#microblog is pretty cool how it allows you to leave comments by logging into your fedi account and such.... But .... does it really need to have full account permissions?.... I'm not giving it that, sorry)

@thibaultmol Its creator @manton should be able to figure out what’s going on. Thinking about joining myself.

@manton @sha
Q: is there a way that you could request read access but without having access to my private mentions or is that not possible? (I haven't looked at the documentation)

@manton @sha actually, isn't that what
api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials is for?

@thibaultmol @sha We do call verify_credentials but auth has to happen first. However, there's a "profile" scope that I think will work without actually getting access to posts or DMs. That's what I'm switching to for this case.
