"Why does it work without JavaScript?
Because a social server is infrastructure, and infrastructure should not stop working because a bundle failed to load, a browser is old, a connection is bad, or someone reads the web with scripting off. Pages are rendered on the server; JavaScript improves them and is never required by them."

Love the consideration!

However:
"Only public, top-level, non-boost posts that were explicitly marked as blog posts are published."

Does that mean that if a publish a post in the morning that gets boosted during the day, I cannot transfer it to a blog post in the evening?
I would have to make that choice right away when publishing a post?

@fasnix No, you can convert any of your posts to blog posts whenever you want to. But you can't convert a boost into a blog post. Which sounds reasonable, I think.

@stefano
Ah, understood: I cannot boost a post from another user and make that a blog post.
Also not a "quoted boost"?

@fasnix no. You’d lose the quoted part. And this is a privacy feature, not a bug.

@stefano
I see, I can only publish my own original content and make that a blog post.
Makes absolute sense!

@stefano This project is too cool. I hope one day we'll carry our servers in our pockets, where launching a new online presence is as simple as creating an app profile.

@tabby@gts.iltabellinoweb.eu yes and no; people dont back anything up ever and just assume the stuff on their phone is safe from mishaps even though we have repeated evidence to the contrary. So I'm on the fence about this... but then regular folks wouldn't back up their server either I guess if its on a Pi zero 🤔

@stefano I think a FAQ answering whether AI/LLMs are used in this project would be a good addition

@adam@toots.adamu.jp the about page says:

In a period where it is fashionable to boast about the dozens of AI agents doing things on your behalf, we are the Little Computer People.
We are people who love doing things with our computer, who treat it as an instrument of creativity, of expression, of life. Of friendship, of play, of letting off steam, of sharing.

This is the message the team wants to send to the world. And I think it's self explanatory.

@stefano I did read that, but I don't think it's explicit, hence the FAQ suggestion. I know it seems obvious, but better to state it in the clear. My ¥2 anyway 🙃

@adam@toots.adamu.jp thanks for the suggestion! The team was more oriented towards a positive approach, which is the same I usually have at BSD Cafe. Pro, not against. So saying they’re enjoying programming is a positive message. Saying “no AI here” is something different, even if the message itself is clearer. I’ll try to talk to them.

@stefano well, I've asked the question in a roundabout way. See if you get asked it often enough for it to become frequent 😆

@adam@toots.adamu.jp Of course! Your question is completely valid and makes total sense. Since I'm not the only person involved, I have the thankless task of having to explain and convince the decision-makers, whether I agree or not.

@stefano I am reading this (obviously will take a while) and will eventually send you a full report.
Yell if you need/want a translation into something else
