this is my fork of r's [bloatfe](https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat) - it's a lightweight web client for mastodon/pleroma, two commonly used ActivityPub servers.
other than a couple layout tweaks, it adds the following features:
* render mastodon-style "spoilers" / content warnings
* route network traffic through a socks5 proxy
if you want to run it for yourself, see INSTALL file for r's original instructions.
<br>you probably don't have a socks proxy running on port 8080 on your local machine, so comment out lines 41-45 in main.go or set the url on line 41 to a valid proxy url.
