Then you should be good as long as you selected no bots option in your account preferences.

@antares

Just a reminder, there are tons of servers on the fediverse with quote toot feature, and they all follow the same standard. QOTO is a mastodon instance with Quote toots for example. Fedibird is also a very large server that is mastodon based that has the feature. All Misskey servers also have the feature.

@stavvers There isnt a "lack of quotes"... many servers in the fediverse have the quote toot feature including forks of mastodon... QOTO has quote toots for example.

@mur2501

The differences are fairly significant, something like 2 dozen or more additional features, then we try to pull in piece by piece updates and features from masto if they cover something we didnt already have.

@trinsec

The version we originally forked from would be the version from 5 years ago.

We have made minor deploys that werent announced, small bug fixes here and there. Not sure how much of what I pulled in in v4 is in the RUNNING server, but I do know I pulled it into my local code base, I'd need to check what actually made it out. The last year has mostly been minor security fixes.

@mur2501

@trinsec

We dont pull from whole versions, we pull in features piecemeal. There is code from v4 in QOTO for example, just not very much of it yet.

@mur2501

@mur2501

As a fork that question doesnt make much sense. Our version has no relevance to the vanilla version. Features are pulled in piecemeal when we want them and our own features have no plan to be in vanilla.

@trinsec

@mur2501

Yup its in the works.

@trinsec

@shuttersparks I'm not sure why it has to be one or the other... Can't we just agree some people will abuse, drain, and steal from the system no matter if they are rich are poor, just as there are many rich and poor people who are good. We have to stop reducing everything to such simple terms IMO.

@nus QOTO is a version of mastodon with the quote feature. What i like about it is how its implemented. All it does is copy the url in your own post so other users can still see it but those who have the feature implemented see it properly embedded.

Even if you dont have the feature you can do it by following the syntax.

@thor congrats, I recently had a big milestone too.. lets celebrate!

"All I want for christmas is a ewe" is both the italian and the farmers version of the classic christmas song.

@TheOldGuy It seems almost anyone involved in politics these days is a loon, MAGA being the post child of looniness :

@antares Bots are usually behind anonymous Ips so its hard to track. But I dont see anything that resolves to an IP that is obviously from google or facebook.

First rule of condescension club: Well if you deserved to be here you'd already know what it is.

@thor

This seems a mischacterization. Other way around UfoI focuses on federation, and only lightly touches on moderation. Server admins are largely left to moderate how they always have

@aral

@darth

Sounds good. If you change your mind and want to join the UFoI let me know
