One step towards:

https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Sticky_Posts

To have a better way of communicating in-medium about proposals and instance governance stuff since announcements are effectively invisible and you can't discuss things underneath them anyway. It would be lovely to have sticky posts in home and local feeds. To make that not horrible we need to be able to collapse them down really tiny so they aren't obtrusive. To make that work we need to have something to show when they're collapsed, and a title sounds like a good idea.

Additionally, if posts have titles and you can shrink them down very tiny, then we can also get something like a forum where the post title serves as a "thread" within the "category" of the title.

Additionally Additionally we can make another tab drawer on someone's account that serves more as a longform blog, with all their titled posts

Summary:

New input field based on content warning for titles
Slugs derived from titles on status creation
Deduplicating slugs within an account
Generating urls for titles posts and using them throughout
Serializing title as HTML in plaintext, markdown, and HTML mode
- slug and title are separate fields from text in the REST serialization,
- content is the rendered HTML, as masto usually does.
New /accounts/:username/slugs/:slug endpoint to get a single status by slug
HAML templates use titles in page titles and use the slugified url in the head metadata

TODO:

[ ] How does it federate?
