I shipped the syndication feature for my website today.

Getting the threads api was a bit tricky. It was easy after I had done it and I knew where to go and what to get. But before I did all of that, it was tricky.

It was the main reason why this had to be delayed till today.

There were other things I should have done by now, but haven’t because I had not shipped this feature.

Now I can go back to changing the UI. My favourite past-time.

Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse by Emma Roth

The decentralized platform initially planned not to launch quote posts over concerns that they could be used for harassment or to take someone out of context. Mastodon reversed this decision in February, saying a lack of quote posts might discourage people from joining the fediverse.

Of the three socials that sprouted out of the carcass of Twitter, I enjoyed Mastodon the most. The quality of conversations that is.

Threads was the most polished. But it felt like nothing was happening there. And the for you feed ignored me to no end.

This is good though. Quote posting is fun.
