Ahoy @jdp !
It's neat that you're signing all your posts with your PHP key.
It looks like your host is on Pleroma, and the Vanilla Mastodon sites try to show it as an image, leaving a big "not available" box on every post.
Is there a support patch I could wheedle my instance admin to apply, or is this all experimental?
@jdp no need to stop, I was just curious as to what was going on and I thought it was neat.
Mastodon should probably use a whitelist of media types that get previews, or alternative preview boxes. Maybe I'll make a patch for it myself.
(Unlikely, because I'm lazy, but it could happen.)
FWIW, I don't expect anyone else to support PGP sigs because it's too niche. I do at least expect a .txt attachment not to be displayed as an image lol. I'd rather it be ignored than displayed as a blank box.
Maybe you can configure Mastdon to strip attachments of a .txt or .sig extension?
@jdp I'm using the PWA off of schelling.pt, so it looks the same for me on mobile.
I wouldn't expect PHP support to be widespread, but with a clean patch, who knows?
I expect a patch for sensible handling of non-image attachments to have a much better chance.
Maybe I can figure out where to patch...
@jdp This was either a typo or a brain fart and I'm not sure which!
@WomanCorn PGP, the acronym stands for Pretty Good Privacy. :)
