i don’t know, i haven’t ever looked at the docs, but lets be real, with the exception of mastodon (Gargron is a technical writer at heart), most fedi software has crap docs ;)

@mal @anna @one @zoe

right, so, basically, what happened was:

• Gargron thought CWs were pointless

• Trev sold Gargron on something resembling CWs by referring to them as “spoiler alerts”, this is why the Mastodon API still refers to them as spoiler_text

• basically no iteration on CWs has happened since

meanwhile, Qvitter and Pleroma FE were working on filters using ontological tagging (which would have notably worked without any need for modifications to OStatus)

and for completeness, lets discuss the other fediverse players:

Pleroma eventually added support for Mastodon-style CWs (we call them Subjects as the AP spec intends, but optionally do the collapse) in early 2018.

GNU Social (and Qvitter) still do not support CWs.

@bgcarlisle @Laurelai

it’s easy. should i write a blog about it?

basically you just do:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodongit pull --rebase

then you just update as you normally would (rails db:migrate, etc)
