GoToSocial (so far) has been trying to maintain compatibility with the Mastodon API, to maximize the number of clients compatible with our ActivityPub server implementation. The Mastodon "base" API implementation is still underway (e.g. we're missing lists), but we have been aware of the fact that maintaining API compatibility with all future features would forever have us in a state of "catch-up".

Given recent announcements about the direction that Mastodon development is being taken, and our own fears about the future of the Mastodon project, we are declaring a cut-off point. GoToSocial will only be attempting to maintain Mastodon API compatibility up to the current stable version, that is, v4.1.2.

Now this does not mean that we will never implement future features of Mastodon, it just gives us more flexibility in exactly what and how we implement things, especially when it comes to the more ethically complex ones (looking at you, search!).

@codl @wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net onboarding tutorial island where they get a spoofed timeline and if they replyguy they'll never get out to the real fedi

also got my first set of contact lenses to try out, quite nice so far

ooh great, replacing the frame on my broken glasses unexpectedly did fall under warranty

re: cn meta 

@juno yeah it's definitely gotten worse, especially stuff that gets boosted on my TL but from some of my following too..

@steph@toot.party pretty sure I've sat right across from there and ate Manneken Pis fries a while back hah

hey at least I have no difficulty touching my eye (it's important for contacts)

Meta / Mastodon 

@deadsuperhero he shouldn't need to be forced and people harmed in order for these changes, somebody with that power in the architecture of a theoretically infinite social space should pre-empt or listen to people pre-empting these situations before they become situations. This is definitely the "too little too late" network for so long as it's one guy at the top is calling all the shots based on whatever works for him. None of this is new problems :ACNH_Sighing:

Meta / Mastodon 

Quote posts and broader search capabilities here without more effective privacy and moderation tools being delivered first will be insufferable very quickly. You can search for this toot and quote me on that later.

You know what *really* pisses me off about Eugen's announcement?

That he *knows* that this is a sensitive topic, and yet he couldn't be fucked to include any details about whether it will, for instance, respect consent.

fuck i thought this implementation would be easy but i have to do actual code architecting aaaa

I did find an article by the same author which is very interesting as well,

and Resist the Algorithms that Manage Them [(Qadri, 2022)](dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/1)

@steph@toot.party yeah not sure either, it was submitted to that conference but not sure about elsewhere

:boosts_ok_gay:​ Unfortunately wasn't able to find the full text for this anywhere, even sci-hub etc just have a single-page pdf with just the abstract. Emailed the author, but if anyone could find it that'd be greatly appreciated! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3375627

Found after one of the passages in the article ["Algorithmized but not Atomized? How Digital Platforms Engender New Forms of Worker Solidarity in Jakarta" (Qadri, 2020)](dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/337)

Which analyses 'tuyul apps', third-party apps that enhance the gigworker's official apps in favor of the workers
