* Add support for followers synchronization on the receiving end
Check the `collectionSynchronization` attribute on `Create` and `Announce`
activities and synchronize followers from provided collection if possible.
* Add tests for followers synchronization on the receiving end
* Add support for follower synchronization on the sender's end
* Add tests for the sending end
* Switch from AS attributes to HTTP header
Replace the custom `collectionSynchronization` ActivityStreams attribute by
an HTTP header (`X-AS-Collection-Synchronization`) with the same syntax as
the `Signature` header and the following fields:
- `collectionId` to specify which collection to synchronize
- `digest` for the SHA256 hex-digest of the list of followers known on the
receiving instance (where “receiving instance” is determined by accounts
sharing the same host name for their ActivityPub actor `id`)
- `url` of a collection that should be fetched by the instance actor
Internally, move away from the webfinger-based `domain` attribute and use
account `uri` prefix to group accounts.
* Add environment variable to disable followers synchronization
Since the whole mechanism relies on some new preconditions that, in some
extremely rare cases, might not be met, add an environment variable
(DISABLE_FOLLOWERS_SYNCHRONIZATION) to disable the mechanism altogether and
avoid followers being incorrectly removed.
The current conditions are:
1. all managed accounts' actor `id` and inbox URL have the same URI scheme and
netloc.
2. all accounts whose actor `id` or inbox URL share the same URI scheme and
netloc as a managed account must be managed by the same Mastodon instance
as well.
As far as Mastodon is concerned, breaking those preconditions require extensive
configuration changes in the reverse proxy and might also cause other issues.
Therefore, this environment variable provides a way out for people with highly
unusual configurations, and can be safely ignored for the overwhelming majority
of Mastodon administrators.
* Only set follower synchronization header on non-public statuses
This is to avoid unnecessary computations and allow Follow-related
activities to be handled by the usual codepath instead of going through
the synchronization mechanism (otherwise, any Follow/Undo/Accept activity
would trigger the synchronization mechanism even if processing the activity
itself would be enough to re-introduce synchronization)
* Change how ActivityPub::SynchronizeFollowersService handles follow requests
If the remote lists a local follower which we only know has sent a follow
request, consider the follow request as accepted instead of sending an Undo.
* Integrate review feeback
- rename X-AS-Collection-Synchronization to Collection-Synchronization
- various minor refactoring and code style changes
* Only select required fields when computing followers_hash
* Use actor URI rather than webfinger domain in synchronization endpoint
* Change hash computation to be a XOR of individual hashes
Makes it much easier to be memory-efficient, and avoid sorting discrepancy issues.
* Marginally improve followers_hash computation speed
* Further improve hash computation performances by using pluck_each
* Change how CDN_HOST is passed down to make assets build reproducible
* Change webpacker/webpack configuration to dynamically load publicPath based on meta header
* Fix embedded layout missing the cdn-host meta header
* Add notification permission handling code
* Request notification permission when enabling any notification setting
* Add badge to notification settings when permissions insufficient
* Disable alerts by default, requesting permission and enable them on onboarding
There are edge cases where requests to certain hosts timeout when
using the vanilla HTTP.rb gem, which the goldfinger gem uses. Now
that we no longer need to support OStatus servers, webfinger logic
is so simple that there is no point encapsulating it in a gem, so
we can just use our own Request class. With that, we benefit from
more robust timeout code and IPv4/IPv6 resolution.
Fix#14091
Fixes#14862
This used to be the case until #13987, which introduced a hotkey to toggle
the Content Warning field.
Unfortunately, MacOS relies on the “alt” key for many things, including
composing text (see #14862), therefore, even if that makes the CW toggle
hotkey significantly less useful, it makes sense to not interfere with
composing toots.
* Add bell button
Fix#4890
* Remove duplicate type from post-deployment migration
* Fix legacy class type mappings
* Improve query performance with better index
* Fix validation
* Remove redundant index from notifications
* Add paragraph about browser add-ons when encountering some errors
When a crash is caused by a NotFoundError exception, add a paragraph
to the error page mentioning browser add-ons.
Indeed, crashes with NotFoundError are often caused by browser extensions
messing with the DOM in ways React.JS can't recover from (e.g. issues #13325
and #14731).
* Reword error messages
* Do not serve account actors at all in limited federation mode
When an account is fetched without a signature from an allowed instance,
return an error.
This isn't really an improvement in security, as the only information that was
previously returned was required protocol-level info, and the only personal bit
was the existence of the account. The existence of the account can still be
checked by issuing a webfinger query, as those are accepted without signatures.
However, this change makes it so that unallowed instances won't create account
records on their end when they find a reference to an unknown account.
The previous behavior of rendering a limited list of fields, instead of not
rendering the actor at all, was in order to prevent situations in which two
instances in Authorized Fetch mode or Limited Federation mode would fail to
reach each other because resolving an account would require a signed query…
from an account which can only be fetched with a signed query itself. However,
this should now be fine as fetching accounts is done by signing on behalf of
the special instance actor, which does not require any kind of valid signature
to be fetched.
* Fix tests
* Check for and record reblog info atomically
Instead of using ZREVRANK to determine whether a reblog is a new reblog or not,
use ZADD's NX option to perform the check/addition option atomically.
* Replace ZREVRANK call with ZSCORE key which is more efficient
* Make tests a bit stricter
* Fix off-by-one
