@Gargron may the noctuls not eat you in your sleep.

@Gargron wait. Its night there? Or are you Dracula?!๐Ÿ˜‰

@Gargron Goodnight I hope you have a good dream about a magical flying dog.

Okay, all emojis, avatars and headers on mastodon.social should be accessible again now, and most recent media attachments too. Older media attachments are in the process of being fixed.

So the Verge article for which I wrote some thoughts about Jack Dorsey announcing #Bluesky is out and it used only a few sentences from what I came up with, so I wanna share the full thing...

I was asked, if Twitter did indeed adopt #ActivityPub instead of coming up with something new, would it be better or worse for the decentralized social web?

Eugen Rochko

One commonly mentioned danger of a large corporate player like Twitter coming into the decentralized social world is the Embrace-Extend-Extinguish tactic, wherein one entity adopts a common protocol, and once it acquires a large marketshare then makes itself incompatible through custom changes, locking its users in and leaving the common protocol for dead.

@Gargron you are being mature and that's good.

Wether you like it or not, Eugene is the biggest figure in the fediverse and adopting such posture only promotes the fediverse. This is a revolution on social media, i hope it remains in the future as ethic as it is today.

Mike Flugennock

@Gargron Worse, absolutely worse.Jack Dorsey enables fascists and is straight-up toxic, and should be chased out of decentralized social media by a large mob with tire irons and baseball bats.

No, seriously; we should be displaying open public hostility to Dorsey's project.

Does tootctl need a command to update all objects in the bucket to public-read or is that too niche a problem to be included?

@Gargron will it affect DMs? Or am I dumb and asking the wrong question?

Nolan Lawson

@Gargron If it updated to include the newer headers (e.g. `cache-control:immutable`), then it may be useful. I know that after transferring S3 objects, I didn't immediately set the right headers, and plus anyone who was running an older version of Mastodon would not have those headers either.

@Gargron Pretty sure I ran into this issue transferring to DigitalOcean Spaces, it would have definitely been useful at the time.

Also I was outside and I've just come in and I have had no time to process what the fuck is going on with the Twitter thing

Jack Dorsey followed Mastodon on Twitter a month ago so it's not like he doesn't know Mastodon exists, take from that what you will

Miranda // MILF about town

@gargron acting like he's gonna invent it while following the mastodon acct is ballsy. Reach out to an interviewer who covered you favorably in the past and ask if they think there's a story in this. Jack cravenly ripping the idea without naming the thing that already is EXACTLY THAT feels a little fearful.

@Gargron Most likely a token step to protect Twitter from regulation.

Images not loading on mastodon.social issue has been partially fixed. My flexify.io credit has run out while I was outside so they shut off the virtual bucket I had in place while fixing file permissions on Exoscale. I've now redirected the traffic directly to Exoscale. Caveat: Not all file permissions have been fixed yet so some images will still not load. But newly uploaded ones from the last few days will be fine.

@Gargron do not do that! if you do that you turn into a normie!!! don't do it!!! you are posting cringe!!

Eugen Rochko

Mastodon works just fine with Wasabi, Minio, Ceph and DigitalOcean Spaces, so it didn't even occur to me that there might be issues with another S3-compatible API. I've contacted Exoscale support. I feel incredibly foolish for not having sorted this out before beginning a costly move.

Eugen Rochko

Figured out which configuration option was wrong thanks to one of Flexify's engineers. Gonna have to add an extra environment variable for this edge case ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

The new prime minister of Finland is in the age range that is most likely to be on Mastodon, just saying...

@Gargron perhaps countries should be running ActivityPub implementations for their heads of state, public officials.
