[tantek] what is an edit?
#
Loqi ✂️✏️ An edit (AKA diff, change) is a special type of reply that indicates a set of suggested changes to the post it is replying to. A collection of (presumably related) suggested edits in open source is often called a patch or pull request https://indieweb.org/edit

[KevinMarks] This is an interesting point on decentralized systems https://mastodon.social/@sarahjamielewis/112292811213856267

#
[KevinMarks] One challenge with mastodon is mapping people's understanding of mod actions in twitter to the fediverse model. So for example setting replies to "only followers" is more coherent in Twitter than in fedi, as each instance shows a different set of replies anyway, and you'd need to add a new annotation and propogate it to all servers that contain someone who follows you, and have them all implement it correctly.
#
[snarfed] hmm. servers already know which of their users follow you, right? this already has to be usable for followers-only posts, which have existed for a long time
#
[snarfed] yes you need a new annotation for reply restrictions, but servers shouldn't have to do anything unusually new to apply it...?

[KevinMarks] Another AP backfeed implementation https://bne.social/@simon/112291329325901995

[snarfed] [KevinMarks]++ 👀
#
Loqi [KevinMarks] has 19 karma in this channel over the last year (36 in all channels)
#
[tantek] [KevinMarks] can you figure out where to add that to the wiki?
#
[tantek] [snarfed] while you're around, can you recheck any Bridgy Fed bugs you have noticed with/against Mozilla.social? It should be working much more like default Mastodon now so hopefully some of those issues are resolved
#
[snarfed] [tantek] right! thanks for the nudge, will do
#
[snarfed] looks like it's working now! https://mozilla.social/@mconley/112293797289461468/favourites
#
[tantek] Great! Thanks for verifying [snarfed]++
#
Loqi [snarfed] has 56 karma in this channel over the last year (100 in all channels)
#
[tantek] like obviously https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/issues/2463 is still likely a bug in Elk, it's just no longer a problem on Mozilla.social
#
[snarfed] right
