   Holy _crap_ what #Diaspora has an intricate and insane base64-riddled and extremely incompatible #Salmon slap "extension". Horrible crap is what it is. At least according to https://wiki.diasporafoundation.org/Federation_protocol_overview

     !GNUsocial code for #Diaspora is nearing one-way salmon slap compatibility. Just in time for !gscamp.

     @mmn Take this base64 string, wrap it in JSON, base64 encode *that*, and embed it in an XML tag? Yikes! Good luck with that! O_O

     Don't forget that you're supposed to encrypt the JSON and then base64 _URL_ encode it!
     (base64 URL encoding is base64 encoding for people who don't know how to escape text properly! It is identical with base64 except your replace / and + with _ and -).

     @mmn It's almost like they're trying to use all of their string processing libraries at once. Get some CSV & YAML in there, stat!
