actually, i somewhat ponder whether the harassment i got to add a maintainer to ifupdown-ng was part of a XZ-type attack from an APT

because, you know, compromising a tool that runs as root in early boot and configures things like VPNs is probably a valuable target

@julian i still say delete only makes sense as a cache invalidation when it comes to remote content. that hasn’t changed

@irenes (but nonetheless i did merge some of that person's work, and i am now re-checking those commits to make sure i didn't do a fuckywucky)

@alex @risottobias this was the point of using JSON-LD for activitypub, but it doesn’t work well.

things i would like to see in mastodon that pleroma has been able to do for years:

- the ability to defederate an instance except for *explicitly approved* accounts (pleroma has supported this since the beginning of MRF in 2018)

- the ability to defederate a hashtag (pleroma has supported this since 2019)

- the ability to quarantine unknown instances until they are approved by the admin (pleroma has supported this through a combination of multiple features since 2019)

@chad wow glad to see they finally caught up with pleroma in 2019 in this ONE area.
