A new Tusker beta is out, with support for editing posts! Please report any issues you find—even if you think it's trivial or that someone else may have reported it already

ActivityPub can support portable identities, using the infrastructure and protocol that we already have: https://shadowfacts.net/2023/activitypub-portable-identity/

The crux of the issue with current software like Mastodon is that people and posts are identified by where they’re hosted, not who they belong to. It’s as if the URL for my blog post was https://5.161.136.163/2023/activitypub-portable-identity/. It moves the post from being controlled by me, the owner of shadowfacts.net, to my hosting provider who controls that IP address. But the web doesn’t work like that, and nor does ActivityPub have to.

For people who follow hashtags in Mastodon, would it be useful to have something like this that shows which hashtag caused a post to appear in your timeline?

@shadowfacts Yes!

I'd suggest a bit more vertical padding, smaller font size and prefix it with "This post contains the {hashtag} hashtag that you follow" or "You're seeing this post because you follow the {hashtag} hashtag"

i am constitutionally incapable of half-assing anything, so the next build of tusker will not only indicate verified profile links, but it also has a little popover explaining wtf the checkmark means
