@PurpCat @j are you telling me that if you block someone on pleroma they can still see your posts and your profile....?

@beardalaxy @PurpCat that's how it's always been

@beardalaxy @PurpCat the server shouldn't have to do extra processing just because you're butthurt

@j @PurpCat so are there mute and block buttons on pleroma or is it just blocking?

@beardalaxy @j yes yes that's how it is.

Mastodon was made for people who thought Twitter wasn't banhappy enough btw.

@PurpCat @beardalaxy @j I'm honestly glad that our instance is running on Mastodon though. Our existence spites Eugene Rochko.

@xianc78 @PurpCat @beardalaxy honestly mastodon doesn't seem to shit itself as the database grows

@j @beardalaxy @xianc78 i need to try pisskey

@xianc78 @PurpCat @j I honestly really like the frontend at the very least. I wish we had some QOL features that pleroma does like emote reacts and media posts being able to contain more than 4 photos or 1 video, but I can't stand the pleroma fe tbh.

@beardalaxy @PurpCat @j You could try SoapBox, if the Pleroma instance you are using supports it, but I don't know if Alex Gleason is going to maintain that anymore.

@xianc78 @PurpCat @j yeah he's not, I do like soapbox though, it's very mastodon-esque. I did play around with misskey for a bit too and that one isn't bad either. Pleroma fe is just too noisy imo. Very functional, but noisy. Which I guess has its fans but I'm not one of them lol.

@beardalaxy @PurpCat @j PleromaFE seems more like old school (2006-2009?) Twitter's UI. I think GNU Social was also like that for a while. My main gripe with it is that you need to press a button to refresh the feed and the constant parsing errors (t.map is not a function, JSON.parse error).

@xianc78 @beardalaxy @PurpCat pleroma started life as a frontend for gnusocial

@xianc78 @beardalaxy @PurpCat @j >the constant parsing errors (t.map is not a function, JSON.parse error)
Which in 99% cases is frontend expecting JSON and receiving standard HTML page from a webserver with a 500/502/504 error.

@beardalaxy @PurpCat @j
>it's very mastodon-esque

It's literally ripped from the front-end of Gab's Mastodon fork, IIRC.

@PurpCat @j that's kind of ridiculous tbh. If I block someone, it's because I don't want them to be able to interact with me at all. Granted, I rarely do that, but it's lame to not be able to have that functionality imo.

@PurpCat @j I guess posting followers only kind of helps with that. Twitter has a really shitty version of that though too. Your account is either completely private or completely public and you can't change it per-post.

@beardalaxy @PurpCat Eh scopes only work if the servers receiving them respect it. Nothing is stopping a server from making all follower only and direct posts public for everyone to see. It's just security theater.

@j @beardalaxy yeah this has been done before btw you can use a mrf to do it on pleroma

It's another reason people say "don't trust fedi DMS"
