lnxw48a1: @bobjonkman @bobjonkman One positive is that some #Twitter clients are now advertising #Mastodon clients. I wish they'd also look at making clients for #GNUsocial, #Misskey, #PixelFed and so on, as not everyone supports the Mastodon API.

lnxw48a1: https://github.com/foocorp/hacienda > We made GNU social which had its part in starting the Fediverse! GNU social was a spin-off from GNU FM, which was the software we made to run Libre.fm -- Libre.fm has been federated for a very, very long time. I’m not sure when FooCorp’s GS project started, but the ##Fediverse predates the merger of #StatusNet, #FreeSocial, and #GNUsocial into the modern GS project. Y’all have some historical accomplishments already, so there’s no need to overinflate your role.

lnxw48a1: @lxo Yes, I think that's always been a feature of #Friendica. !GNUsocial allows following PuSH/websub enabled RSS & Atom feeds ... and there's an old add-on that also supports RSScloud enabled feeds.

lnxw48a1: https://prodromou.pub/@evan/109498060348615260 @evan@prodromou.pub @evan@identi.ca ( and formerly @evan@e14n.com ) has said this a few times, but here it is again. "Every time you post on Twitter, you produce value for the advertisers. You tell everyone in your network there that it's OK to stay. That you're all helpless to leave. You tell the people who've lost their jobs, the people who are being hounded and harassed, that they are not important to you. You know you're going to be ashamed of it later. Just stop posting. Do it here, not there. Connect here, not there. Don't reply, don't like, don't retweet. Stop feeding your life into the machine." This was true before Elon #Musk bought #Twitter, but I guess it wasn't as important before. I don't fully agree, simply because there may be some advantages to many people who continue to use Twitter instead of moving to the #Fediverse (e.g., #GNU_Social, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Misskey, #PixelFed, #Lenny / #Lemmy, etc) or they would have moved over already. Also, because unless one self-hosts one's own presence, an angry instance admin is all it takes to lose all posts and connections and have to start over. Or, if one has contacts on a different instance, then irate instance admins participating in #blockwars (including #fediblock) can separate the person from some portion of their contacts. So remember, everything that Twitter is or can do to you, your Fediverse instance can also do. Most instances will never do most of those things, but pretending that one is safe here could result in disappointment in the future.

lnxw48a1: Tagging this thread with #Fediverse #Security ... whomever made the script obviously read some protocol docs and some source code. With just a little #JavaScript, they were able to knock some #Misskey and #Mastodon instances to their knees. This isn't the first, and it won't be the last. Remember when someone posted a humongous image and locked up any #GNUSocial instance that tried to download the image? Remember when someone's instance was replaced by some sort of cryptocurrency site and PuSH es from your site to theirs would crash your site because of their site's response? (I'll bet I still have that domain blocked at the firewall.) We have to stop being naive about the intentions of those in the current migration. The overwhelming majority will have benign, if not good, intentions. But a select few will have bad intentions. Among those intentions is to colonize the Fediverse with #Twitter's culture, to come here and impose that culture of anger and disrespect upon the inhabitants here ... which already happened once with the first wave of people joining #Mastodon instance, except it was Twitter and #Tumblr at that time.

lnxw48a1: https://k.lapy.link/notes/98bji8qbby #Misskey security update. Someone created "instances" which trigger a denial of service in Misskey and possibly #Mastodon. From what I hear, #Pleroma is not vulnerable. #GNUsocial is likely also vulnerable. We can expect a lot more of these kind of things now that the #Fediverse is getting attention.

lnxw48a1: I actually think that the overwhelming majority of blocking should be done by individuals curating their own timelines. I am sensitive to the effect on the Fediverse as a whole, especially as we've already been through this. Even the original #bifurcation (when the largest instance at the time, Identica, severed communication with #StatusNet / #GNUsocial & #OStatus and switched to the #Pump.io protocol and software) and the subsequent #ActivityPub - #OStatus split have caused untold breakage. I've seen AP-side devs, admins, users patting themselves on the back while commiserating about brokenness that is built into the protocol itself or at least its common implementations. I have also seen people telling other people to create "alts" on various instances, so that their posts can reach all of their intended contacts. Not for resilience against instance shutdowns or separating by posts and recipients by topics and interests (which is what groups and Diaspora style Aspects / GPlus style Circles are for), but because #blockwars prevents posts and members from one instance to be seen on certain others. For the record, I think that instance governance is something that Mastodon should include in its instances.social instance-picker, along with instances' topical foci. People should have a way to see what they're agreeing to (and what the alternatives are) before the sign up. In other words, it isn't my way or the highway so much as it is making it possible to know what one is getting into. I am certain that there are (or were) instances with democratically chosen rules. I also believe that we're not doing the people who use an instance any favor by not making it possible for them to contribute to the financing and administration of the instance. If you're paying all the costs and doing all the work to maintain and moderate the instance, it is difficult to let an election institute a policy that you disagree with. (I've started to really disagree with the idea of individuals hosting public instances wholly out of their own financial and time resources. Besides the "truck factor", it is much easier to keep an instance going if everything was already handled by a team and at least partly member supported.) On the other hand, if the instance encourages those in its membership who can do so to participate in keeping it going, then it is perfectly reasonable to expect the admin team to carry out the decisions voted by the membership. I do realize that not everyone can contribute funds, nor can everyone do the technical labor ... but as @simsa04 will remember, things like writing documentation, contributing in discussions about improving the software, designing and implementing themes, and even marketing-type tasks such as creating a logo and a favicon or promoting the instance to people outside the #Fediverse are beneficial.

lnxw48a1: I am not planning to launch the first open registration public instance until every !fnetworks #GNU_Social instance is running version 2.0+, so #Federati Networks may miss this next wave of #Twitter refugees.

lnxw48a1: @vegos I agree. To most organizations, their primary concern is reach. So they congregate on big #corpocentric #socnets, even when the central corporation running things is actively hostile to their point of view. Then they're butthurt when their accounts are shadowbanned. Years ago, I tried to persuade some local Black churches and ethic-focused organizations to join !GNUsocial and #Diaspora, but was unsuccessful. I think they all joined #Facebook, where their posts are hidden by the algorithms.

lnxw48a1: And if you're considering #Shoyu ( #iOS app ) as your #GNU_Social client, it is garbage. It apparently was an old Twitter client that supports Twitter's functionality from several years ago, and very little else. It is slooo-o-o-o-o-o-owwwww to post, even when other clients are not. I haven't seen anything else for iOS that supports GS, but it might be worth going to the big blue discount store (aka #Walmart ) and buying their $80 #Android device, so you can use #AndStatus instead. AndStatus is not known for being fast, but it can run circles around Shoyu, even running backwards, with its eyes closed and its ankles bound.

lnxw48a1: @xj9 #GNU_Social's #ActivityPub support is not quite ready for use in non-testing instances. Currently, there's a problem with verifying Mastodon's signatures. ( Neither @lain@lain.com nor @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com can see this response because their instances no longer speak #OStatus. )

lnxw48a1: @guizzy It's the way all these things work. I've seen loads of resurrected threads on #Pleroma and #Mastodon as well as #GNUSocial when someone deletes their account. Their home instance sends out deletes for every individual post they ever made, which modifies the conversations those posts were part of.

lnxw48a1: @dragnucs What you said about #OStatus is not really true. #GNU_Social downloads more than just 1 or 2 posts when I subscribe to people, and #Mastodon also does and it did long before they added #ActivityPub.

lnxw48a1: Curiouser and curiouser. #Shoyu ( #GNU_Social app for #iOS) seems to only posts by local (to this instance) users in the timeline. Could be some undocumented configuration setting. Could also be the built-in behavior.

lnxw48a1: @bthall Oh, cool. Welcome to the #Fediverse, @freakboy3742. You're not just on Mastodon\.social. There are other sites running the #Mastodon software and sites running other software ( #GNU_Social, #Pleroma, #Friendica, #Hubzilla) that are also part of this network. Most people are not obsessed with #Twitter (and we don't all use the #Birdsite nickname). If you watch some tags for the types of content you're looking for, chances are you'll find more of it, though maybe less than you see on Twitter. Smaller network, fewer people, less content.

lnxw48a1: @notclacke @dwmatiz There's an #OAuth bug in #GNU_Social (introduced in the last 2-3 years) that make #Mustard "unauthorized" to post. Since #AndStatus only connects by username password, it isn't affected. That's the primary reason I use AS. I should conect Mustard by username / password and use it as my main client again. Faster, more responsive, shows posts that AS never does.

lnxw48a1: Whatchutalkinbout Willis? #GNU_Social has supported federated polls since the #StatusNet days, and long before #Twitter added it. (I don't think Qvitter supports polls, but there are other reasons to avoid it already.)

lnxw48a1: @jordigh "... caption your images for accessibility!" Maybe that should be a feature request for the software I'm using ( #GNU_Social and #AndStatus )?

lnxw48a1: @shpuld @sim I should mention that there is a little work taking place on the #GNU_Social codebase, including adding AP compatibility and better password hashing.

dansup: Getting to know the #gnusocial internals was fun. I managed to get composer autoloading (PSR-4), active orm and a cli pysch powered REPL. I think it would be easier to start from scratch than bring gnusocial into the modern php era.

lnxw48a1: @musicman Something else occurred to me. His #pump.io and #gnusocial servers are probably on the same physical box or at least in the same room, so default timeout settings for #NS may be too short for those with servers in widely scattered places.
