meta, hachyderm, corporate capture 

Heads-up for any folks on hachyderm.io: I would recommend picking a different instance, as it seems likely that it'll get defederated from quite a few places at some point.

They seem to not only be happy with corporate accounts[1], but also apparently seek to "introduce trust with corporations" [and draw them to fedi?], which uhhhh yeah no.

This is a space for people, not for corporations. Let's not repeat the errors of the FOSS community (that eventually led to near-total corporate capture of FOSS) by inviting corporations into our spaces, not even "as long as they play nice".

@mia@lgbtqia.space hmm that's mits, if we find a backronym for ki i can call it Mitski (although that also sounds very similar to misskey hmmm)

it's an attempt to make somewhat of a protective shell around the Mastodon 4.x changes, so ideally the name reflects that

@elfi admin teamwork with @thufie, we used different ways to add it back so now it's there twice :D

Thank you for readding this @f0x, we are more mastodons than mastodon is again

@mia@lgbtqia.space i backported the html injection patch into my v3.5.3 glitch-soc branch, and only realized today there's separate files that need patching for the mastodon and glitch-soc flavors (even though they're basically identical and should just be a single file in the repo...)

it means if you use a mastodon flavor skin it's still fucked atm

i fixed the html injection in a forked glitch-soc repo, but of fucking course glitch-soc actually mostly DUPLICATES the mastodon code in two places, so you have to update the identical Mastodon code too in a different folder for fucks sake you can't make this up

@nightjar@toot.site @owl correct, he just eats a lot of shrooms

and this might fuckin involve a custom proxy that *does* require authentication for all requests

pixie.town has the two important fixes in glitch-soc backported to whatever 3.x release we were already on, but maintaining that forever is a losing game. I fucking hate the new landing page though so maybe I'll have to find a way to upgrade to V4 but disable all the privacy and security nightmare features
