or at the very least just include the bare minimum info about an account, like username, url, displayname, avatar link. Not their whole bio lol

rather wasteful for bandwidth tbqh, it's convenient but I really would've expected a toot to just contain it's actual contents, with a reference to the accounts involved, and separate API routes to get information about an account

still gotta investigate storing toots (and accounts?) in indexeddb instead of localstorage

(every single toot response includes the full account info of the poster (and if it's boosted, that account too), so much more compact to store those separately, deduplicated across toots)

new toot/account storage format is almost a 50% reduction :)

fedifox will have micro trans actions (hotkey to toot a trans flag)

To my fellow transes: this latest #TwitterMigration has brought a ton of cis folks to our servers. A lot of them are going to bring their “cis is the default” attitudes with them. Let’s break them of that habit early.

Now more than ever is the time to remind everyone that this is a space that is more than just tolerant of trans people, it is welcoming and encouraging of all gender expressions.

Any cis person uncomfortable at this: best to unfollow me now.

go try fedifox.cthu.lu/, it's an in-progress client app being made by @f0x and it's coming along real nice

my timeline solving mechanism is too good I have no more gaps to solve for testing

I’m such a bad little api….. I sure hope nobody scrapes me 🥺

When you follow new people, take a moment to read their profile in full. As there might be useful hints about if they want follows, or if they want some kind of interaction or something else first.

And while you're at it, check if they have any pinned posts, as they can have additional important info there.

Thank you for your consideration.

At this point I am beyond convinced that everyone talking about filter bubbles and echo chambers is simply concern trolling and is following some nefarious agenda
