Shoutout to @jalcine@todon.eu for hipping me to Gitea going corporate.

sigh This is why we can't have nice things.

@schratze ohh right, yeah we don't implement the social.pixie.town/interact/109 style interaction. Maybe for public toots we will eventually add it, didn't know that people actually used that hah

@schratze what do you mean? Unlisted toots aren't shown on the web, but you should be able to search for a post by url just fine (as long as that account has permission to view it ofc)
like gts-dev.pixie.town/@f0x/status searches fine here on multiple instances

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt i tried `fa-archive` but it didn't look great either, I don't really see a file cabinet thing but it's also really hard to find specific icons on the forkawesome site in general..

:boost_requested:​ A question for folks who *aren't* developers:

What would be the most important things/qualities for you in a website/page builder? Specifically, in the kind of builder that lets you build in some limited amount of interactivity (like forum functionality).

Developers, sit this one out please. Boosting is of course appreciated, though.

Wow. Minnesnowta@universeodon.com jumped in my mentions, clearly feeling called out by the idea that wanting massive police operations to attack unhoused people might be fascist, got tired of telling on themselves, and blocked me.

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt yeah, pretty similar to the single-eye emoji

@jasmin right, I kind of need that space for other form fields / info though. It's also not really an issue if it's (accidentally) submitted

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt hmm also not great I think, and I know some people that don't really like the way eye (emoji) look

(there is already a `title` hover with info on what it means, and screenreader-accessible fallback text)

@thufie lmao, you can technically layer fork-awesome icons but that would be very cursed

What icon do I use for "This domain is already in your list of suspended instances", I'm at a loss

options: forkaweso.me/Fork-Awesome/icon

I think it should mostly be an informative hint, because it won't prevent you from including it in your import (you might even want to, to change the metadata to that from the import)

this is probably my most popular toot by now. if so many people agree, why do techbros keep writing shitty scrapers under the guise of "people totally want this", hmm?

@zkat you'll have a way more limited pool to get search results from but that's kind of the point. If there's truly such a need for a group of people to be searchable, they can opt-in and find each-other.

I also don't really have a problem with instance-local search when scoped to what the user could've already have seen (Searchtodon had mostly the right idea there). The big problem with Searchtodon is that it holds a centralized index across all it's users.

Instances already have this data, it's in the conceptual security model, it's the addition of an extra (centralized) party that worries me here
