* 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 |

README.md
Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub where users can follow friends and discover new ones. On Mastodon, users can publish anything they want: links, pictures, text, video. All Mastodon servers are interoperable as a federated network (users on one server can seamlessly communicate with users from another one, including non-Mastodon software that implements ActivityPub)!

Features
No vendor lock-in: Fully interoperable with any conforming platform
It doesn't have to be Mastodon, whatever implements ActivityPub is part of the social network! Learn more
Real-time, chronological timeline updates
See the updates of people you're following appear in real-time in the UI via WebSockets. There's a firehose view as well!
Media attachments like images and short videos
Upload and view images and WebM/MP4 videos attached to the updates. Videos with no audio track are treated like GIFs; normal videos are looped - like vines!
Safety and moderation tools
Private posts, locked accounts, phrase filtering, muting, blocking and all sorts of other features, along with a reporting and moderation system. Learn more
OAuth2 and a straightforward REST API
Mastodon acts as an OAuth2 provider so 3rd party apps can use the REST and Streaming APIs, resulting in a rich app ecosystem with a lot of choices!
Deployment
Tech stack:
- Ruby on Rails powers the REST API and other web pages
- React.js and Redux are used for the dynamic parts of the interface
- Node.js powers the streaming API
Requirements:
- PostgreSQL 9.5+
- Redis 4+
- Ruby 2.5+
- Node.js 10.13+
The repository includes deployment configurations for Docker and docker-compose, but also a few specific platforms like Heroku, Scalingo, and Nanobox. The stand-alone installation guide is available in the documentation.
A Vagrant configuration is included for development purposes.
