@andypiper I'm not sure about the future of #DOStodon, but just don't break DOS compatibility in the API and I'm happy 🤣

@dec_hl do you know what "DOS compatibility" requires? It's such a cool project 😊

@andypiper well, most challenging is to work around unicode (#DOjS and therefore #DOStodon do not support unicode) and to support TLS.
the later is less a problem of the API but more of how the HTTP servers are configured.

Also: media types are problematic. Theoretically I could play back GIF animations, but because these are served as mp4 in Mastodon I can't do anything sensible.
Serving webp or other 'modern' image formats would be problematic as well...

@dec_hl I mean I'm not aware of anything in the pipeline that would break those workarounds, will try to keep it all in mind.
