I had to learn a lot about parliamentary government when studying for Canadian citizenship so I have all the passion of the recently-converted but I think we're all getting a lesson on which is the superior* approach right now.

*Not perfect, of course. And I'm still holding my breath for the Canadian election.

This commit on #Mastodon adds a new feature called "Fetch all replies"to the backend. This is an important step forward. It might help small instances (like mine ;) to get more complete threads from other instances and avoid the duplication of replies with the same/similar content because not all replies are visible everywhere. github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p… cc @evan FYI 1/2

Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳

The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

(Those who want the technical details can see the Pull Request at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p…)

Part of my job as a community manager is growing the population of people who are invested in OpenSSL. One way to do that is to open the front door as wide as possible.

Get Involved

There are many ways to be a part of the OpenSSL Mission: OpenSSL is an open source project, so we welcome contributions. Issues labeled are a great place to start. Read the OpenSSL Guide for a technical overview of the OpenSSL library.
