This is a really neato service @taco is offering! If y'all remember me talking abt LinkStack before I mentioned there are public instances if you don't care to self-host it, and this one's furry specific! ​:drgn_owo_mlem:​

In short; Linktree boring, fursona.directory fun & cool! #linkstack #linkaggregator #carrd #linktree

So Patron rebranded again... Look, I think a lot of the hate towards "simplified logos" is unfounded, but I did agree that the last time Patreon rebranded it was a huge downgrade. Not sure how but they managed to do even worse than that this time.

This barely qualifies as an inkblot, what the fuck

So apparently the big flaw with ActivityPub is you cannot switch platforms for a domain. Once you've tied a domain to your fediverse instance, that's it.

There's a key tied to the domain, and switching platforms will generate a new keypair, but the old keypair is still tied to your domain. So requests that go from a remote instance to the new instance will fail because it's expecting a different key.

I mean, maybe there's a way to transfer the old keypair to the new instance. But I don't know how that'd be done. Would probably require database tinkering which isn't super fun. This also assumes that you have full access to the old instance, and nothing unexpected has happened.

Luckily I have no need to do this, Firefish is great and I am satisfied with it. However, being locked down to a platform doesn't exactly scream digital freedom. The keypair is also obviously essential to authenticating requests, so I get why it's there.

This is all my basic understanding of the problem after talking to @earfolds about it last night, as they are currently facing this issue. I may have misinterpreted how this all works cause I don't have enlightened cartoon wolf brain, but I found it kind of a fascinating problem and idk if all that many folks are aware of it?

Anyways yes, thought completed, back to cartoons ​:drgn_lol:​
