I love mastodon. I really do. But thereβs so much begging. It feels like a virtual NYC or London street. People holding virtual signs up basically saying βI want/need money. Please go fund me.β Thereβs a LOT more of that in my mastodon feed than any other social network I use.
My issue with CWs is that you are deciding for yourself what others should consider "sensitive" content. The trouble with that fir me is there are some people who are sensitive about really niche things. I understand putting a CW on NSFW media; because that could get you in trouble at work. But putting CWs on anything else is a bit over-the-top for me. I just saw someone asking for CWs on holiday posts because it makes that person sad... Seems a bit much for me! π
@mike Thanks. I'm going to convert my personal instance (not the demo) to read from a GH repo so I can test it more before merging the branches. Once it's good to go, I'll update.
@mike Remote files aren't supported in the RSS feed yet. I might need to write a different feed parser to get it formatted correctly. The one I modified for reading a directory is pretty locked down.
@mike Possibly...I don't use Keybase, so I don't know.
The major problem would be that it's non-ascii encoding. I'm not doing any kind of check right now, just reading and writing to strings. I would assume that if you're authenticated in a browser, you'd be able to read files (remotes are read with an HTML GET request).
Lunch project: getting Pico to load text files from a GitHub repo. Set as an option in the config file. If you can get the app set up, you can read it from a remote repository with text files.

I'm playing with a script to generate an RSS feed. If the script rewrites the entire file each time it's updated (rather than appending item markup) is the _entire_ feed resyndicated? Or is RSS smart enough to only watch for changes?
