So Patron rebranded again... Look, I think a lot of the hate towards "simplified logos" is unfounded, but I did agree that the last time Patreon rebranded it was a huge downgrade. Not sure how but they managed to do even worse than that this time.
This barely qualifies as an inkblot, what the fuck

@93068179 Got another tip if the $10/month ($8/month annually) Sync subscription is a bit hard to swallow for essentially a few kilobytes of cloud storage. There's an extension called Remotely Save which lets you hook up your Vault to an S3-compatible bucket!
I'd love to support the development of Obsidian directly but I just can't justify the price for Sync personally.
So apparently the big flaw with ActivityPub is you cannot switch platforms for a domain. Once you've tied a domain to your fediverse instance, that's it.
There's a key tied to the domain, and switching platforms will generate a new keypair, but the old keypair is still tied to your domain. So requests that go from a remote instance to the new instance will fail because it's expecting a different key.
I mean, maybe there's a way to transfer the old keypair to the new instance. But I don't know how that'd be done. Would probably require database tinkering which isn't super fun. This also assumes that you have full access to the old instance, and nothing unexpected has happened.
Luckily I have no need to do this, Firefish is great and I am satisfied with it. However, being locked down to a platform doesn't exactly scream digital freedom. The keypair is also obviously essential to authenticating requests, so I get why it's there.
This is all my basic understanding of the problem after talking to @578bac63 about it last night, as they are currently facing this issue. I may have misinterpreted how this all works cause I don't have enlightened cartoon wolf brain, but I found it kind of a fascinating problem and idk if all that many folks are aware of it?
Anyways yes, thought completed, back to cartoons :drgn_lol:
Okay! My account should now be fully set! I'm genuinely really sorry if anyone got notification spammed by the import of my old posts from wobbl.xyz and meow.social.
If that were the case, it should be over now.
If there was an option to disable mentions in imported posts on firefish I absolutely would have ticked that, but I'm happy to even have the option of importing my old posts in the first place!
All this being said, I'm loving the heck out of firefish so far. It has so many useful features, I really wish this project all the success it can have! :bhaj_mlem::bhaj_mlem::bhaj_mlem::bhaj_mlem::bhaj_mlem:
