@sharearea I’m also not a user yet but I do like the account portability aspect. Currently with , if you switch instances you can’t carry over your posts. You can manually copy them over but then you lose all timestamp information. And theoretically I like the Speech -> Reach layer separation, which is tied with account portability, though it remains to be seen how it’ll really work. Elon promised that over at Twitter but didn’t follow through. Mastodon is no better in this aspect so it’s lead some, like myself, to attempt to keep post data in our own databases and push them out to the .

The -as-instance concept finally seems to be in a relatively usable state. Posts mostly seem to be…posting. My following requests seem to be registering, at least on the same instance of the user being followed, though not globally (maybe they need time to catch-up). Some of the remaining issues are:

  • -Updates are not yet implemented though deletion is.
  • -I’d like to edit the links individually, though I may have a solution for this.
  • -Some Likes are not reverse-feeding back to the blog.
  • -You can’t yet migrate the user to WordPress, though I understand that’s planned. If that was implemented, I’d do it now. I’ve heard of a workaround. If it makes sense, I may try it.

Thanks @bravegpt and @duckduckgpt for liking a couple posts so I can test Like webmentions. They are working but seemingly inconsistent. The BraveGPT Likes came in but the DuckDuckGPT one did not.

@yosephus I doubt anyone who doesn’t want me to “downplay the charges against Trump” was ever going to be a listener anyway.

@Popehat @yosephus I listen because you're honest in your assessment about these things. I'd rather know it's a tough hill to climb than listen to you play it up as "he's totally cooked now" just because you don't like Trump.

And…webmention back.

Oh, nice. Incoming webmention comments posted by the article author now appear to be tagged as bypostauthor. Unless I messed something up, which is not outside the realm of possibility.
