    Limited communication with *THAT* server

    Heya dear Friendica admins,

    since the 2023.12 https://friendi.ca/2023/12/24/friendica-2023-12-released/ release of Friendica you can limit the communication with nodes of the Fediverse before blocking communication completely. Then communication, the exchange of postings, will still be possible -- but the data exchanged with the other node are limited as much as possible.

    This might be a way to deal with communication to a good friends on evil corporate server without providing too much information about users of your node. The settings to configure this limited communication have to be put into the config/local.config.php (see defaults https://git.friendi.ca/friendica/friendica/src/branch/develop/static/defaults.config.php#L328) file at the moment, it is planned to get the settings into the admin panel, but for now it is only the config file. There, in the system section add the following:

    "limited_servers" => "social.evil-corp.com, other-evil.com";

    and from then on communication with the two servers social.evil-corp.com and other-evil.com is limited to the technical necessary information. This includes

    • The posting and its content
    • From the user profile the nickname and the profile key.


    @Michael Vogel please correct me if I'm missing something, and thanks for implementing this solution!
