Interesting unintended consequence of federation: when you post a link, >1k mastodon nodes all fetch it at the same time to render a link preview, which results in a small DDoS.

snarfed/bridgy – feature request: backfeed for status changes

I would like bridgy to backfeed status changes so that POSSE’d issues can capture the full lifecycle of an issue.

Looks like there are tons of events: https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/events/

  • vital:
    • closed
      The issue was closed by the actor. When the commit_id is present, it identifies the commit that closed the issue using “closes / fixes #NN” syntax.
    • reopened
      The issue was reopened by the actor.
    • assigned
      The issue was assigned to the actor.
    • unassigned
      The actor was unassigned from the issue.
    • renamed
      The issue title was changed.
  • important:
    • marked_as_duplicate
    • unmarked_as_duplicate
    • labeled
    • unlabeled
    • milestoned

The together project: an IndieWeb experience

If a syndication method goes away, there is no way to turn it off. Facebook was removed from bridgy-publish, and apparently I had every syndication method turned on. The result is Facebook is permanently turned on, because the checkbox is not shown.

Thanks, Facebook.
