          Hello world! 👋
          If you see this handle and domain looks that belongs to mine, that's because I just recently installed snac2 software in Alpine Linux Docker on my potato 2GB RAM laptop. I hope this should work well without any issues although I didn't have any VPSes for relaying in case of downtime yet 😅

                    Say, how are edits to posts managed? Is there any indication an edit happened, a way to see the original\previous versions or to add an explanation for the changes that's not just a "Edit: x-y-z" line?

                        CW: Spicy take about Mastodon (specifically) [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                        If you really believe in the silly 250 character limit, then why the heck is everyone posting "3/12" continuation threads?

                        Either the limit is a good idea, and nobody should post multi-part toots, or its a dumb idea, and should be retired (in favor of a ~6k post limit). One or the other. Cut the crap, already.

                        I'd 100x rather see long posts shortened with a "See more" button than yet another toot that ends with "1/" 🤦🏻‍♂️

                        Forcing people to create threads just to get their thought across is terrible UX, and I'm tired of being diplomatic about it.

                                  I've just published version 2.91 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                                  Fixed some local posts not being shown if the replied post is deleted.

                                  Fixed web UI incorrect links to public posts for some configurations.

                                  Fixed encoding bug in Mastodon-style share links.

                                  Fixed an error that made imposible to leave empty the following hashtags or blocked hashtags from the web UI.

                                  Include post attachments in the RSS feed entries.

                                  Added some OpenBSD-specific documentation (contributed by oxzi).

                                  Fixed some timezones (contributed by matoken).

                                  Fixed some crashes (special thanks to Louis Merlin for helping me with this).

                                  Updated Docker scripts to avoid generating a useless log file.

                                  Fixed several memory leaks, key generation errors and HTML inconsistencies (contributed by dandelions).

                                  Added ostatus.org and FEP-3b86 data to Webfinger objects.

                                  Added a new CONTRIBUTING.md file. Among other guidelines, I explicitly say there that AI contributions are NOT accepted.

                                  snac is now available as a Yunohost app. Thank you very much to Bruno Cesar Rocha for this.

                                          Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).

                                          Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1) for more information).

                                          The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.

                                          Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).

                                          Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).

                                          A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).

                                          Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.

                                          Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.

                                            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.
