One by one I am going to replace every corpo app with something that I either run, make or personally know the maker of. I am doing pretty good so far. Socials, feeds, photos, bookmarks, music, notes. I guess I need someone to invent a phone OS.

the discord age verifier thing going round actually works: https://age-verifier.kibty.town/

obviously standard disclaimer applies, don't copy paste shit from this website into the dev console unless you understand it; in this case it does just pass the k-id verification URL from discord to their fancy server (well, after some modifications I made to make safari happy), and that server does whatever to satisfy the check

Simple solution

The name “JPEG XL” implies the existence of other next-generation file formats such as:
• Big PDF
• MP3 Pro Max
• SVG Deluxe
• 7Zip 7Furious
• DOCX-treme
• GIF Supreme

with the squerge of the account / statuses policies side effects pull request, the domain limit stuff for #GoToSocial is now more or less finished, and if you're running a snapshot you can try it out :)

If you're interested, you can read more about domain limits here, including what they allow you to do: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/domain_limits/

Essentially, when it comes to a limited domain you can do stuff like:

reject all media (attachments, emojis, avatars, headers)
mark media as sensitive
mute all accounts by default, much like Mastodon and other softwares allow
force a content warning to be added to posts
set a follows policy so that follows from limited domains are forced to manual approval, rejected, or rejected UNLESS they're "follow-backs"
set it up so that posts get a "hide" or "warn" filter applied by default

Importantly, the mute/silence and filter adding options don't apply to accounts you follow. So if you mute a domain, you can still follow accounts from that domain and see their posts just fine.

With all these options, this should give GtS admins a lot more control over federation with shitty instances, beyond just domain blocking them completely.

Aside from already being available to snapshot users, the feature will be in v0.21.0, which we'll likely release shortly after the new year :)
