Hive Social shenanigans
Twitter doesn't let you edit one of your posts. You can buy an edit button that works for a few seconds, though.
Mastodon (or at least GlitchSoc) sort of lets you edit one of your posts, via a "delete and redraft" option.
#HiveSocial lets you edit your posts. And anyone else's posts. Among other nasty things. https://zerforschung.org/posts/hive-en/
While it'd be nice to dress up the bug & call it a feature , it's why they're unplugging the servers to fix it instead.
They're shutting down the #hivesocial servers for several days because the vulnerabilities are that bad 😬
When shown the huge list of operating systems curl runs on, people often ask me which is the strangest, or hardest, operating system to keep curl support for. The answer is always, and will probably always remain: Windows.
No other operating system has so many custom, special, weird and quirky ways that require special-case solutions in the code.

And with that, I'm going to take a break from this project for a few days! But do let me know if you've successfully used it!
