NodeBB v4.0.0 — Buon divertimento in federazione, dai!
Oggi è il gran giorno!
Dopo quasi un anno intero di sviluppo, è stata rilasciata la versione 4.0.0 di NodeBB, che porta la federazione tra le istanze di NodeBB (e una connessione al più ampio fediverso dei social media) nel software del forum
community.nodebb.org/post/1027…
NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!
Today's the day! :tada:After nearly a full year in development, NodeBB v4.0.0 has landed, bringing federation between NodeBB instances (and a connection to the wider fediverse of social media) to forum software.
Fedi-what?
Fediverse! Here's a TechCrunch primer about it, but at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. All you need to know is that NodeBB plugs in to a wider social network so that you don't have to cultivate an audience, they're already there.The genesis
It was back in mid-2023 when I had the initial idea of interconnecting NodeBB forums. Back then, I had far smaller ambitions... I wanted a singular NodeBB to be able to communicate with other forums running NodeBB. To do that, we'd need to build out a centralized service to act as a bridge between instances, and corresponding slim clients on individual installs to consume the relayed data. At the time, concept like decentralization were not even part of my thought process.It was during this period when I was doing my research that I stumbled on Mastodon, and later, ActivityPub, the protocol that powers it all. Since then, it's been one wild ride getting NodeBB to speak the same language.
Funding
Soon after dipping my toes into all that Mastodon had to offer, I discovered the NLNet Foundation, and their corresponding fund — NGI Zero Core. With the promise of funding, NodeBB could fully commit to implementing the protocol in short order, instead of piece by piece over time. We sent in an application and were delighted to be approved for the August 2023 call.Their funding was instrumental in providing the financial stability to experiment with ActivityPub and to participate in developer circles, such as the SWICG, FediForum, and much more.
The fund continues to operate, perhaps you could benefit, or donate to the cause. It has certainly made a difference to NodeBB.
Federate, or not, it's your choice
NodeBB v4 comes shipped with the capability to interact with other NodeBB forums and any other ActivityPub-speaking software, right out of the box. We opted to make this a core feature instead of a plugin, since there were many changes made to core to support even the concept of accepting content from outside itself.To that end, any users upgrading from v3.x will automatically have federation disabled, in order to reduce surprise. Any new forums will federate automatically.
You can turn federation on and off (and adjust some other fun toggles) directly from
ACP > Settings > Federation (ActivityPub)
.Even after turning federation on, how you use it shapes how well connected you will be. There is no centralized authority artificially boosting your content, so the name of the game is establishing two-way follow relationships to other sites.
The ActivityPub Equalizer
We're not alone in this journey to interoperate with other decentralized services. We're not even the only forum software to attempt to do so.
- Discourse has a working plugin.
- Ghost is building out in the open.
I specifically highlight these two because they both started in the early 2010s, same as NodeBB. It's always been a bit of an informal competition between us, and we always checked in on what the others were doing (growth-wise, pricing-wise, etc.) Truth be told, I don't think the ghost team ever really noticed NodeBB, but I digress...
The funny thing about ActivityPub is that at the end of the day, the overarching goal of seamless communication breaks down any barriers between competing organizations.
NodeBB and Discourse have been vying for the exact same market share (forums, community-building, self-started or enterprise) for over 10 years, and it was only after ActivityPub came around that the dev teams even started talking to one another.
Funny how that works.
So how does it all work?
Our documentation portal has been updated with the latest information about the ActivityPub functionality in v4.If you have any questions about how it works or how to configure some aspect of it, please don't hesitate to reach out in the corresponding v4 support thread.
If you run NodeBB, the quickest way to see this in action is to upgrade to v4, and then paste this post's URL into your search bar. It should show up automatically, and you should be able to read and reply to it, directly from your own forum. Neat!

@Lorenzo no, se guardi con attenzione ti accorgerai che anche il secondo post è stato categorizzato correttamente.
Ma poi è stato spostato dal moderatore @julian tra i non categorizzati (siamo sinceri: il post non era molto attinente: ringrazia che non ti abbia bannato 🙄)

@jorgecandeias Really? You don’t know anyone who uses Reddit? Or Facebook Groups? Or Steam Discussions? Or Tom’s Hardware forums?
Not one of them uses a forum anymore?
Hope you're right. I just don't see anyone in my circle using forums anymore. All of those I hang around in back in the day died pretty much as social media took off.
@jorgecandeias Oh, they’re dead? Let me check on that.
Here’s one: forums.tomshardware.com
Here’s another one: linustechtips.com/
Here’s another one: forums.atariage.com
Man, if forums are dead, how come I keep finding them?!
Tom's Hardware Forum
Join the discussion about the latest in computer hardware, software, and gadgets in the Tom's Hardware Community! Catch everything from expert opinion to casual buzz in our community of millions.Tom's Hardware Forum
I'm talking about independent forums. Facebook groups is precisely what killed them (reddit not so much, among the people I know). That and orkut.
As far as I know, those use their own software.
@jorgecandeias All right, you made a big claim: that Facebook Groups “killed” bulletin boards and they’re all dead.
I had to verify if what you were saying was true. And it seems they’re still alive and kicking.
Go ahead and move goal posts by saying they’re less “relevant”—but that’s a whole lot different from saying they’re dead.
Jorge, you made an extraordinary claim, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
dude, that attitude is totally uncalled for, you know?
You know full well they're WAY less relevant than they were in their hayday, you're just arguing for the sake of it. I got much better things to do with my time than arguing with you on this.
Again, I HOPE your're right and this is really a major plus to the fediverse. I'm skeptical, but we'll see, won't we? The future will tell, so arguing about this is just daft.
@jorgecandeias Okay, Jorge, something you got to understand about me is that I tend to take things very literally. So when someone says, “Facebook killed forums,” I take them at face value.
In other words, I do not read between the lines. I don’t see whatever is not unsaid. If you make a catch-all statement, I’m going to assume you’re being literal about it.
Have yourself a wonderful day, and take care. 🌼
Re: NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!
@thomasjwebb@mastodon.social definitely do it, it's a force multiplier in getting your content out, especially if you've built up an audience.
Discourse's AP integration is currently partially two-way. New topics and posts are federated outward to the fediverse, and replies federate in. There's currently no facility to discover new content from the fediverse and interact with it from Discourse.
From the start I've wanted NodeBB to be the fediverse client I use, so it supports full two-way communication with content discovery (via the dedicated /world
page) from followed users.

Oblomov reshared this.
no, I never claimed no such thing. I said they killed all the forums *I* used to hang around. It's a massively different statement.
And this is why I'm not interested in continuing to talk with you. Next time try to reply to what's actually being said.
Ciao.
There's nothing "between the lines" in what I wrote:
"I just don't see anyone in MY circle using forums anymore. All of those I HANG AROUND IN back in the day died pretty much as social media took off."
Verbatim quotes, caps added now for clarity.
It's very much all in the lines. All over the lines.

Re: NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!
@julian Amazing stuff.
Congratulations!!
I have some questions, probably because I am still trying to understand this activitypub thing.
1- If I write this reply here, that means is now public and can be read on other mastodon/activitypub servers/locations?
2- I saw people replying to you on another mastodon servers and their comments appear on the forum as replies, which is amazing, but, can they delete their messages on their mastodon server? And if they can, will that deletion be sent across and be removed from the database of this forum?
3- I also see that the people that replied, got an user and a profile on this forum, will they know about it? can they login and do something about that user? How do you identify "created social users" from "standard registered users" on your nodebb install?
Thanks!

I've just installed a new instance of NodeBB and it works beautifully. Some questions:
- Is it possible for categories to follow Lemmy communities in their sync settings? I seem to be able to follow Lemmy communities, but the categories are stuck on pending.
- Same for NodeBB categories. Can I sync my own category with remote NodeBB categories?
Edit: the URLs stuck on pending are giving "invalid-id" errors in the log. As in invalid activitypub ids. I pasted the URLs of some Lemmy communities and NodeBB categories.

Release v2.4.5 of Ktistec
Ktistec release v2.4.5 rolls out the build time and executable size optimizations I've been blogging about here. It also fixes a few small bugs.
Fixed
- Handle @-mentions with hosts in new posts.
- Handle HEAD requests for pages with pretty URLs.
- Destroy session after running scripts.
Changed
- Delete old authenticated sessions.
I've started a branch full of query optimizations. My general rule—as highlighted in the server logs—is if a query takes longer than 50msec, it takes too long. It's time to address some problems...

Release v2.4.5 · toddsundsted/ktistec
Fixed Handle @-mentions with hosts in new posts. Handle HEAD requests for pages with pretty URLs. Destroy session after running scripts. Changed Delete old authenticated sessions. Other Reduct...GitHub
The Ktistec executable is now ~24.7% smaller and build times are 28% faster.I've been blogging about optimizations here, here, and here. This is the summary of the final outcome, with links to commits for the curious. I have one more post planned with a summary of my thoughts.
Here's my approach. Use
nm
to dump the symbols in a release build executable and then look for things that seem redundant. The first change and associated post below is a great example of what I mean—my original implementation led to the specialization of the#==
method for every pairwise combination of model classes even though the result of the comparison was justfalse
.This might seem like a strange approach if you come from a compiled language where you mostly write all of the code yourself or invoke generics explicitly, but Crystal takes your code and does that for you. And it's not always obvious up front (to me, at least) what the final cost will be.
I've include counts of the lines added/removed because the point of this whole post is to say if you measure first and then optimize, a small change can have a big impact.
Here are the changes:
- Specialize model
#==
. (+7 -5)
I talked about this here but didn't have the commit to link to. This change results in a large reduction in executable size on regular builds (~4.0%) and a small difference on release builds (~0.2%).- Remove conversion to
Hash
. (+2 -2)
This commit eliminates specialization of methods like__for_internal_use_only
that get passed both named tuples and hashes by going all in with named tuples. It also eliminates instantiations of theHash
generic type itself for these cases. Reduces executable size by ~2.2%.- Eliminate duplicate code in the executable. (+3 -3)
This small change reduces the size of the executable by a further ~0.4% by eliminating redundant definitions of__for_internal_use_only
entirely.- Make
InstanceMethods
instance methods. (+1 -5)
This was a goofy design I picked up somewhere. It's unnecessary. Changing this saves ~0.2% on release build executable size.- Move the code for digging through JSON-LD. (+246 -281)
It looks like a lot of lines of code changed here, but the large numbers are the result of moving code line-by-line from an included module to a utility class. Invoking these as methods on the utility class rather than as instance methods on each including class reduces the executable size by ~0.5%.- Use
map
from base ActivityPub model classes. (+10 -2)map
is a class method defined on each ActivityPub base model class. Each definition maps JSON-LD to a hash that is used to instantiate the class. Class methods defined on a base class are available on subclasses, as well. Calling the method on the subclass results in a copy of the method. This change reduces the executable size by ~5.8%.- Move
map
into helper. (+104 -88)
Themap
method does not depend on class/instance state. This change ensures that the mapping code is not duplicated even if a subclass'smap
method is accidentally again called. It looks like a lot of changes but this commit is mostly reorganization. It reduces executable size by ~0.4%.- Replace classes with aliases. (+62 -148)
Implementing ActivityPub's vocabulary with discrete model classes is expensive because every model class comes with machinery for type-specific CRUD operations. Enumerate aliases on each base model class (e.g. a "Service" is an "Actor"). This change reduces executable size by ~16.9%.I'm off to optimize some queries now...

@versodiverso esattamente. Purtroppo però sono certo che fintanto che istituzioni ed editoria non entreranno in modo muscolare nel fediverso, questo resterà ancora troppo di nicchia e poco attrattivo per il pubblico generalista.
Poi c'è anche chi è contento di questa piega, ma secondo me è una prospettiva miope
Nel discorso "scappiamo da facebook" non sento parlare dei soldi.
Molte aziende spendono IMPORTANTI cifre in pubblicità su piattaforme chiuse come Google, Meta e TikTok.
Cosa succede al "costo di acquisizione" se passiamo a piattaforme libere senza pubblicità?

Il fiume di "social media managers" dovrebbe reinventarsi in maniera radicale. Bisognerebbe trovare soluzioni innovative di pubblicità.
Vedo difficile tutto questo perché ci sono troppi soldi in gioco.
Quindi i "poteri" faranno in modo di accontentare gli animi con una migrazione, ma sarà verso una piattaforma dove è possibile pagare per fare pubblicità.

@cescobarresi l'articolo in questione, come da premessa, riguarda l'utente di natura non commerciale, perché ovviamente l'utente professionale è vincolato ancora di più: l'utente professionale ha investito mesi o anni per padroneggiare le strategie di comunicazione e quelle di analisi dei feedback e sa bene che nei prodotti meta trova la cassetta degli attrezzi perfetta.

Giusto. Ci dovrebbe essere una sensibilizzazione maggiore sul fatto che le pubblicità personalizzate dei social funzionino tanto quanto le pubblicità contestualizzate, ma costano molto di più! In questa maniera potrebbero nascere nuove forme di coinvolgimento alternative all'estrattivismo digitale di adesso

@Let66 in realtà sono questi i motivi spiegati all'interno dell'articolo, tranne l'ultimo che semplicemente non è vero. La presunta facilità di Facebook lo è semplicemente a causa del fatto che le persone sono abituate a utilizzarlo da anni e, peraltro, ne utilizzano solo una piccolissima porzione di funzionalità

Per esempio, ci sono diversi Comuni che usano FB per per comunicazioni e informazioni inerenti il Comune. Non lo trovo giusto e tantomeno corretto, perché in questo modo costringono il cittadino a farsi un account su una piattaforma privata e ad accettare i suoi termini d'uso, se non vuole essere tagliato fuori dalle discussioni inerenti scelte politiche e amministrative di un Comune.

Molti sono schiavi di una strattura e di una prospettiva di vita che viene ventuta bene.
FB ne e' un esempio.
L'errore e' voler replicare il sistema invece di superarlo.
Ma se si educano gli utenti fuori e dentro la rete ad una concezione delal esistenza prona a certi meccanismi, allora saremo smepre scahivi di certi privati, insusi e di una cerchia di persone che non ambisce affatto all'umana evoluzione.

Mi sa che ci siano pochi dubbi sul fatto che la mozilla foundation sia solo la foglia di fico di google nei confronti dell'antitrust. L'immagine e' quella di una fondazione a difesa della riservatezza degli utenti e, nel frattempo, l'ultima trovata e' l'inserimento della pubblicità direttamente gestita dal browser (ma sempre rispettosa dell'utente):
support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/p…
E pensare che avevo anche comprato il loro telefono e uso ininterrottamente il browser da quando si chiamava ancora netscape navigator!
Il grande problema e' che un'alternativa a questi 3 (derivati da chromium, firefox e quelli derivati da webkit) browser non vedo come possa emergere per l'imponenza degli standard che un browser deve supportare.
Qualcheduno ci sta anche provando:
Penso sia uno sforzo velleitario, ma spero che il mio pessimismo sia mal riposto.

Il ragionamento fila, ma stai assumendo (lo assume anche la mozilla) che il WWW sia quasi esclusivamente solo un luogo dove fare soldi; ti assicuro che, prima che queste aziende lo trasformassero in un supermercato, non era cosi' e ci si divertiva ugualmente! 😁

Mi riferisco principalmente al fatto che mettere a disposizione un qualunque servizio, anche solo un blog, costa bei soldini, oltre al tempo necessario. Se anche "non voglio fare soldi" ma andare solo in pari, delle risorse bisogna tirare su, che sia pubblicità, donazioni o "abbonamenti" il punto resta, o sbaglio?

Secondo me non sbagli affatto. Il problema, a mio avviso, è quando fare pubblicità diventa il fine e non il mezzo. Come dice absc, il principale problema è il tracciamento, ma anche l'idea che il browser sia un agente (e qui firefox e' in testa alla corsa) non piu' dell'utente ma dei pubblicitari, mi sembra lo sia; non a caso ho usato la parola "supermercato", intendendo come merci anche i dati di chi usa certi siti internet e - secondo mozilla - di chi usa tutti i siti internet, potenzialmente.
E, parlando di costi, attivare un blog o un altro sito con contenuti testuali non e' costosissimo (e lo e' ancor meno se usi protocolli piu' parsimoniosi dell'HTTP); certo la situazione peggiora quando vuoi servire dei video (ad esempio), ma il costo diventa abnorme (non sostenibile da singoli, dai ricavi delle aziende che vendono prodotti o da piccoli gruppi/associazioni) quando decidi di centralizzare gli accessi su di un unica piattaforma; ma visto che ne parliamo qui, la faccenda penso che tu la conosca abbondantemente! 😁

Da persona con parenti stretti chr lavorano in ambito pubblicitario: la pubblicità in sè non è cattiva. Mostrarmi "qualcosa" sperando mi interessi non è malvagio in sè, se questo contribuisce a far funzionare un sito o piattaforma, magari interessanti.
È tutto l'ambaradan di tracciamento quando non sono nella TUA piattaforma il problema. Per dire, fornire dati anonimizzati ad un advertiser, limitatamente a quello che faccio sul tuo sito, potrebbe anche essere ok, come anche statistiche su quello che "piace". In quel caso, se non mi sta bene, potrei benissimo evitare di usare il tuo servizio, risolvendo il problema.
La rogna sono i fantastiliardi di shadow profiles a causa dei metadati che lasci in giro.
Poi possiamo discutere del fatto che troppi siti sono diventati inusabili, a causa dei quintali di AD sparpagliati su una sola pagina.
C'è il modo di fare buona pubblicità online, IMHO, ma i profitti sarebbero piú bassi, no buono per Wall Street.
C'è da dire, poi, che convincere la gente a cacciare i soldi è una bella pena.

Secondo me per mantenere un controllo su uno strumento mediatico per poterlo condizionare e plasmare secondo orientamenti politici e sociali che fanno più comodo ad una ristretta élite.

@alfredon996 in teoria la decentralizzazione c'è, ma i costi di esercizio per creare un server blue sky sono molto elevati e sono al di là delle possibilità economiche della maggior parte dei server del fediverso
Anche se crei un server (relay) enorme, gli utenti non pubblicherebbero automaticamente i loro stati su quel relay, e ogni relay costituisce una comunità isolata. Pur essendo disposti a spendere tanti soldi, Bluesky rimane de facto centralizzata.

@alfredon996 ok ma, a parte che anche il fediverso stesso non è tecnicamente "decentralizzato" (è solo centralizzato in modo distribuito 😅), il punto è che l'architettura di ATProto sembra fatta per tutelare il server più grande (il server "ufficiale") e non prevede una vera federazione, ma solo un'interoperabilità tra server.

Non capisco se sia una notizia positiva o negativa per il fediverso. Credevo che il consenso fosse che AT vivesse solo per bluesky e che di conseguenza non fosse di fatto considerabile decentralizzato.
Non era meglio concentrare gli sforzi su ActivityPub che è già federato in partenza e con tante applicazioni esistenti?

Mi auguro di non avere la parola su dove altri concentrano i loro forze.
Per esempio io sono abbastanza convinto che attualmente tutte le applicazioni con ActivityPub non fanno un buon lavoro di usabilità e onboarding. Se è davvero così, e proprio un spreco di forzare la gente qui per dopo lasciala delusa. Quindi avrei piuttosto che tutti lasciano i social dei big tech a favore di Bluesky. Così almeno si può interfacciare tramite BridgyFed.
Inoltre tutta questa campagna mette in evidenza il fatto che Mastodon è appena stato ceduto a un'ONG.

I respect and enjoy transparency, thanks.
Questions for Mastodon:
Will there be a trademark license from the Mastodon non-profit to Mastodon GmbH?
If so, what will be the terms of the license?
Why are you not assigning the domain names to the non-profit entity?
Why will there still be a for-profit company?
Who will be the officers and Board members of the two entities?
Honestly, I'd love to see Mastodon as a viable Twitter alternative, but by now I think it never will be. It's a completely different experience. When I open Mastodon, I see a maze of text, 3rd degree replies to I don't know what, and a star button that essentially nobody but me uses, because it does (almost) nothing.
I understand that some people like this type of experience, but me (and a lot of other ex twitter users who went to bluesky instead) would've preferred something else.
@David
That's nice if you liked it here, but me and all the other people ending up on bluesky wanted exactly the same but didn't get it here.
I use the star button like that too, but somehow almost nobody else does. When I check my feed, I see usually 0 stars, even for posts that have hundreds of reposts. For me this is just a gasping unused space.
Yeah, that's probably just the favourites not reaching your server. Favourites are mainly intended to just let the author know someone liked their post, and they do all reach the author.
In any case, "clout" isn't really valued on here as much as on other social networks so it's not worth looking at numbers but what people actually post.
@elexia
Well okay for a reference: check the above Mastodon posts. 400+ reposts and 5 stars? I don't think this button is much used...
Also: I don't follow the right people? I think that's the problem. If I get a bad experience so easily on this platform, and it's my fault if I don't improve it, this will keep people from using it. I understand that active Mastodon users like this, that's why they're (still) here. But there are many more people who don't, and these are on bsky now.
@elexia
My point here is that most people prefer less chaotic feeds and a more accessible interface and bsky managed this well while still giving *You* control over what you see. Mastodon could've done that too which would've made it eternally better, but they didn't.
Which seems to be fine for people who like to take the Mastodon deep dive, but terribly inconvenient for average Joe users like me.
Well it is here on my feed, it's my Mastodon experience. Do You want to deny my experience? Do you suggest my brain is "not made" for Mastodon? Sorry, but this sounds like intense gatekeeping. I shared my experience, I get that it's not the experience of people who are happy here, but it's the experience of people who tried it here but moved to bsky. If Mastodon is not interested in those people, that's fine. Then ppl will go to bluesky.
@urbanfoxe
Well, I don't think I can capture it in one image. I think the weird thing is that my feed is usually overflowing with very few very active users, and I get EVERYTHING these few active users do, be it original posts or comments to comments to comments. I like more original posts and more diversity in the posts I see.
In bsky, I have this neatly ordered due to feeds. If I want science, i get a science feed. If I want social, i check my friends feed. No suggestive algorithm. No chaos
@chiraag @DirkGutlin @urbanfoxe
I use lists a LOT.
But they are not intuitive to use, to build, to follow.
Mastodon has a lot of good features, but they are not easy to find.
I think the developers should put this on their wall, as a reminder:
IG? yes, it's the same with FB.
but there is a button to disable it. somewhere.😅
@DirkGutlin @urbanfoxe
yes, there is a problem for what i call the "passive users" (which btw most of the new users are by nature): people who posts rarely.
They don't have many followers, so their posts are not seen, but also their boosts are not seen and their likes are meaningless for visibility purposes.
Moreover at the beginning you naturally start to follow the people who post content that you like, but, what it is not said enough, is that you have to choose people not only for their content but also for their posting habits, otherwise your home will soon be filled with a lot of "noise" from compulsive posters/boosters
I tell you: I've been here since 2 years, I have 1400 follows, Eugen is here since the beginning and he has only 574: he knows how to select his sources
Likes count as interactions, and the algorithm pushes that content more (but less than shares).
Great to see the continued commitment to open, decentralised technologies in the EU specifically.
We have known for a long time, but it feels more prevalent than ever, that social media can not be controlled by the US. Looking forward to it!
And yes come to me with "communist" jokes here but that is how it should be.
Under what comes next, you are still promoting the "Fediscovery" project.
Despite it being described as supporting multiple "discovery providers", the text says »This will specify how an instance will “feed” content to a discovery provider to index. And how a discovery provider can be queried to actually search and discover content.«
Nothing is being said about why there would ever be a need for a more than a few big providers, once it is established that the big ones "work". As usual, centralization is looming here, by a few corps "generously" offering high-speed "discovery" for "free".
Also, nothing is said about providers sharing results of the indexing, to enable true fediverse-wide search - instead, the proposal almost inevitably points to a set of a few providers that everybody needs to feed if they want posts to be found.
"Hope" will not change that hence just saying »We want to specify how a discovery provider works and interfaces with a Fediverse server instance. We hope to inspire several competing implementations of the specification.« does not make much sense.
Nothing is said about who outside of the Fediverse gets to query a provider, or to process the data that has been extracted from a fediverse server feed - and for which purposes. It's even expressly mentioned that »These “providers” might serve other purposes than just search and discovery«
»The protocols and implementations will respect user privacy«, but the text only offers "shoulds":
- »Our reference implementation will respect this setting and only ingest content from creators who opted in to discovery in the first place.« (note the telling words "respect" and "ingest" here, it does not even seem consensus that providers are "fed" by Fediverse servers).
- »All other information a discovery provider gathers should be anonymous.« Should?
- »Fediverse Discovery Providers should only ever index content clearly marked as “public”.« Should?
- »Fediverse Discovery Providers should honor these settings and only index user data and content from users who have opted-into that.« Should?
Another red flag: »This means we might not always be able to incorporate all the feedback we get into the very first draft of everything we publish. But rest assured that we are committed to continue working on this even after this first project has ended, so we will be able to make adjustments later on.«
More privacy after the first implementation is out? And no: With Mastodon being the driver of this, and with the current wording, we can not "rest assured".

Who could say it any better? Social media has to be a part of our public infrastructure or else it is just a tool of public manipulation and oppression.
It is antithetical for social media to be owned by a corporation.
You should also consider changing hosting providers, outside the United States.
This is great.
What I find amazing and very frustrating is that even when opinion journalists address these issues seriously and thoughtfully they almost always fail to mention Mastodon -- as here:
"We need to support the creation of other platforms that are designed not to amplify lies and hate, or to just suck our personal data and sell us things, but to promote a better conversation."

whew! this is good. this is really, really good. had no idea Germany stripped y’all of the non-profit status and that’s why you had to incorporate in the US.
so this will ensure the USA has no jurisdiction over Mastodon the software company, the software, correct?
the only quibble would be the TLDs: .social and .online are controlled by USA providers. there’s still vulnerability to abuse of power with the TLDs being under USA jurisdiction.
it's difficult to take these steps right, with all the legal and organizational implications they carry.
I wish you good luck.
Mastodon is the platform that deserves our presence and attention (to followers over the skies).
Mastodon will "transfer ownership of key Mastodon ecosystem and platform components [ ] to a new non-profit organization, affirming the intent that Mastodon should not be owned or controlled by a single individual."

Feedback a caldissimo su NOSTR:
a suo tempo @informapirata ⁂ :privacypride: disse "occhio, Nostr è un protocollo interessante ma pieno di spazzatura".
Partendo dall'inizio: ho cercato sui motori di ricerca "come funziona Nostr" e il primo titolo è un video su un canale relativo alle criptovalute, di un tale Alessandro Mazza.
Alessandro lo spiega in modo abbastanza chiaro ma secondo me a un certo punto confonde, o almeno io mi sono sentita confusa quando ha parlato della chiave privata come "firma digitale", dicendo che è il modo di identificare un utente da un altro.
La "firma digitale" però è altra cosa - sempre crittografia ma ha valore legale e se uno si chiama all'anagrafe Severino Sparaballe, quella è legata al suo codice fiscale e (almeno in teoria) nessuno lo clona.
Nostr, invece, no.
Tu vai su un client che può essere SnortSocial o altri, ti crei la tua chiave pubblica e privata, gli dai un nome e stop! Ma puoi avere anche millantamila account con lo stesso pseudonimo.
Severino Sparaballe quindi ha la sua public e private key, associata a niente - nessun indirizzo email o altro dato e questo è interessante, specie se è uno che in rete parla di temi delicati e vuole tutelarsi da regimi e cose varie. Non si discute.
Poi però arriva Franco Onesti, rivelatore di segreti inconfessabili, si mette nome Severino Sparaballe, anche la foto del tizio in questione, chiave privata e pubblica nuove di palla, e manda in giro per Nostr l'opposto di quello che dice Severino reale, nessuno sarà in grado di distinguere chi sia quello vero da quello finto.
NIP-05: da quello che ho capito c'è modo di identificarsi con un nome "umanamente leggibile" con la chiocciola davanti, come quelli del Fediverso e c'è pure un plugin WordPress che ho installato per farlo. Non ho però idea se funzioni e come verificare se è andato davvero a buon fine.
Questione relay: se non ho capito male sono ancora più decentralizzati delle istanze, io del fediverso a volte ho perplessità perché non è detto ad esempio che i client mastodon funzionino anche con friendica, con nostr invece non hai problemi perché se ti colleghi a qualunque relay basta che tu abbia la chiave pubblica o privata, magari salvate in un'estensione browser, gli dici "login with extension" e vai dentro diretto.
Contenuti e spazzatura: io ho usato un client per iOS che si chiama Damus e mi sono trovata subito in home dei contenuti di estrema estremissima destra. Roba che manco l'algoritmo di Facebook mi fa.
Pazienza, sto studiando non ci sto interagendo; più che altro voglio capire quanto e se sia proponibile per trasmettere contenuti e le limitazioni, quanto e se siano pubblici, con la storia di Trump e Musk voglio capire con quali sistemi posso continuare a scrivere in modo libero in modo da avere meno probabilità di ricevere blocchi o oscuramenti "shadowban".
Fosse per me butterei su tutto su Nostr, curando i filtri; ma poi se uno ti deve seguire penso gli serva Nostr apposta.

Ma va, prova a creare un account su Amethyst! È a prova di utonto, sul serio.
Ti chiede solo un username, niente email, né password, né altro. È immediato ed è perfino più semplice che iscriversi sui social centralizzati tradizionali.
Nel fediverso invece è difficile per l'utente medio, tra scegliere la piattaforma, poi l'istanza (leggendo le regole di ognuna) inserire email, password, aspettare la verifica via mail dell'admin d'istanza ecc.
@shai qualsiasi ecosistema che minimizza la gestione dei dati personali deve usare l'autenticazione basata su nome utente e password. Anche la nostra istanza feddit.it non chiede email, ma necessita di questa autenticazione. Se fai a meno di autenticazione, devi compensare con un sistema di tracciamento che solitamente è invasivo sia per ragioni di autenticazione sia per ragioni di sfruttamento commerciale dei dati personali e comportamentali dell'utente

Naturalmente ne ho più di una, conservate in posti sicuri, perché se perdi o dimentichi il dispositivo da qualche parte e ne hai uno solo, ti trovi chiuso fuori.
Dopo? Ho la sensazione che si voglia un po' salvare capre e cavoli dappertutto: l'informatica di massa che induce le persone a usare la tecnologia in modo passivo illudendo che lo studio del computer e del suo funzionamento non sia più necessario. E dall'altra parte il diritto ad avere la privacy che confligge parecchio con la facilità d'uso.
IMHO è molto difficile che le tecnologie pro-privacy arrivino all'informatica di massa perché il mercato si muove dove un tema viene molto richiesto, ma per volerlo bisogna che la gente sia consapevole dell'urgenza che questo tema ha.
Ricordiamoci che la massa dei [parolaccia casuale] è quella che dice "Io? Privacy? Non ho niente da nascondere, non mi interessa!" E sparano nei social le foto anche di quando vanno in gabinetto. E dei loro figli minori.

Bluesky rumoured to be valued at 700M USD, adds Trending Topics, Graze talks about how to monetise custom feeds, and a persistent bot problem on Bluesky.
Last Week in Bluesky – 2025jan.aThe year has only just started, and already the owners of the current Big Tech social networks have made it abundantly clear why open social networks matter. While it was never really true that networks, such as Twitter, were neutral platforms, we could at least collectively agree to that polite fiction. But in 2025, social networks are political, and have political alignments. Over the holidays I’ve taken some time away from all of my socials, and it’s been nice to have some space for reflection. Two articles came out this week that touch on some of my thoughts. The first is Henry Farrell’s ‘We’re getting the social media crisis wrong’, in which Farrell says: “The fundamental problem, as I see it, is not that social media misinforms individuals about what is true or untrue but that it creates publics with malformed collective understandings.” He takes the perspective of information and how it shapes beliefs, but his core observation is powerful and worth repeating. In effect, social media is a tool of collective sense-making. We have let a few tech billionaires control our tools that we globally use to collectively make sense of the world, and it turns out that has some negative consequences, to put it mildly.
This is why I care about social networks, because they are one of the main tools that we use in 2025 to come to a collective understanding of how the world works. I think that it is bad that these extraordinary powerful tools are in the hands of a few fascist billionaires, allowing them unprecedented control over how society sees and understands the world. The value of open social networks is in creating new forms of governance for our collective sense making tools.
Bluesky Won’t Save Us by Katharina Alejandra Cross touches on more of the risks that having access to collective sense making tools bring, as well as the issues that Bluesky has to truly be a different place. I agree with all the major points here: Being on X is a severe risk for many reasons, but a major one is that it warps your perspective of collective thought, shaped by a fascist billionaire. Bluesky has struggled to adapt to what it wants to be exactly, and while it is clearly a much better place than X, it has not yet provided a good answer to the tension between building a safe (centralised) platform and a decentralised open protocol. Cross writes: “Our best hope, then, is that Bluesky acts as a halfway house—most especially for politicians, journalists, academics, influencers, and other people who clearly spend way too much time online to their detriment.” I also hope that Bluesky acts as a halfway house, although maybe in a slightly different way than Cross is talking about here. I think we need to invent new types of social networks that better serve their role as collective tools for sense-making. Bluesky is a good step in the right direction, but I think we can do more than ‘decentralised microblogging’. ATProto can provide a powerful substrate for people to experiment on with new forms of social networking, and I’m excited to see what 2025 will bring for that.
The News
Business Insider reports that Bluesky is now valued at 700 million USD, and that they are close to finishing another funding round, this time led by Bain Capital Ventures. It is not known how much money Bluesky would raise in this new round. The previous funding round, the series A, was led by Blockchain Capital for 15 million, just barely 3 months ago. The series A did not provide a valuation for Bluesky. The series A also was just before the massive inflow of new users following the results of the US election, and Bluesky has doubled its user base in the 3 months since, from 13 million to 26 million. The new inflow of users also led to significant extra costs for Bluesky, which quadrupled its moderation team from 25 to 100 people, as well as the additional technical costs that comes with the growing user base. Bluesky got critiqued during the previous funding round for Blockchain Capital’s ties with cryptocurrency. In Blockchain Capital’s investment thesis they describe investing in a ‘vision of social infrastructure’ more than investing into a specific product. Crypto-themed VC funds tend to be more open to investing into lower-level internet infrastructure. Bain Capital Ventures seems to be a more generic VC fund: it does not have the connections to crypto that a significant part of the Bluesky user base finds noxious, but does not have a clear indication of a willingness to invest in social infrastructure over products either.Bluesky has recently added Trending Topics as a new feature to their app. When you hit search on the app, you’ll now see a list of the most talked about topics. The feature is also visible in the Discover feed. Trending Topics has been a long-requested feature, and especially the Brazilian community was asking for it a lot during their time on Bluesky in fall 2024. The technological underpinning of how Trending Topics work on Bluesky is noteworthy: every trending topic is a custom feed. Every time a new topic is trending, a new custom feed gets created, giving the team better control over the topic. It also allows for new possibilities that have not yet been explored, such as archiving and documenting feeds after the trend is over, or other options that have not yet been explored. One of the more interesting trends on Bluesky is the emergence of (some) custom feeds as digital places, with Blacksky as the most notable example. I am interested in seeing how Trending Topics also being custom feeds interacts with that dynamic.
Graze is a tool for people to create their own custom feeds on ATProto. It has an extensive feature set allowing for a great amount of customisability, complex logic and the ability to moderate content that appears in a feed. Graze recently published their plans for monetisation. Graze says that the project is experiencing explosive growth, and is escalating quickly from a small gamble, with the tool now serving over 170k unique people every day. Graze expects that they can host 90-95% of custom feeds for free, and view it as a priority to keep making feeds as accessible as possible. Operating the infrastructure for custom feeds is not free however, and Graze plans to make money as follows: they will allow feed operators to run sponsored posts in their Graze feeds, at a cost specified by the feed operator. Feed operators are free to run their own sponsored content or find their own sponsors. If feed operators decide to monetise their custom feed, Graze will take a cut of the transaction. Graze has not specified yet how that transaction cost will be determined.
Bluesky has seen a large increase in the number of bot and spam accounts in recent weeks. There are roughly three groups of bots active: porn and romance scams, inauthentic accounts posing as Democratic defenders, content farms, and Russian disinformation networks. The Bluesky team has finally managed to crack down on the current spam wave. As spam is an eternal cat-and-mouse game between spammers and moderation, the reprieve is likely temporarily however. The spam has significant impact on how community moderation functions, as the tools that are available are not up to the task of handling such a massive inflow of reports. More automod functions are needed for community labeling projects to deal with the spam.
The Analysis
There are multiple connections between these four different news stories. Early in 2024, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber gave an interview with The Verge, in which she talked about potential ways for Bluesky to make money. She described the idea of marketplaces that Bluesky could operate, such as marketplaces for algorithms. While she did not go into much detail on this, the basic idea seemed to be that people could create valuable systems (algorithms, moderation layers, custom feeds) and sell access to those systems to other people. Bluesky could then potentially operate these marketplaces, take a cut of every transaction as payment for providing the infrastructure, and make money this way. What we are seeing now with Graze is some version of this idea: Graze provides a marketplace for custom feed operators to put sponsored content in their feed, and Graze takes a cut of every transaction as payment for operating the infrastructure. It shows the interesting challenge for Bluesky PBC that is ahead: in an open system it is not actually guaranteed to be the first one to build marketplaces and become the default/largest operator of such a marketplace. If the potential is high enough, other organisations might just get there first.There has been a lot of conversation about whether or not Bluesky will have advertisement in the future. The large majority of these conversations, and even remarks by Bluesky CEO Graber herself, imply a direct connection between people seeing advertisement when they open the Bluesky app, and the actions of Bluesky PBC. People assume that if they were to see ads on Bluesky, that is because Bluesky PBC put those ads there. The plans by Graze however show that this assumption is not always correct. In the near future, any ads people will see on the Bluesky app will likely be outside of the control of Bluesky PBC. Instead, the trend is towards ads being connected to the community/place/feed that shows the advertisement. I think this has a lot of implications for how we conceptualise advertisements on social networks that are hard to fully grasp right now, but certainly something I’m keeping an eye on.
One factor that has contributed to the bot spam in recent weeks is the inflow of a specific type of accounts, often called resistlibs in a derogatory manner. This is a group of people who identify as Democrat, and want to resist the Trump presidency by being active on social media. A defining characteristic is that they tend to engage in follow-back campaigns such as the ‘NoDemocratUnder1k‘ hashtag, where they follow all accounts that have that hashtag. Using Starter Packs this group can very quickly build up accounts that are followed and follow tens of thousands of people. This behaviour is easily hijacked by bad actors however, it is easy for spam networks to make accounts that look similar to resistlibs. Following Starter Packs, participating in follow-back culture and using the right hashtags makes it particularly easy for spam networks or other bad actors to build up large accounts on Bluesky. This has contributed to the influx of spam and bots on Bluesky recently, although it is far from the only factor.

Il CEO di Mastodon definisce le modifiche alla moderazione di Meta "profondamente preoccupanti", e avverte gli utenti che pubblicano post incrociati da Threads
Il post pubblicato su mastodon da @Eugen Rochko indica che l'organizzazione è consapevole che l'integrazione di Threads potrebbe presto diventare una sfida di moderazione. "L'incitamento all'odio è proibito e prenderemo provvedimenti su qualsiasi account Threads che viola le nostre policy", ha avvertito in un post sul suo account Mastodon.
techcrunch.com/2025/01/08/mast…
The moderation policy changes at Meta are deeply troubling and should be a concern to anyone with a conscience. While the fediverse is a decentralized platform where different service providers have different moderation policies, at mastodon.social, hate speech is prohibited, and we will take action on any Threads account found violating our policies. I would strongly urge anyone with a Threads account to reconsider their alignment with the new direction at Meta and move to Mastodon instead.

@TrentWave sì, infatti ogni amministratore di istanza decide in base alle convinzioni e alle convenienze proprie e della propria comunità. C'è chi non vuole federarsi in alcun modo con Threads e utenti che non vogliono stare in istanze federate con loro.
Personalmente ho deciso di non federarmi con Threads solo perché temevo un appesantimento della nostra istanza, ma poi ho capito che non si tratta di un grande rischio, perché meta non vuole aprirsi veramente al Fediverso E infatti gli utenti non europei che hanno attivato quella funzionalità sono poche migliaia.
Io ritengo invece che attraverso quelle poche migliaia sia vantaggioso per il fediverso rimanere collegato con quella comunità.

@GaMe se la tua istanza non blocca già Threads, puoi andare sul profilo di uno qualsiasi dei suoi membri, cliccare sui tre pallini del menu e selezionare "blocca NOMEDELL'ISTANZA
"
Naturalmente in questo modo non vedrai più i contenuti di Threads e non consentirai a loro di seguirti, ma non bloccherai la visibilità del tuo profilo verso gli utenti Threads. La visibilità del tuo profilo comunque non verrebbe bloccata neanch se a fare il blocco fosse la tua istanza.
L'unico modo per bloccare la visibilità del tuo profilo è il combinato di bloccare l'istanza E INOLTRE rendere il tuo profilo visibile solo ai follower

@nicolaottomano la moderazione automatica deve essere utilizzata al massimo per segnalare contenuti inappropriati e non per operare provvedimenti, altrimenti è il male assoluto. Per quanto riguarda invece l'aspetto delle connessioni, al momento si può stare abbastanza tranquilli perché giusto qualche decina di migliaia di utenti hanno deciso di federare il proprio profilo Threads. Un successone, quindi 🤣

C'è chi dice che le istanze che bloccano threads proteggano al 100% da meta e dice una cosa falsa, per ignoranza o per dolo.
Si sa che il blocco dell'istanza o della persona su threads.net fornisce sempre e solo una protezione limitata.
Meglio di niente, ma per avere una vera protezione ci sono solo due opzioni:
1) bloccare #Threads e pubblicare post solo per i follower o solo in locale
2) Scrivere da un'istanza che si federa solo con server che bloccano Threads

Il testo evidenzia l'importanza di bloccare gli utenti su Threads, ma sottolinea che questo metodo offre una protezione limitata. Vengono suggerite due opzioni più robuste per gli utenti a rischio di molestie: bloccare Threads e pubblicare solo per i follower o localmente, oppure utilizzare un server che si connette solo ad altri server che rifiutano la connessione con Threads.

“Event Bridge For ActivityPub” plugin released on WordPress.org
It’s been a long road, but now a first version (v0.3.5) of the plugin is available via the official plugin sources on WordPress.org.
wordpress.org/plugins/event-br…
Further features are almost ready and will follow in the coming days. This is includes some more complex features like aggregating events from other remote ActivityPub actors and improvements like better accessibility in the admin UI.
We are looking forward to feedback from users. You can find our guidelines for contributing here.
Unfortunately, interoperability with other applications is still limited, often caused by unresolved issues within other applications. However, we all are all working on it and are confident that things will be smoothed out in the course of this year!
Migration to Codeberg
This was a good reason for us to move the repository from our self-hosted Forgejo to Codeberg.org for several reasons:
- less maintenance
- less hurdles to contribute
- @Codeberg is awesome
- we love Forgejo actions and can still use our own Forgejo-runner
Acknowledgement
We’d like to thank @NGIZero and @nlnet for allowing us to spend the considerable time we’ve put into developing this plugin.

Event Bridge for ActivityPub: Upcoming 1.0 Release
The 1.0 release of our WordPress plugin Event Bridge for ActivityPub is scheduled for early January 2025.Features based on evaluation results
Over the past year, the development plan for the 1.0 release of our WordPress plugin, Event Bridge for ActivityPub, has evolved significantly. After extensive testing and an evaluation process with real users, we’ve finalized the feature set for this upcoming release as follows:
- Basic support for 10 widely-used WordPress event plugins.
- Compatibility with multiple event plugins simultaneously, as we found that switching between plugins is common and maintaining archives is essential.
- Event Aggregation from the Fediverse: follow other ActivityPub profiles to get and display their events. Will only be available with select event plugin integrations.
- Map WordPress event categories to federated event categories, ensuring consistency across platforms.
- Customizable event summaries for platforms like Mastodon that don’t natively support events in ActivityPub.
- Send reminders (via
Announce
or customNote
) to followers at a configurable time before the event starts.- A streamlined admin dashboard that includes health checks and feedback to guide users to easily resolve faulty configurations.
Security and accessibility review
A security and accessibility review is currently taking place, and we will also be adapting the results of this.wordpress-event-bridge-for-activitypub

Mein WordPress Account im Fediverse wird in 2025 tatsächlich schon 10 Jahre alt.
Angelegt habe ich ihn, weil meine Nodes vor 10-12 Jahren noch eine Halbwertzeit von 6-12 Monaten hatten ;) Häufig sind sie gestorben, weil ich einfach keine Ahnung hatte, wie ich einen Fehler beheben konnte (Lernkurve).
Da war und ist es gut, wenn ich alle meine Posts irgendwohin verschieben kann und so eine Art Archiv erzeuge. Möglich war das durch ein Friendica Addon, mit dem alle Fediverse Beiträge auch auf ein WordPress gespiegelt werden. Das hat so gut funktioniert, dass ich die Funktion über die Jahre hinweg beibehalten habe.
Damals vor 10 Jahren (konkret am 09. Mai 2015) habe ich Föderation auf dem WordPress aktiviert. Danke an @Matthias Pfefferle und das Friendica Addon-Team, die das ermöglicht haben.

È stata rilasciata la nuova versione stabile di Friendica "Interrupted Fern" 2024.12
Siamo molto lieti di annunciare la disponibilità della nuova versione stabile di Friendica "Interrupted Fern" 2024.12. Oltre a diversi miglioramenti e nuove funzionalità, questa versione contiene la correzione per la procedura guidata di installazione non funzionante .
I punti salienti di Friendica 2024.12 sono
- aggiunto esportatore per prometheus,
- abbiamo abbandonato il supporto di OStatus (il predecessore di ActivityPub) dopo aver valutato la quantità di server/contatti attivi che utilizzano ancora solo questo protocollo e deprecato il componente aggiuntivo fancybox
- Friendica è ora compatibile con REUSE e supporta FEP-67ff
Per i dettagli, consultare il file CHANGELOG nel repository.

Friendica 2024.12 released
We are very happy to announce the availability of the new stable release of Friendica “Interrupted Fern” 2024.12. In addition to several improvements and new features, this release contains the fix for the broken installation wizard.The highlights of Friendica 2024.12 are
- added exporter for prometheus,
- we dropped the support of OStatus (the predecessor of ActivityPub) after evaluating the amount of active servers/contacts that are still only using this protocol, and deprecated the fancybox addon
- Friendica is now REUSE compliant and supports FEP-67ff
For details, please the CHANGELOG file in the repository.
What is Friendica
Friendica is a decentralised communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumblr and BlueSky.
How to Update
Updating from old Friendica versions
If you are updating from an older version than the 2023.12 release, please first update your Friendica instance to that version as it contained some breaking changes.
Pre-Update Procedures
Ensure that the last backup of your Friendica installation was done recently.
Using Git
Updating from the git repositories should only involve a pull from the Friendica core repository and addons repository, regardless of the branch (stable or develop) you are using. Remember to update the dependencies with composer as well. So, assuming that you are on thestable
branch, the commands to update your installation to the 2024.12 release would be
cd friendica
git pull
bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
cd addon
git pull
If you want to use a different branch than thestable
one, you need to fetch and checkout the branch before your perform the git pull.Pulling in the dependencies with composer will show some deprecation warning, we will be working on that in the upcoming release.
Using the Archive Files
Due to unforseen changes in the CI not possible at the moment.
Post Update Tasks
The database update should be applied automatically, but sometimes it gets stuck. If you encounter this, please initiate the DB update manually from the command line by running the script
bin/console dbstructure update
from the base of your Friendica installation. If the output contains any error message, please let us know using the channels mentioned below.Please note, that some of the changes to the database structure will take some time to be applied, depending on the size of your Friendica database this update might run for days.
Known Issues
At the time of writing this, none with 2024.12But the development branch is currently rather unstable and should be used with caution as the development diverged far (for Friendica terms) from the now stable branch. We will let our very valued ALPHA testers when the dev team things that the development branch is stable enough again.
How to Contribute
If you want to contribute to the project, you don’t need to have coding experience. There are a number of tasks listed in the issue tracker with the label “Junior Jobs” we think are good for new contributors. But you are by no means limited to these – if you find a solution to a problem (even a new one) please make a pull request at github or let us know in the development forum.Contribution to Friendica is also not limited to coding. Any contribution to the documentation, the translation or advertisement materials is welcome or reporting a problem. You don’t need to deal with Git(Hub) or Transifex if you don’t like to. Just get in touch with us and we will get the materials to the appropriate places.
Thanks everyone who helped making this release possible, and especially to all the new contributors to Friendica, and have fun!

Thanks for another big release with many changes improving reliability and stability.
Feedback about the news posts: I find them a bit unstructured and every news post contains the same upgrade instructions, which maybe are better kept in a wiki. Not sure the contribute and upgrade sections are needed for the news posts. Would love to see a stronger focus on the actual changes of the release. The small 4 teaser items give a slightly wrong impression of all the things that happened in this release.

I think the upgrade instructions should be left in the release notes. They are germane to the topic. What purpose does it serve to send people all over the place, to sacrifice convenience, just to save a few lines of writing and then make the process more complicated?
Having the information needed to upgrade should be handy and in one place, and with the other upgrade information, IMHO, so there is less chance of something being overlooked. There can often be no return from a mistake during upgrading.

EDIT: QUASI tutti i siti sulla destra sono del "Gruppo Devol" (poliverso.org non lo è)
più facile che lo chiudano prima che tutti se ne siano andati: ne sono attratti come mosche alla merda.
invidious e altri progetti simili venivano continamente bloccati da google e quindi non vale la pena continuare a fare il gioco del gatto contro il topo.
gli utenti di Livello segreto hanno l'istanza threads.net bloccata a differenza dell'80% degli iscritti a mastodon:
noblogo.org/uno-academy/come-s…
probabilmente poliverso è l'unica istanza che si collega a tutto, anche a nostr e diaspora 👍
Come sta reagendo il Fediverso alla progressiva federazione di Threads?
Nel caso specifico ci occupiamo di Mastodon, tuttora la piattaforma social pilastro portante del Fediverso, ma a federazione completata potremmo anche estendere l’osservazione.
Al momento (fine luglio 2024), in attesa di dati coerenti e sistematici, abbiamo preso in esame le prime 50 istanze Mastodon mondiali più popolose e attive.Non ci interessa indicare chi blocca o non blocca Threads, non è una caccia alle streghe e gli amministratori sono liberi di gestire le istanze secondo i propri modi di intendere il Fediverso.
Ci interessa mostrare dati accorpati, ben contestualizzati, che rappresentino realisticamente l’attuale scenario.
Totale utenti attivi mensili delle prime 50 istanze Mastodon: oltre mezzo milione (poco più di 501.000 su un totale di poco più di 788.000); quindi, come campione siamo abbondantemente oltre la copertura del 50% (poco più del 56% del totale degli utenti attivi mensili su Mastodon).
Istanze che bloccano Threads tra le prime 50: 10 (20%).
Totale utenti attivi mensili delle 10 istanze che bloccano Threads: circa 45.800.
Istanze che non bloccano Threads tra le prime 50: 40 (80%).
Totale utenti attivi mensili delle 40 istanze che non bloccano Threads: circa 455.600.
Guardare al mero numero di istanze che bloccano o non bloccano Threads, non contestualizzando i dati, è completamente fuorviante.
Prendiamo per esempio dieci istanze: nove monoistanza (istanza di un singolo o pochissimi utenti) che bloccano Threads e un’istanza di un milione di utenti che non blocca Threads. Possiamo affermare che il 90% delle istanze campione sta bloccando Threads. Affermazione formalmente corretta. Ma stiamo anche dando una corretta rappresentazione della realtà (o stiamo facendo cherry picking)? 😉

sì, Anche se purtroppo stiamo valutando con attenzione se mantenere i ponti aperti con Mostr... Purtroppo la rete basata sul protocollo Nostr è vulnerabile non tanto ai soliti Troll della trash right, quanto a un problema più serio legato ai bot governati dall'intelligenza artificiale. Sono così tanti che cominci a diventare antieconomico bloccarne uno per uno

@prealpinux purtroppo è così. Ed è un peccato perché il protocollo Nostr è oggettivamente una bomba
@macfranc
A me piacciono molto anche i loro client.
Tecnicamente sono incantato dal protocollo e dall'architettura di nostr, ma credo che l'immondizia che circola ne sia diretta conseguenza.
Il fatto è che implementa una decentralizzazione totale, senza istanze, rendendo impossibile la moderazione, e per questo attrae tutti quei contenuti che sarebbero ostacolati da qualsiasi piattaforma nel fediverso, o avrebbero l'ambizione di esserlo.

macfranc e informapirata ⁂ reshared this.
@luca
Credo che nostr sia più decentralizzato del fediverso perché profilo e messaggi non sono legati ad uno specifico relay, e mi pare che la pubblicazione di un post avvenga attraverso una manciata di relay diversi. Se è cosi, i contenuti non attraversano un singolo nodo che possa controllarli e questo dovrebbe rendere appositamente difficile, se non impossibile, la moderazione.
Sto capendo male qualcosa?
macfranc reshared this.
@luca
Il punto è che sono meno interconnessi di quanto si possa immaginare? Due utenti possono essere abbastanza separati da non poter interagire?
@De_Treias @luca @macfranc @prealpinux @paoloparti la vera decentralizzazione si può fare solo con protocolli p2p come scuttlebut, e i vari client come manyverse: manyver.se/
inutile dire che non appoggiarsi a server o relay comporta un grandissimo lavoro dell'app, che praticamente fa da server personale e deve scaricare tutto quanto in locale quando si collega.
bel progetto ma scomodo e quindi il fediverso gli ha rubato la scena.

c'è anche jack dorsey, il fondatore di twtter che è anche finanziatore di nostr:

macfranc reshared this.
Sì, effettivamente solo il p2p può essere definito totalmente decentralizzato.
Grazie per avermi segnalato scuttlebut, credo che tecnicamente possa piacermi anche più di nostr.
I punti meno attraenti per me, a caldo e senza averlo provato? L'assenza di moderazione ed il network ad invito.
macfranc reshared this.
purtroppo l'anarchia non è possibile in un contesto digitale, perché chi ha più risorse può essere dominante.
In questo senso, la moderazione di qualsiasi comunità digitale è fondamentale se ovviamente è degna di fiducia e se mantiene regole chiare (che poi è esattamente quello che si intende con la parola "federazione").
Certamente la Federazione può costituire un rischio, un punto di vulnerabilità, ma è anche una protezione.
Del resto il Fediverso non è un "servizio critico", non deve garantire alta affidabilità, alta sicurezza e alta flessibilità, ma deve solo consentire agli utenti di interagire quanto più liberamente possibile
