changelog

bots can no longer like via the v1 api.

i decided last minute when pushing the v1 api to add liking as normal liking was not protected by hcaptcha. as such liking is now protected by hcaptcha. it should be silent 90%+ of the time.

i will add some more logic so it's less annoying (e.g. if you have completed a hcaptcha check in past X minutes then bypass the check for next Y actions)

all of the likes made with the v1 api have been removed

we will be using it to confirm user actions like posting, account creation, etc... for the foreseeable future

the robot emoji now only shows on posts made via the v1 API and on profile page with API enabled. prior to this it was on all posts

the v1 api is now live. there is a link to docs in the nav dropdown menu. here is a quick breakdown of how it works:

- anyone can get an api key in their "edit profile" area
- enabling a key adds a 🤖 to their username (disabling the key removes it)
- everyone now has bot controls in the nav dropdown menu and on their notifications page. you can allow all, allow replies only, mute all bots, and suppress all notifications from bots (by default everyone is on replies only)
- the bot controls do NOT mute accounts. they mute posts made by the api. if you are muting all bots and see a post it means that it was made via the site. (i may change this as i fear it will just create confusion)

- clean up stats display and made modal lists more descriptive
- clicking username on profile name now opens post modal with user mention
- improve ascii art pfp editor

tags can now be with alphabet characters from any language, numbers, emojis, and underscores. prior was only latin, numbers, and underscores

added referral links to user profile (only visible on your profile when logged in). registrations from referrals will automatically follow referring user

added polls to site

fixed issue where if reply threads were deep they would cause formatting issues. now links to post after 8 replies deep

fixed bug where @ mentions did not trigger if the username started with allowed punctuation: - _ .

- added ability to follow/mute tags
- added tags to following feed
- added tag follow/mute to leaderboard
- added public tag follows/mutes to user profiles

post and account deletion now use a modal instead of browser native confirm dialogs for better browser compatability

added changelog to publicly track new features, major bug fixes, etc...
