thursday! patch notes! light week this week because there’s some Big stuff in here! colin’s internet was out yesterday and jae’s hands stopped working so we’re late but whatever! here’s what’s new:

  • you can now change your page handle!
    • visit your page settings!
    • limited to one change per page per day so try to avoid typos
    • this required a fairly substantial refactor to become possible but we did it!
  • added private user notes for individual pages
  • fixed a bug where pinned tags would appear on private pages
  • made more behind the scenes changes to our moderation tooling
  • accidentally broke the entire website while trying to fix the bug around getting logged out too quickly
    • good news is it’s fixed now

you can change your own handle now.

go to your page settings to do so!

limited to once per day, so watch for typos (but you only gotta live with a typo for 24 hours if one does happen)

jess: “hide this post” button, so you can hide copies of posts you’re tired of seeing!

curious about how "hidden" this will become - will there be a list of posts you've hidden so you can like, go back and un-hide posts if needed/wanted?

added private user notes for individual pages

ayy my suggestion got implemented thank you

also love how the handle change thing also respects the time format settings

You may change your handle up to once every 1000 beats.

I personally use them to take notes on why I have someone blocked or muted, since my reasons for doing so range from "they have an ambiguous DNI and I'm removing my ability to interact with them just to be safe" to "they're an actual jerk." It helps if, say, I learn that someone I muted interacted with me and I want to get context for why I muted them before I decide to interact back.

Also, some people have a hard time remembering who's who, especially when people change their avatars and now their handles. So now they can have notes on who someone is that persist through avatar/handle changes!

as @bazelgeuze-apologist said,

i initially requested the feature as my memory is BAD so I just straight up forget who people are unless I add a lil note like "that one guy with the funny hat who sent me a bird pic once" or something

Thanks for the explanation! I figured since the feature wasn't being restricted to Plus subscribers that it had to be useful, but didn't have the imagination to see how.

our plan right now is going to be having it hide just the original post and shares, not replies (shares with added text) -- then adding another option down the line to hide replies as well.

Now that Kara's getting onboarded, is there a timeframe for when y'all might have the final wording on the adult content guidelines ready to share? I'd like to evangelize the site more towards NSFW creators but I've been putting it off until that's done (just because I don't want to make people promises based on a policy that might change in the near future)
