@julian Also, speaking of fixable deficiencies, my edits here don't seem to propagate to SocialHub . Without knowing the code I'm confident it's fixable because my edits did propagate to the NodeBB thread at https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18932/final-thoughts-re-fedicon-2025/14 , great to see!

lucas3d@mastodon.social that looks fun! Was it just a social event?

@renchap@oisaur.com how does RFC9421 differ from Mastodon's existing support for HTTP Signatures? Does this mean you're moving away from cavage-12? That's important to know, and if you're looking for an implementor to handle double-knocking, that is something I can put together for you.. we don't do it at current.

@esoteric_programmer@social.stealthy.club that's likely because GtS handles summary as a content warning for everything. The whole summary and content warning business is in flux right now, so hopefully a standard will be set soon.

@trwnh@mastodon.social but why must a separate account be made? Account fragmentation is yet another unsolved problem because the new user on account B is functionally useless: no followers, etc. and the content isn't automatically available to the followers of the user on instance A.

@pfefferle@mastodon.social just wanted to poke you about this issue again. The latest updates to NodeBB now do a webfinger backcheck to ensure that the actor has a valid webfinger entry for their purported handle. If it does not, then the user is not properly created. Mastodon also does this. This check is probably for security as well as for preventing handle collisions. The multilingual plugin in conjunction with the ActivityPub plugin creates users that share the same handle, and that causes issues with federated content. For example, this article by @jonvt@vivaldi.com will load up just fine in Mastodon, but this japanese article by @akira@vivaldi.com will not, because that second article's attributedTo is https://vivaldi.com/ja/?author=176, which fails that check (the author's ID is actually https://vivaldi.com?author=176 as per the handle backcheck) cc @AltCode

@willi@social.tchncs.de a VPS can be had from DigitalOcean or Vultr quite economically (although I know that isn't always the case in some countries) You can also use our referral link for an account credit too!

Good lord @liaizon@social.wake.st did you just necro a 3 year old topic
