@dansup as mentioned, i am not the one you need to talk to. I am just observing how things are currently evolving and worried that fedi will end up with a number of incompatble implementations of a imo crucial feature.
@dansup from my point of view, implementing a protocol requires a very different skill set than developing a protocol. So no, i do not consider myself a protocol developer.
As you know, comment policy was not part of the original protocol as released in 2018.
@dansup i am not considering myself a protocol developer. There are people with decades of experience like @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ or @silverpill who has some great ideas too. Things are usually discussed on fedi or socialhub afaik.
I would have wished for a broad discussion among multiple projects (including a view on their history) instead of "look, here is our implementation". That's all.

@silverpill i have received your like and it was relayed from here to my other contacts. The fact that other hubs may reject them with 409 is because they are supposed to receive the like relayed from my channel in case they are accepted here.
Besides some visual improvements and the usual amount of bug fixes, most work for Hubzilla 8.4 was done under the hood. Performance has been improved and memory consumption reduced. Directory sync has been rewritten from scratch. A possibility to flag directory entries unsafe or spam for directory admins has been added. Directory flags are being synced between trusted directories. Trusted directories are considered the ones listed in get_directory_fallback_servers(). Additional trusted directory servers can be added manually if your hub is configured to serve as directory. The channelreputation addon has been moved to addons-unmaintained. The way it has been storing its data has led to serious issues on hubs with many channels and nobody is maintaining it at the moment. For more info about the changes in Hubzilla 8.4 please refer to the changelog.
A big THANK YOU! to all contributors and everybody who supports Hubzilla and its development.
#Hubzilla is a powerful platform for creating interconnected websites featuring a decentralized identity, communications, and permissions framework built using common webserver technology.
Native dark/light mode is probably the most visible new addition in Hubzilla 8.2. The modes can be switched on the fly via the moon and sun buttons in the hamburger menu. They also made the light and dark schemas redundant. Another nice usability improvement is the contact filter in the HQ widget. Just simply start typing the name or address of a contact and select it from the dropdown to get a list of top level posts by this contact only. Last but not least there is the addition of multi-factor authentication in core which we have ported from streams. It uses TOTP and can be setup in your account settings.
Other notable changes - A fancy new project website created withhubzilla webpages at https://hubzilla.org - Page load progress indicator for PWA standalone mode - Improved contact search - Author images in HQ widget - Theme improvements - Many bugfixes
Breaking changes - PHP 8.1 is now the minimum supported version - If you used multifactor auth via the TOTP addon you will need to set it up again in your account settings - You might need to revisit your custom theme settings due to native dark/light mode changes
For a detailed list of changes please refer to the changelog.
A big THANK YOU! to all contributors and everybody who supports Hubzilla and its development.
