mastodon VS revolt

I'm the admin of a small server, which I set up a few months ago with the one-click install and then migrated to glitch-soc (https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/). Recently I tried updating it to the new version of glitch-soc due to recent security updates. However I seem to have broken my server.

I imagine it might turn out to be something similar to https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/

Have a look at glitch - a fork of Mastodon that looks and feels and behaves mostly just like mastodon but has Markdown support.

A good start to see Mastodons upstream finally implement features considered so necessary that they existed in a fork for years beforehand[0].

I'm not trying to sound cynical, this is legit a good change. Other fedi implementations have supported different message formatting (mainly markdown) for ages and that shit still degrading away to plaintext on Mastodon is extremely aggravating if you decide to (for example) use a bulletpoint list.

You don't have to maintain a soft fork; Glitch-soc is a "friendly fork" which shares maintainers with upstream and has lots of great features, including a configurable post length limit.

What the fuck is your problem? Why do you some here just to see? Are you so fucking retarded that you don't think this issue have been brought up before? Do you think I'm just making up this on the spot? https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/pull/1502 https://github.com/GlitchCatFedi/Policy/blob/main/Global%20Fulltext%20Search.markdown

Can we expect to see any of the https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/ features coming to Mastodon mainline soon? Post formatting? Highlighting of misleading links? or local only posting?

Mastodon Glitch Edition

So this one is a fork, and infosec.exchange is a fork (https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon); are the mastodon committers opposed to incorporating those changes, or this fork situation is "as it should be" while these experiments run their course?

I'm all for experimentation, but since "the exodus" I've become acutely aware of how many instances are out there advertising their version number, so the first big rails (or mastodon itself) vuln is going to be some ooooonooooz

Good time to remind everyone that an open source E2EE decentralized alternative exists for Discord in the form of https://revolt.chat/

or if you are a dude wanting to chill, hmu at revolt.chat

I haven't looked in to or tried it let due to still having his migraine and nausea the new UI gave me this morning, but just ran across Revolt in another post.

Re-Volt exists

I would highly suggest checking out Revolt (found here: https://revolt.chat/), it's still under somewhat heavy development but it's already a million times better than discord in its current state with existing features and planned features.

Psst, you should use Revolt: https://revolt.chat/

So, is Revolt back on the table?

I used gtkcord4, and I didn't get banned. I used Vencord, didn't get banned either. Of course, I wouldn't reccommend using any of these for the saftey of your account, as I was dumb back then and never learned about the risks.

Also, one Discord alternative I would reccommend is Revolt[1]. Great community, and was famous for being featured in a No Text To Speech video (and my friend's server had a brief cameo too!), and it's adoption of discriminators (i.e. randomguyabcd#5408).
