We're phasing OStatus out of Mastodon (we've supported it 2 years longer than we've used it) which removes a lot of cognitive load from further development of features and maintenance #mastodev
@Gargron Cool, so its really just a way to make the followers-only posts actually enforcable. Makes sense.
This also means it wont work with anything but mastodon servers right? Its not ActivityPub standard compliant I presume?
@freemo No, followers-only posts are already enforcable. It's a way to make public posts enforcable. And no, signatures are a basic component of ActivityPub, so it's not a break away from standards.
@Gargron Ahh wonderful, thank you for all the info. Good luck. As always if i can help with anything just let me know.
@freemo Public posts will remain viewable in the browser
