in 2023 i have decided to become worse and more unhinged and more of a hater. maybe i will start yelling and biting. i am going chihuahua mode --@punished_cait

Still on vacation. Fixed some bugs in django-cast:

• The slim version of jQuery broke the comments feature
• API overview was broken due to a broken reverse lookup for 'image_list'
• Fixed a bad spam filter bug and recorded a stream fixing it. This was the first programming stream I recorded after about a year and it was surprisingly difficult to get the whole setup up and running again 😆. And it worked: No false positive "ham" comments since 2023-01-04 (should make a badge out of this..)
• New django-cast release 0.2.1

Other packages:

• Made the frontend tests work again for fastdeploy. Had to remove vue3-jest from jest.config.js and I have no clue why.
• New release for django-indieweb adding a missing migration
