If everything goes right, I will have two test instances of the federated instagram for testing setup by the weekend, along with the source code on github and git.gnu.io.

@jeroenpraat Thanks! I'm close to pushing the MVP to github, still need to finish ActivityPub support and some other small things. I have picked a name, will be announcing that soon!

Federated Instagram. #soon

I'm working on an improved GS data export tool with the goal of collecting as much data as possible. Any user can run this on a GS instance where backups are disabled. Should be done soon.

@andstatus Yes, after Server-to-Server is done.

I will push this to github in the next few days, its a different type of service than twitter or mastodon. I think the fediverse will like it. #ActivityPub

Started a new ActivityPub based project 😄

@cwebber Hello, thanks for all the amazing work you've done with ActivityPub. I'm still working on a php ActivityPub library. I was trying to contribute to GNU Social but couldn't get any response, which is frustrating. I closed a few merge requests like https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/merge_requests/158 and decided to focus on something else.

I wrote a merge request to add bcrypt and argon support to GNU Social. It will update existing md5 hashed passwords with either bcrypt or argon hashed passwords. And fixes a timing attack vuln. https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/merge_requests/158

@yookoala @jordila I decided to use my old project repo https://github.com/dansup/socialnode . I will push code to that this weekend!

I've noticed there is some animosity in the fediverse between GNU social and mastodon. I think its important to work together so we can make the fediverse a better place for everyone.

ActivityPub support for GNU Social is in the works! I'll be working with @up201705417 on a plugin this summer.

Sneak peek of the basic bootstrap UI.

Using flysystem, media can be stored on S3 with 4 LoC. Websockets can be handled by pusher.io with minimal config. SQLite, mySQL, Postgres, and SQLServer database support. It will be the modern successor to GNU Social with a simple update.

I'm working on a GNU Social clone using the Laravel framework, vue, redis and websockets. Performance is key, along with groups, polls, and activitypub support among many others. I look forward to publishing the MVP soon!

I don't think webmentions are appropriate for the fediverse. The privacy implications, along with the potential for abuse (DDoS) do not justify any benefits in my opinion. #webmentions #fediverse

@Gargron Hi. Have you reconsidered adding groups or the ability to subscribe to a hashtag?

@mmn @maiyannah I just pushed a new merge request that adds support for random_bytes() to common_random_hexstr().

As much as I love gnusocial, I can see why mastodon exists. I submitted a timing fix pull request over 2 weeks ago and still nothing! https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/merge_requests/158
