WHY BE RACIST,
SEXIST, HOMOPHOBIC,
OR TRANSPHOBIC
WHEN YOU COULD
JUST BE QUIET?

@manton Very well written, I think you are on to something!

just a couple besties hanging out

#pixelfed #loops #mastodon

@shlee @Sujiyan You seem like the ideal steward.

Mr. Suji Yan: Hello, Pixelfed, Loops, https://fedidb.com and https://fediverse.info founder here, I think you should hand this over to @shlee, who would be best suited to maintain this!

@Sujiyan cc @shlee would you be interested in this?

What an absolute legend, after moving on from @Mastodon, he still spreads awareness and donates stickers!

@andypiper you may have moved on to another role, but your kindness and impact will always be remembered here on the fediverse ❤️

@grosser_mensch Of course, admins will be able to set these via the admin dashboard, and we will show users a warning about this!

If you've run a Loops server, you know how easy I make it for admins to customize and change settings!

We even have our own markdown blog/custom page support feature, with the ability to add these custom pages to the sidebar and footer for users, guests, both or none!

@christin Oh cool, love that!

You're doing an amazing job, FediSuite is very powerful and needed.

Keep up the great work ❤️

@buage yeah good call! I will fix this <3

@shlee @grishka both will be supported, though Loops will try and link subthreads or mentions accordingly while not breaking or creating a new thread (if possible)

@grishka Yeah I don't like how Mastodon handles them, but they were the first mover on this, and is familiar to most people.

While I'm focused on 1-1 conversations, I left the door open to support group convos, which we will use to handle Mastodon properly, adding and removing recipients while maintaining conversations and subsequent branching.

@grishka Mentions != audience or participants, not everything has to turn a mention into those.

We will support group chats, but have a clever way of handling this.

Loops Direct Messages will be coming to the webUI (mobile + desktop) and our official mobile app!

#loops #directMessages

And we have a clear warning that direct messages are not encrypted. If you need encryption, use Signal or another secure messaging platform!

@grishka I created a new conversations table/model with 3 other ones, that properly handle recipients and delivery.

It’s not that complicated, but what is is how we support remote media attachments, but only support Klipy media and Loops videos (dereferenced from the videos table) for local/Loops users.

The Direct Messages feature requires a lot of careful consideration to prevent abuse.

This is why you will only be able to message accounts that follow you if your account has less than X followers or is younger than 1 year old.

Don’t worry if you have less than X followers, but have more than XX cumulative likes across your videos, you will bypass this restriction.

Incoming and outgoing messages will be scanned for known spam urls before processing.
