🆕 blog! “Getting started with Mastodon's Quote Posts - technical implementation details for servers” Quoting posts on Mastodon is slightly complex. Because of the privacy conscious nature of the platform and its users, reposting isn't merely a case of sharing a URl. A user writes a status. The user… 👀 Read more:

Are there any ActivityPub / Mastodon sites running on TOR? If so, are they accessible from the wider fediverse? #TOR #ActivityPub
