  • Pelago: The Old Man, The Sea, and The Island -- A manifesto? on how to build allowlist-based networks

    Jump

  • There are levels to this. For sure, if we could automatically block instances with open signups and no manual verification, the worst of the worst would be eliminated and we could start with that. In fact I believe the author has a project of creating a larger-scale network of instances more or less like that, called Pangea.

    The nice thing is that however strict you want to be, there's a chance the same tools will be needed anyway, up to you to configure, and this is what Pelago does. No matter what you do with it, it becomes more useful to everyone and I like that. Doing what you're proposing helps those with stricter rules and vice versa !

  • [AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

    Jump

  • I see your point and I think I agree. Maybe I'm willing to let it pass because I happen to agree with the decision (and would also agree with the hypothetical ban of Rails). Ultimately, it comes down to what you said: whatever you use, you should see how to become a full member

  • [AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

    Jump

  • I still don't see the problem with Codeberg's decision. Of course they will kick projects that they don't want, just like github will kick projects they don't want. The issue isn't what is and isn't allowed, it's who allows it, as it always has been.

    Of course selfhosting is one way to control it, but in Codeberg there is a process to be part of that governance, which the author didn't partake in. At which point there is nothing more to discuss, get in the governance first and then you can write a blog post about how the governance is bad, isn't aligned with you or whatever.

    It's 2026. Who still expects things to be perfect with a third-party without participating ? Be part of the governance, selfhosted or not, always

  • This is really nice, but I don't understand what the willow part really brings, unfortunately

  • rsync and rclone are two different projects

  • What do you like about the fediverse and why?

    Jump

  • Peace of mind

    I don't have to go through artificial slowness, walls of ads, cookie/"please sign-in" gateways. My data remains mine. The thing does what it does, it just works. Using commercial stuff is actively aggressive towards me and requires my constant vigilance to get through; the fediverse just works for me

  • Shareable markdown directories

    Jump

  • The hosting part is, indeed, a technical part but a tool like copyparty can help here:

    https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/README.md#markdown-viewer

    It runs everywhere, is just a single file you double-click to open and browse from your browser. Makdown files are automatically rendered. You can upload a bunch of files directly, or just send them by mail and put them in a directory served by copyparty

  • That's basically what gopher is: a capsule of hierarchically ordered documents, easily browsable thanks to a normalized interface

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)

    The web is one of its spiritual successor and is plenty usable to share text files. Most if not all software can generate indexes of content in a directory. wget and friends can be used to retrieve the whole archive. If you generate html files you can then style them independently of the content.

  • What would you like to see on the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Most of the usage of platform is individual-based and it's a problem. Collective-based interaction, like in the threadiverse, leads to a better sense of community, better organizing, better software that really helps us, etc...

    I would like to see more wiki-like usage, where we congregate around topics/subjects/interests and collectively build something with rules we decide ourselves

  • The Permission Machine

    Jump

  • In a roundabout way the author says that the structure of the platform informs the structure of the discourse, the opinions, the information that is surfaced and the one that is invizibilized. It's important to remember that a decentralized network doesn't mean neutrality, there will be something put in front. It's not the same as what a capitalist wants, and that's good

  • [META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?

    Jump

  • I would love to see an [AI] tag, so I can easily hide it. Coupled with temporary bans in case of missing disclosure it would really sanitize the community

  • [META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?

    Jump

  • Then failure to disclose can be condemned, for instance by temporary bans

  • Blackblaze B2 status and alternatives

  • Any self-hosted option for real time location sharing?

    Jump

  • If not hosting anything is ok for you, deltachat allows you to share locations to people in a chat. It's fully e2ee. You can use it with existing relays, but if you want you can host one that will be useful to everyone: https://chatmail.at/

  • I think there are 2 levels here: basic federation, where you can follow a channel on another instance and comment there, is opt-out like the rest of the fediverse. In fact you can even comment from Mastodon. The platform-level following is another thing, that enables other uses.

    The issue of search is unrelated to that, it's the same as with other fediverse platforms: search only searches on the current platform. But peertube also allows you to search on global indexes:

    https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use/search#global-search

    And, of course, you can use Sepia Search, a curated index of instances by the people behind peertube:

  • no, I was talking about the initial mistake that many people do, which is the fediverse/mastodon mixup

  • I'm talking specifically about calling the network, ie the interconnection of independent softwares, as "mastodon". It's not about explaining how mastodon works, it's implying everything works this way. This very platform we are using is definitely not mastodon, but is definitely part of the fediverse
