re: character limits, a boring contrarian take 

@ghost_bird hmm but isn't that more a factor of the box itself being smaller and to the side? no matter if the number says 500 or 5000

Hello everyone! We've just created the proper v0.7.0 release of GoToSocial, Stormy Sloth! ⛈️ 🦥

You can find the release here: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.7.0

This is the culmination of two and a bit months of hard work, and we're really proud of it :)

Big thank you to all contributors, testers, and well wishers!

Release highlights

Basic video support (mp4 only). You can finally upload videos, and view videos from remote instances too. Not all mp4 files work, currently -- this is something we'll investigate for next release most likely.
Support for federating reports in and out of GoToSocial, and viewing reports via the admin settings panel (this feature was sponsored by NLnet).
Support for webp attachments, avatars, and headers.
Users can now create, remove, and view status bookmarks!
Domain blocks now apply on a wildcard basis, so you can block a second level domain (like example.org) and it will apply to subdomains too (like poop.example.org etc).
HTTP request throttling -- only a certain number of http requests are served at a time now. This should vastly improve responsiveness under load on small instances.
Much better logic for pruning old avatars + headers, leading to gb of disk space savings.
So many bug fixes and performance improvements.

re: meta 

@asterisk this is basically impossible to deal with for instance admins and moderators, suddenly you can't just moderate posts from your users as they're made, but are responsible for a giant backlog you'd have to review at once

nothing makes be believe in empty internet theory more than when I look for a solution for a particular problem I have, and the only real solution is a blog post by someone I know

@iyalei and that same exploitative outsourcing is happening with coding as well

Medium article: "Coding won't exist in five years. This is why."

First paragraph: "once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, handmade clothing was the norm."

Comrade. Friend. I really need to tell you that clothing is still hand made. We just exploit people in the global south to make tons of it cheaply.

if mastodon crumbled, which fruit would it have? i like pear
