Thoughts on the #Twitter SuperFollowers / Communities announcement:

1. Integrating a Patreon-like model into accounts is actually an interesting idea. I dunno if it's great to charge for access to certain kinds of private content on a public social network, but for creatives and models, it could be interesting.

2. Somehow, they've beaten a good portion of the fediverse to supporting Groups, which is absurd. We totally had this in the bag, but we dragged our feet on it. Like, this could honestly have been a strong incentive to get people to get off Twitter, an actually good feature that they didn't have.

I think it's annoying that Twitter is doing these features, but they kind of make sense.

Frustrating thing about mastoAPI documentation so far: lack of examples of how a constructed URL should look. I don’t need them often, but sometimes they give useful hints.

The Polls documentation seems to make sense right up until you get to the part about POSTing the choices: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/statuses/polls/

For some reason, the server says this is a bad request:

POST https://social.deadsuperhero.com/api/v1/polls/23184193/votes/?choices[]=3 

But, formatting the number to go inside the array brackets also fails. It’d just be nice to have an example of what the request is supposed to look like.

So... I'm developing this frontend. To set it up to make it work, I used my account to register an application, which gave me a client_id and a secret. I used those to get an access token, which I put into my app.

Then, I used that app to log in as myself with a password grant. So far, so good.

The thing that makes me kind of uncomfortable is the realization that I can see my timeline stuff when I'm logged out...which shouldn't be happening. I put a bullshit piece of login logic up to steer anonymous users from private statuses, but this seems wrong.

So, here's my question: did I accidentally scope my entire application to access everything a single authenticated user should access? If so, what do I need to do to make this properly multi-tenant? I feel like maybe I should somehow maybe save the resulting token a user gets after logging in to localstorage or something, and somehow make the API requests for an authenticated user access that?

#Mastodon #Pleroma #Fediverse

Hey @Gargron , whatever happened to Mastodon Bridge? I know it's been a while, but last I checked it's not a thing anymore?

I really loved the concept: it was very useful for discovering mutuals on the fediverse! I was curious as to whether there were specific reasons for shutting it down.

I ask because I kind of wonder whether this might be a good project for #Feneas, but I have no idea about whether there was a Big Serious Reason for not doing it anymore.
