Release v3.3.0 of Ktistec adds support for consent-respecting quote posts (FEP-044f). Quote posts represent the most lines of code I've written for any single changelog entry in my life.

Added

• Support for consent-respecting quote posts (FEP-044f).

Changed

• next_attempt_at in tasks now means not scheduled when nil.
• Permit type changes for ActivityPub objects.

Important: Quote posts come with a few big caveats. I've been using iterations of this in production for weeks, but if you don't like what you read below you might want to wait for the patch release.

• FEP-044f quote posts require delicate choreography between quoted and quoting servers. Server support across the fediverse is incomplete and evolving. If a quote post doesn't display it might be my bug, it might be their bug. Expect bugs.
• Quote authorization is currently all or nothing—you either blanket reject quote post requests (the default) or blanket accept them. I intend to support more granular controls and manual approval but that comes later.
• Quote authorization revocation isn't supported.
• Automatic re-verification of quote authorization isn't supported.
• Compatibility with other quote implementations is incomplete.
• There will be bugs 🐞 and more bugs 🐜.

#ktistec #crystallang #activitypub #fediverse

still working on quote posts... getting close...

as an aside, #ktistec x-ray mode is really useful when debugging and when i want to navigate to a quoted post that hasn't yet been remotely approved!

i think i'm going to add a feature to #ktistec that rolls up a chain of self-replies into a single post that i can just read. i don't understand why that (mis)feature of twitter remains so popular on the #fediverse
