meta, griping about being emailed 

oh yes, absolutely email me to 'appeal the block' of your instance, that will definitely convince me -_-

I am gonna post the most ice cold take ever:
*5 minutes of throat clearing*

“It is possible to believe that Greta Thunberg’s tweet was an absolute own of an arrogant misogynist who absolutely compensates for various inadequacies he believes he has by flaunting a lavish but empty lifestyle, *and* simultaneously believe that BDE and SDE are not the framework we should use to illustrate this.”

Inevitably though, this nuance always gets lost.

what the frick you can't even get the mastodon mascot through the api??

I deleted all my follow requests yesterday cause none of em DMd me

relatedly: unsure what to work on next for FediFox Shield, nor how to design the homepage and other instance info pages

oh hey, picked up tf2 again recently after a very long break and just reached 500 hours

re: adhd meds ~ 

intuitively makes sense too I suppose, more focused on one thing means less meandering and less variation in thoughts

adhd meds ~ 

definitely starting to notice how meds affect my creativity. I can work/concentrate on a project a lot better but design decisions are much harder?

but now you can search FediFox Shield rendered/proxied profiles and statuses properly again glitch-dev.pixie.town/@alice

turns out it was sort of my fault, reverse proxy not setting the original Host header, so FediFox proxied it to Mastodon with the FediFox shield listen ip as the Host

seems mastodon adds alternate_domains to the exception lists

which doesn't actually make any sense, because this is about the *ip that connects to the server* not the one the server is accessed as

Show thread

yay, ran into another shitty Mastodon connection protection thing with no clear to disable/add exceptions
(HostAuthorization, it's a ruby/puma thing apparently)

Some more context: FediFox Shield handles all pages on your instance that are *public* and *unauthenticated*.

Most importantly that's local users' profiles, and threads.

I have some ideas about what can be done differently from Mastodon (both the 3.x and 4.x interfaces), keywords would be *configurability* and *consent*.

What do you want the public to see about your account, what do you not?

:boosts_ok_gay:​ I'm looking for feedback on opt-in/opt-out functionality for FediFox Shield, my alternative Mastodon (api compatible) static frontend.

Due to technical limitations, users can fully opt-out of having any of their posts shown anywhere by blocking the user the shield server logs in as.

Another thing I want to make configurable for users is (not) showing their unlisted posts.

Any other thoughts?
