mastodon.gamedev.place is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
Mastodon server focused on game development and related topics.

Server stats:

I created an app that allows you to find people from other Mastodon instances based on hashtags you both like.

Why do you need write permission?

@vpol to follow people. However, it should only require write:follow

@vpol just double checked and indeed it asks for write, not just write:follow. I will fix this ASAP.

Thanks for reporting.

@bitbraindev @vpol Would it be possible to just ask for read initially and only ask for "write:follow" when someone requests it?

I'm hesitant to authorize an unknown creator's app to that access and would rather just follow people myself

@voxpelli @vpol great feedback. I will defer permissions until the moment they are really required.

Note: this app is fully local so when granting access it will only do it for your browser. There is no backend/server. Still good to defer permissions. 👍
