@EeveeEuphoria there was some disinformation early on how the site whose posts are just extremely easily crawlable would be “protected” from ai by enabling the loginwall

random realization: HMAC-SHA256 is key committing because finding a K, K’ pair such that HMAC(K, m) = HMAC(K’, m) where K≠K’ is similar to a collision attack (except that due to the internal hashing steps involved it is harder in practice)

before mastodon got quote posts it showed up as a link with a standard link embed. now unapproved quotes show up as pending approval or not at all. it might be hidden in the dom somewhere but opening the inspector to read a post is like the opposite of UX

the user experience i do not think was considered for this feature at all, as when it launched the only way to mark your account as allowing quotes was to run mastodon and enable the setting there. i run akkoma where quotes are unconditionally allowed and last i checked it was not possible to quote my posts from mastodon (nor do quotes of my posts show up for mastodon users). this in effect is worse UX than existed before the addition of quote posts to mastodon because then quote posts at least partially showed up.

i think until mastodon did Everything Differently quote posts were just a field named quoteUri in the activitypub object pointing at the quoted posts, and pleroma/akkoma added a link to the quoted post in the post body itself

it appears that the really bad original behavior of mastodon (complete removal of the quote post link) has been removed but now it’s just bad behavior because there is no embed instead. and self-quotes do work on mastodon?

might have been a thing that wdw patched though

i trust they could have figured out something better than breaking every existing quote by removing the quoted content entirely and also blocking quoting users on quote-supporting software that doesn’t implement mastodon’s specific implementation of it

@RedstoneLP2 @volpeon @arch yeah, at some point there was a buffer overflow in it
