Yes! Has this been mentioned anywhere public? For ‘OLDMEMO’ support I could only find [this issue](https://invent.kde.org/libraries/qxmpp/-/issues/515) which was closed as unplanned. And in spite of other clients apparently working on ‘TWOMEMO’ support for 3+ years, I don’t know if any have shipped it. :gutkato_grandiga_vitro:

Gotta love how there’s a single nice, modern XMPP client for desktop and its encryption scheme is incompatible with every other XMPP client. Nice things just weren’t meant to be had, were they? :gutkato_disokula:

Yeah. :gutkato_hihias:

It needs to be said that adding support for this in Mastodon is a massive undertaking (requiring the overhaul of no less than [one entire line of code](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/28572/commits/2d5cec52f17adda1acad8ac3395b0fa846c18f6c)) with potentially far-reaching consequences (like displaying previously broken emoji from other instances). So it’s understandable why the devs are hesitant to allow this. :gutkato_averto:

I think tusooa :arevbunhdowohop: 西风 :artistsAgainstMastodonDotArt: (npub16j8…ps7z) was working on such feature for #Pleroma (see [merge request](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/merge_requests/3822)); not sure how that works or how far it got and if it’s working on her instance nowadays. (I hope she won’t mind the mention, either.) :gutkato_pensas:

Unfortunately, Pleroma doesn’t even support language tagging yet, so there’s a long way to go. But at least it supports Unicode in custom emoji names, unlike #Mastodon and some others! :gutkato_manĝas_fragon:

I think #Fediverse as a whole has a long way to go toward proper language support. Not just on a technical level, but mentally, too. People first need to recognise that different languages exist and deserve equal support, that people often speak more than just one, that ASCII really isn’t enough for many of them, and so on… these first need be regarded as basic requirements, not as extra fancy features. :gutkato_flucerba:

You’ve indeed made it clear that you condemn discrimination and far-right ideology, and I’m glad for that! But you’ve made it unclear whether your political involvement ends there, or if you also take a problem with other, less universally reprehensible political stances. :gutkato_pensas:

Unlike ‘far-right extremism’, which is generally understood to favour discrimination, ‘right’ has like dozens of nuanced interpretations in practice, some of which concern primarily economical views and do not entail discrimination in any way. By using this term, you beg the question which of the many possible interpretations you were going for. You’ve evidently left some of us feeling uncertain how we should be reading that, so it *does* in fact matter how you call it if you want to be understood by everyone. :gutkato_konfuzita:

You could very easily clear up this confusion by clarifying your blog post (by always referring specifically to the ‘*far* right’) and answering our questions by saying something like: ‘yes, “right” in the sense of “less taxes” and not “white male supremacy” is fine with us’. This simple step would in no way bring into question your support of the targeted groups, nor your stance on racism, sexism, transphobia or antisemitism; it would only help us who identify with that stance, but not necessarily other stuff one might attribute to the left-right distinction. By not taking it, I think you’re not helping anyone and are only creating division among your (potential) users where it doesn’t need to be at all. :gutkato_malĝojeta: Lunduke (npub1jzk…hxs8) Squirrel (npub152m…ztm9)

Thank you. Am I right to assume you’re using the term ‘right-wing forces’ exclusively as an abbreviation of ‘far-right-wing (extremist) forces’ in your post? The more literal interpretation would be concerning, even if I agree with your values, so more precise or consistent wording would be nice to have. :gutkato_ridas_nervume:

Alright, let’s say I see women as inferior to men and probably have a ton of other abominable beliefs, too. Now, what is my agenda? Propagating these beliefs into the law and the general public? More specifically decriminalising sexual assault without being upfront about it, in spite of being outspoken? :gutkato_pensas:

Well, I’m not sure I can really feel myself in that position and mindset, but I suppose that if I couldn’t outright say that sexual assault is okay or doesn’t really exist, I’d try to discredit the victims of sexual assault and the ideas that define it. So focusing on the ideas that consent doesn’t need to be given explicitly, can’t simply be taken back once given, doubting the claims of people who say they never gave it, and trying to downplay its importance as much as possible.

‘Well, she may not have said yes, but did she ever say “no”? Oh, she did? But didn’t she also say “yes” just before or after that? How do we know she didn’t? Why should we trust her? I’m not saying she couldn’t have changed her mind, but how was *he* supposed to know? Why are we always so quick to accuse the man without stopping to think for a second? And why are we making such a big deal of it, anyway? Look, she’s looks fine and perfectly healthy. What exactly does she mean by “traumatised”? Is that what we’re calling mild discomfort now? Or did she just make it up? I’m not saying she did, but I’m inviting you to think about this while reading these conveniently placed accounts of women who almost certainly have.’

Stuff like that, I guess! Only with more care put into the form, assuming I cared enough to spend the time and effort. (Also sorry if these do not display rhetorical strategies well enough; nothing better came to mind.) :gutkato_ŝultrumas_disokule:

Yay, I like quizzes! :gutkato_hura:

Political position? In the fourth note he seems to favour democrats. If you mean politics regarding sexual assault, he seems to be for criminalisation of the more serious offences under the umbrella term, and against that of the lesser ones. Additionally, he repeatedly advocates for greater distinction between these offences (misbehaviour), instead of using the umbrella term ‘sexual assault’, which he considers too broad.

He uses ‘stealing a kiss’ as an example of less serious misbehaviour, seemingly placing it near one end of the umbrella term, and contrasting it with the more serious misbehaviour, placing rape at the other end of the umbrella term. I think the great difference between these two illustrates the perceived vastness of the term very well, which seems to have been his goal.

When bringing up hugs and pats, he is critically speculating about further stretching of the umbrella term towards less and less serious misbehaviour, which would render it even more nebulous. Hugs and pats can be classified as intimate actions, though less intimate than kissing (which, in turn, is less intimate than groping, which is less intimate than sex). When these actions are done without consent, they more intimate ones can be far more traumatic.

So the relation between stealing a kiss and unwanted hugging/patting seems to be that they are the on the same scale (together with more serious misbehaviour), and he uses them to further illustrate the vastness of that scale, which he criticises for being all too vast for all of the misbehaviour on it to share a single term in practice, advocating for more specific terms instead.

How’d I do? :gutkato_fiera:

So I tried making a Fediverse logo! :gutkato_kontenta:

Most people seem to be using the [rainbow-coloured pentagram](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_logo_proposal.svg) (by Eukombos & al.), which I like well enough myself, but since I read somewhere that it looked a bit busy, I tried making something simpler yet familiar. Instead of different nodes, I put the colours in different spaces/communities formed *between* the interacting nodes; sorta inspired by the [origami boat logo](https://git.disroot.org/fediOrigami/fediOrigami) (by DSFGS).

I don’t think the result is particularly striking or much improved, but since I already made it, here it is anyway! Hereby dedicated to the public domain using [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en). I’ve put together a comparison with some pre-existing logos, too; which ones do you like the best? :gutkato_flucerba:
