> Here's the reason Article became a second class citizen... > https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/5022 > In this issue I raised against Mastodon in 2017 (on a now defunct github account), Mastodon at the time treated Note and Article identically. In particular, it removed all the HTML except for 'a' tags - even from Article. This made federation with the elephant impossible for us. At this time the ActivityPub fediverse consisted of Hubzilla and Mastodon. Period. The specification wasn't even final yet. Hubzilla provides long-form multi-media content, just like a blog. This content was completely destroyed by Mastodon's HTML sanitizer, especially blockquotes, which displayed everything we quoted as original text and mis-attributed. > My proposal to the Mastodon team (which was basically Eugen) was to relax the input sanitisation on the Article type a bit , and Mastodon could have their plaintext Note and we could have our multi-media and the fediverse be one happy family. Regardless of the fact that HTML is specified as the default content-type for all content in ActivityPub. > The response from Eugen was to turn Article into a link, meaning our content wouldn't be shown inline at all - and closing the issue. I believe this is the last time I ever communicated with Eugen and I will never, ever file another issue against Mastodon. > We started using Note instead, so that our messages would federate at all and knowing that Article would have been the most sensible choice. > We also need to strip all the images out of our perfectly renderable content and add them back in as attachments - otherwise they won't be displayed on Mastodon. As it turns out, Mastodon only adds back 4 images and reverses the order. This is less than satisfactory because the source content lets us position text around each image, and it forces anybody with multi-media content to not only perform this unnecessary step, but also to check every attachment on import and see if it was already included in the HTML - or it will be displayed twice. > As far as I'm concerned, Mastodon should be taken to the mountain-top and cast into the volcano. But it appears we're stuck with the infernal thing.

> a pixo that I like was in the Pátio do Colégio, a historical jesuit square and church that marks where the city was founded, the first building and the catechization of indigenous people. The jesuits were kicked by the settlers, because of the settlers interest in indigenous slave labour and some time later it also received the government of São Paulo. Nowadays the square shelters a lot of homeless people. The "pixo" reads "olhai por nóis", meaning "watch over us". Picture by myself. via [a comment in this thread](https://mastodon.social/@hipgnose/112344969623922584) by [@hipgnose@mastodon.social](https://mastodon.social/@hipgnose) > It was after the Guardian article, it received some local media coverage. After the cleanup, it was reinaugurated with tacky white ballons and the priest said: "We wanted it to be the symbol of our city, transparent, translucent, without stain, without any blemish, of the corruption that bury people, that supplants hope, that makes so many tears shed" Yeah, what a great history... via [a reply](https://mastodon.social/@hipgnose/112345016199078380) by [@hipgnose@mastodon.social](https://mastodon.social/@hipgnose) and a link to this article that contains more photos of the piece: [Após 26 dias, fachada do Pateo do Collegio é recuperada e reinaugurada](https://g1.globo.com/sp/sao-paulo/noticia/apos-26-dias-fachada-do-pateo-do-collegio-e-recuperada-e-reinaugurada.ghtml)

I think it probably won't work from Lemmy, ironically, but azorius, honk and mastodon, etc. should be able to follow these groups. (Don't follow from azorius until after updating.)
