How is session type made available in the federation? I wasn't aware that was shared on the protocol.
Im not sure, but on mastodon for example you will often see tusky, or web, etc at the bottom of post details. https://digitaldarkage.cc/@shortwavesurfer2009/110691099097120908
You can disable it, in the settings. Still a feature which shouldn't be there in my opinion.
Hmm good point. I guess it is optional though so on the client end you can probably avoid sending anything (or just spoof as "web" at worst).
I know mastodon has a checkbox to disable it from the server end.
