

Comments welcome!

poll that i'm intentionally doing here and not @MindmeshLink

do you identify yourself as "disabled" primarily *to other people* in any context

like, not just saying *what disability* you have, ie "depressed", but do you tell other people "i'm disabled" or put "disabled" or "cripple" or any variant of it in your bios online

i am not asking "are you disabled and do you identify at all with the concept of disability" to be clear, this is a social phenomenon wondering, and nondisabled people are included and should say "never"

​

@gaditb one time i refused to let #cats trend on this instance and so @aescling went in and forked the code to make #cats always trend (in a merge request i reviewed but shhh) and that is entirely the kind of energy we go for here

@gaditb at some point you look up and you realize “if i moved to a different social media site i would have to deal with #cats no longer trending” and you realize you actually have a pretty good place here

anywho if you think any GlitchCat policy is motivated by “bad actors”, you have a very misguided view of who we federate with

GlitchCat Policy on Global Fulltext Search

By default, Mastodon only allows fulltext searching on posts that a user has interacted with.

Some instances have recently decided to remove that limitation. This document comprises our policy with respect to those instances.
