pleroma is pretty... wide if you get my gist and it's time to take some of the functionality round the back of the shed

to purge

LDAP auth (??? why is this even in here?)
scrobbling (???? the IHBA DB has seen precisely 2 scrobbles ever, in its 4 years of existing)
deprecated endpoints (there's a lot)
...?

LDAP auth (??? why is this even in here?)

LDAP is used by people do have a single login for several services. I use it for having a central user system so that I can provision an account that gives access to Matrix, fedi, xmpp, nextcloud, etc.

don't worry, you'll still be able to use it
it just won't be part of the core

there we go, when the time comes for the purge to hit stable, you'll want to add https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma-contrib-authenticator-ldap to your runtime modules

Ah, right! Yeah, I missed the part of "why is it in core" instead of an extension/plugin/etc. Thank you for trimming down the core of akkoma <3

crie i was the one that originally made and merged mascots into mainline

but yes it's near-undocumented and near-unused so we can probably strip out a lot of it

ended up reverting the ldap purge since we'd have to include the erlang dependency anyhow
it'll be less work to just keep it there
