So an interesting change is coming to Mastodon embeds.

Previously, the embed code consisted of an iframe, going forward, this is being switched to a blockquote.

In either case, the original text of the post is not included and is rather added after the main page the embed is on is loaded.

@[email protected] that's interesting I the sense of "what were you thinking?" putting the text in the statically served blockquote is job 0.

@[email protected] Yeah, I think I will withhold any criticism of that, for now.

The topic of quoting people's public social media posts is pretty fascinating to me, and my thoughts might be better expressed in a blog post rather than a series of posts on here. (Especially knowing that some might feel pretty strongly about this topic.)

There is so much to consider, from people's expectations, societal norms, and the technical aspects as well.
