  • Oh, that kind is good. Constructive feedback is very valuable. But the fediverse is full of people dropping derogatory sarcastic comments or even reacting in rage, that aren't helpful in the slightest. I should've made that clearer in my first comment.

    Jump

  • There's no responsibility at all. There's also full freedom to complain however you wish. If you do that on someone's free work with which they try to help others, it just doesn't look very good on you. That's all.

  • One thing I don't get. Among the gazilion "Oh, it is sooo easy to do this better" complainers are countless developers and designers. This whole Mastodon thing is Free Software, where countless people spent some of their free time and energy to give you what there is today. Complainer devs and UX folks, are your PR's getting rejected?

  • That second comment by goplayoutside says it well: "Maybe the modest technical hurdles are a feature, not a bug."

    I think it is a feature, and the same is true for Mastodon and the Fediverse as a whole, imho.

  • Lemmy shows how Fediverse-connected message boards can work. So is it time for a Fediverse-connected general purpose message board platform (like phpBB)? Is anyone working on this?

    Jump

  • Pavilion had early plans to create a plugin, and applied for a NLnet grant. When that wasn't accepted they put their plans in the freezer. It is only recently, after The Muskening™ that they picked up on it again.

    See this post on the Discourse Meta forum about the plans.

  • What's The Key Quality of The Grassroots Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Indeed. "Sense of community" is an aspect where additional socio-technical support native to the Fediverse can be quite helpful. We have the basics now. There's work to add Groups support, but community is more than just groups. It has intricate and meaningful relationships between many other groups and people. Just like in real life.

  • 🚨 ActivityPub Client and C2S Support

    Jump

  • Ah, that is due to the particular app that is being used, called Bovine. @helge@mymath.rocks (also not directly browser-accessible) wrote:

    🚨🚨🚨 DON'T! This suggestion leads to Spaghetti Architecture.

    First, Client to Server specifies how to one client talks to one server. This change is about one Client (in a browser) talking to a lot of servers, breaking the Servers talk to Servers, a Client talks to the Server it's a client of, pattern.

    Second, this change allows clients (in browsers) to circumvent blocking. If you block a server domain, you don't want the clients to fallback to getting the information directly from you.

    So please, do not implement this change; and if you have this type of CORS header set, consider removing them.

  • For readers the follow-up to the same toot is relevant as well. First reply is "Don't do this".

  • Much appreciated, thank you very much. Esp. the attention to having good docs is a delight in the otherwise under-documented maze of fedi development.

  • Towards federated git collaboration

    Jump

  • With Gitea Ltd sudden incorporation, the soft fork of Gitea launched as Forgejo (which is what Codeberg now runs on) most of the forge federation efforts have shifted in that direction, as it offers the highest guarantees of remaining to the public benefit. Gitea has received a NLnet grant to add federation support, but it is unknown to what extent they are actively working towards implementing its goals. Those interested to learn more can join the Forge Federation general chatroom on Matrix.

  • Yes, I think people should skip to the "We have to keep going" section of the article to put the previous text in better context.

  • FEP 1b12: Group federation was finalized!

    Jump

  • Thank you for your participation in the FEP process. I am really happy to see this finalized, and also that Fediverse Enhancement Proposals is picking up steam to bring more standardization to the Fediverse.

  • Is there a federated alternative to letterboxd (social movie review platform)?

    Jump

  • I have happy news in that regard. We have migrated the watchlists to the Delightful Project on Codeberg. And they are rendered on the Delightful Club website.

  • Quote toots are now on Mastodon's road map

    Jump

  • Besides someone opting in, I hope that the person being quote-tooted also receives notification of that and maybe even notiications of all replies on the quote toot. This so it isn't a mechanism to "talk behind someone's back" which by leaving someone unaware makes it more suited tool for abuse.

  • SSPL is source-available, and not open source. There was lotsa discussion about the SSPL license, which was created by MongoDB, and it is a complex matter with all kinds of judicial angles. In summary it mainly benefits Mongo most of all, whose 'open source passion' is marketing-speak mostly. I forgot a lot of ins and outs, but just dug up a random find about downsides (2 parts) and impact.
