i never did add an image description 

“me: real ones know Claire is the duct tape and glue holding the fediverse together
“me: this sounds like a roast but the roast is of Mastodon itself”

re: summary of masto privacy levels because why not 

@packbat since october 2018 there has been a FIFTH, undocumented, status visibility, the limited visibility, which was introduced to honor the visibility of google+ circles, which some mastodon-compatible software allows (and which is purrfectly allowed by the AP specs); explicitly mentioned users can see the post, but it’s not viewed as a DM. (the ability to have “silent” (that is, non-notifying) mentions was introduced at the same time so that you don’t necessarily ping everybody who can see the post)

fur some reason, such posts are shown to users as “private” visibility, even though that is not really correct

now the absolutely wild part is that the status creation API endpoint will just let you try to create a limited visibility post!! but that’s pretty useless, because there is no way to create silent mentions from that endpoint; you would have to ping everybody you wanted to see the post anyway as if it were a DM

as a point of clarification, GlitchCat is not the same thing as the cat family. anyway: 

in the cat family we suppurrt the boys in blue

anyway, if you wanna see something kind of funny, try sending a json blob to your mastodon instance’s status creation endpoint where you have the visibility set to “limited” and see if you can make sense of what happens :)
