@Elizafox @Trev@icosahedron.website stop, and not in the reference way
@Elizafox two parts of the exact same thing: a huge fucking hammer
twurl is just like "what if curl but instead of being designed for internet, designed for api (specifically: birdsite api)"
it's okay
@abgd @squirrel well yes have to !== should be
a symbol for each date of birth, including a specific modulo of the year since there's much more than 365 unicode symbols
@shel my favourite is symbols that aren't zodiac signs
"Only ♃ will understand this struggle"
"OMG, why are 𝄞 always like this???"
"Friendship signs: ⏏ and ∅"
@abgd @squirrel i've seen them used as a way to request features many times and i think at this point it's a use for issues that should be acknowledged
@abgd @squirrel imo probably the second one except it'll be more like a private group
honestly, gnu social !groups are more like birdsite lists
i'm thinking of birdsite group dms but they function like mastodon dms without the need to @ everyone
@boots @squirrel @abgd yeah, this is also issue 12 on glitchsoc
https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/issues/12
there was a v good discussion about all this stuff last week in which we broke down this stuff into multiple features that can be implemented separately
i need to do a write-up on that and post it
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/422
this is a really good github issue for making mutual-only posts if anyone wants to support it!!! i know there are some people who are definitely interested in this
@squirrel @abgd https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/422
this is issue 422
it's open
i'd like to point out as of now mastodon is dealing with issues that are getting close to number *3000*
@squirrel actually it works like directs, just that your followers are included by default, so they will see your reply
still, i'm just going to submit a github issue for this if one doesn't exist because i don't think even the people ready to jump down and say that "oh, the issue is actually fine it works for me" for every single issue that involves user experience have a good reason why this should be this way
i will no longer be on computerfairi.es
please follow @boots
