:bah: A melhor coisa é manter o próprio servidor e, assim, entre as liberdades que controlar a própria computação proporciona, poder personalizar completamente o estilo das páginas Web. É o que faço com esta instância de , inclusive em relação à fonte mesmo, que coloquei Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono e até OpenMoji. :harold:

Cliente externo deveria seguir a fonte do sistema operacional, não? Senão, foge que é cilada, :bino: !

            I've just published version 2.88 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

            If disable_emojireact is set to true in server.json, EmojiReacts (incoming and outgoing) are totally disabled.

            New command-line option top_ten, that returns the top ten most popular posts by a user (ordered by the sum of likes and boosts) (contributed by aov).

            Added a new set of per-user muted words; if a post contains any of them, it's hidden behind a dropdown (contributed by byte).

            If an account has a metadata named pronouns, it's shown by the name (contributed by violette).

            Mastodon API: children of a post are returned recursively, not just the first level (contributed by violette).

            Implemented optional metadata stripping for images and videos using external tools (contributed by Stefano Marinelli).

                            Hide EmojiReacts from muted actors and blocked instances.

                            Sorry for the inconvenience. Bad people creativity always gets me off-guard. Upgrade your snac to this version ASAP, or revert to 2.85.

                            There will be another release pretty soon with a better solution to delete offending EmojiReacts.

                                                    I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.70 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                                                    Notifications are now shown in a more compact way (i.e. all reactions are shown just above your post, instead of repeating the post ad nauseam for every reaction).

                                                    New command-line option unmute to, well, no-longer-mute an actor.

                                                    The private timeline now includes an approximate mark between new posts and "already seen" ones.

                                                    Fixed a spurious 404 error in the instance root URL for some configurations.
