Hi, it's me your benevolent despot. ❤️ ?
For the first time in a couple years, I silenced a few remote servers whose posts are 97% anime porn.
I didn't realize it wasn't enabled until now, but I've enabled the listing of server-wide domain moderations here: https://noagendasocial.com/about/more
Posts from those servers are hidden from the federated timeline and require a click-through to view media.
This hides (some of) the vast amount of hentai that otherwise fills the federated timeline.

@eriner @opal @alex the move away isn't due to Erlang/Elixir, but rather that lain isn't supporting it anymore, and the dev crowd around it now seem to be angry troons more often than not. Hence the splintering into different forks.
I keep wondering where Revolver will fit into everything, don't tell Pete but it's starting to feel like vaporware now with all the earlier hype but still no definites

@opal @alex No surprise, Erlang/Elixir is gross. I'm interested to see how gotosocial develops, but I'd honestly I'd rather just DIY. Some busy work involved implementing the jsonld shit and all, but I think I could hammer it all out in my evenings over a few months.
I have zero interest in writing JS, so I'd probably send virtual hugs and use Soapbox, hence the goal of implementing the Pleroma API.

@alex I wish Mastodon offered the option to just hide all bots from the federated timeline. I'd really, really rather not silence entire instances, however the effect of having done so has made NAS' federated timeline legible for the first time in years.

One day I'll get around to experimenting more with gotosocial or I'll implement Pleroma's API on my own.
I'd investigate Pleroma itself, but I've grown to greatly dislike functional programming, so nah.

@alex can I do that by just hosting static files at a subpath, using nginx/proxy routing to handle that? I'm running more than a dozen different (mastodon) containers, and I'd like to avoid patching them or disabling the builtin UI if possible.
Alex Gleason
Exactly, it’s nginx trickery. See: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox/-/blob/develop/installation/mastodon.conf
Sidenote, we also offer a Docker image which does this: registry.gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox
https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox/-/blob/develop/Dockerfile
I have not actually tested that federation works with this setup, but in theory you should be able to direct traffic to this nginx container and run it like docker run -e BACKEND_URL=http://backend:3000 registry.gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox
Assuming the Mastodon container is on the same network.

@alex Ah, ok. When I last read the instructions I thought it was pleroma-only, or moving in that direction.
Thanks for the link (and project!).
Based on my cursory examination of the nginx config you linked, it mounts the soapbox file root and then conditionally passes API queries back to the mastodon server. index.html seems to be overridden by soapbox routing.
Does the client-side JavaScript behave itself if I were to mount the index.html at /soapbox/index.html instead?

@alex oh, does soapbox not rely on the same cookies and auth as the underlying server, be it mastodon or Pleroma?
I was going to run it at sub-path so it could inherit the cookies from the parent (mastodon).
If it just uses oauth or something then yeah, I'll just run it on a subdomain and not fuck with any of the complex routing.

@alex oh, way easier than I thought. Awesome.
I guess all I have to do is drop the static files onto a new subdomain and it's done then, beyond whatever CSS/UI customization. Neato.
From my interpretation of the installation docs I had thought this was going to be *way* more complicated than: "leave everything you've got alone and just route these static files"
Thanks!

@alex Gotcha. Easy enough, should just be able to point it to the mastodon @location directive I've defined in the other site conf.
Matt Hamilton [Maryland]
@alex oh yeah, was easy, only took a few minutes: https://fe.noagendasocial.com/
