@simon I'm not a lawyer (or in the EU), but would ActivityPub comments maybe solve your problem? You wouldn't be "processing user data" as it were, so that might side step things and shift liability to you Mastodon instance.

@evan Voting is a minimal, not ultimate, form of citizen engagement.

@evan I sometimes get the feeling there is an uncomfortable thought that I'm avoiding, it usually manifests as a general feeling of anxiety.

That's when I know I need to steel myself and look it in the face so I can understand _what_ is bothering me, _why_ it's bothering me, _whether_ it should bother me, and what action I can take to deal with it.

I'll have a sense of dread all day and the realize it's sometimes as silly as "I read a headline that didn't sit well with me".

My #Feditip for folks getting started on #mastodon :

Very impressive.

I'm trying to find many of the objects it's pointing out, and while I can guess what it's referring to, I would struggle to say that it is accurate in describing things in the scene.

e.g. I see a gas canister, but it isn't white and black, nor is it adjacent to a pump which is red and white (although it is adjacent to two pumps, being red and white respectively).

@BeAware Just in case anyone else comes across this, I found the regex at the linked page didn't really match super well with the text of the page.

This is one that seems to make a lot more sense to me:

@BeAware Thank you!!

I can't seem to find it in the #Mastodon docs, but I'm trying to come up with a #regex for validating Mastodon usernames and can't find exactly what's allowed.

Part of me wants to treat it like an e-mail address with an extra at sign.
