For Mastodon there is something called Tootpick which allows you to enter your server’s domain and share any content by redirecting the user. For example: https://tootpick.org/#text=https://eventfrontier.com/post/37808. So I’m not quite sure the federated nature argument makes sense. Sure it’s more complicated that a centralized system, but possible regardless.
At this point it’s like, why not use Ethernet?
Good feedback. This is meant to be extremely initial. I absolutely understand the hesitation to collecting PII. TestFlight does capture a lot of this data automatically when you sign up using a link anyways. Once it gets into beta (or even later alpha stages) I plan on releasing a public link that doesn’t require an application. I really appreciate your honest feedback tho, and I’ll definitely take it into consideration and consider alternatives in the coming days. Thanks again!
Feels like this would just be adding on a centralized feature to a system designed to be decentralized. If anything, it should be based on a decentralized system like Bitcoin or something.
Thanks. It did go down after about 40 minutes or so. It seems like my instance isn’t federating properly now tho. Had to manually call
/api/v3/resolve_object
with the link to your comment to even be able to reply to it.Another example is here you can see that the number of upvotes doesn’t match this.
Any ideas?
