In which
:gibbysmile::hacker_f::hacker_s::hacker_e::glowing:
remains unironically committed to dumb ways of interacting with fedi, including/especially weird hacks that lain added to Pleroma as a joke but also pistolero (npub1ch8…sw60) has done something foolish:

Actually, let me stop right there. There was a post here and it has been removed and replaced with this post because it turns out that the patch itself was an ill-advised divergence.

I had a reason to add some stuff to the "bbs" interface but was typing up a post and said "That code changes rarely enough that it probably still applies cleanly to upstream" and I thought I should check that it has in fact not changed instead of speculating and it *has* changed and this patch probably does not apply cleanly because way better stuff has happened upstream (and I think I might have heard about this at the time and forgotten it) so I will have to (at some point in the future) undo this patch and then try to merge the other stuff from upstream because the upstream one can show threads and that's pretty cool. This one just added likes ("l $id"), reposts ("! $id"), and notifications ("cares", which is somewhat ambiguous until you reason that "cares" was shorter than "notifications" or "notifs" or "worries").

Anyway, I love bloat but had a reason to want to not run a browser to interact with fedi and the ssh client was missing just a little bit of stuff.
