#TIL about The Grillo telephone, a 1960s flip phone telephone from Italy.

"The modern styling, compact form factor, and automatically opening clamshell design set "Grillo" apart from other telephones that were available at the time."

@[email protected] Right. Like I said, best to follow up with any questions in the announcement thread. I'm not really involved with Mastodon or this project myself.

@[email protected] Ah, I haven't read the spec yet, I'd suggest to follow up in the official announcement thread. Sorry I can't be of more help!

@andypiper @cybeardjm Right, but this is an issue with the UI, the embed code is missing, see the screenshot I added to the GitHub issue.

@[email protected] Thank you! No rush. It should work and look exactly the same way as with iframes.

@[email protected] Great! Did you also try the new embed, something from mastodon.social?

@[email protected] Alright, I just went ahead and made the necessary update, it didn't require too much effort.

Let me know once you update the plugin!

@[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.

@[email protected] Yeah, you definitely won't have to do that, the issue is more with wanting to embed posts from any servers running this version of Mastodon.

You will only get the blockquote HTML code, while the plugin looks for iframes, so it just won't do anything.

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.

@dangillmor: "Shaming people into moving over (to the Fediverse) doesn’t work". (stefanbohacek.online)
 

@[email protected]: "Shaming people into moving over (to the Fediverse) doesn’t work".

Well said. And I've said this myself in the past, folks who want to get people to join the fediverse have to actively work towards making it a safe and inviting space, for everyone.

Happy #LaborDay! (stefanbohacek.online)
 

Happy #LaborDay!

"Conservative Democratic President Grover Cleveland was one of those concerned that a labor holiday on May 1 would [...] strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that backed the May 1 commemoration around the globe. In 1887, he publicly supported the September Labor Day holiday as a less inflammatory alternative [...]"
