@@silverpill@mitra.social Probably someone who is very staunchly opposed to blockchains, crypto and NFTs... ...vs earlier Mitra that openly advertised exactly that stuff as its own future. To be honest, I'm not too fond of these three either. #FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #Mitra

@@reiver@mastodon.social @@silverpill@mitra.social This is simply because little is written about Forte on the Web. However, I was there when Forte was born back in September, 2024. I was on (streams) back then. Mike Macgirvin had implemented FEP-ef61 in the "nomad" branch of the streams repository a few months ago to test it. When he was confident enough, he merged the "nomad" branch into the regular "dev" branch. In July, 2024, he merged the "dev" branch into the "release" branch, causing the FEP-ef61 implementation to be rolled out to daily-driver (streams) servers. However, it was a maze of Nomad and Zot6 and non-nomadic ActivityPub and FEP-ef61 identities for everything that boiled over. (streams) wouldn't federate with anything anymore, not even with itself. My two still existing (streams) channels, @Jupiter Rowland's (streams) outlet and @Jupiter's Fedi-Memes on (streams), were both affected by this. They were amongst the very first (streams) channels created on an account with FEP-ef61 DID support. Mike would spend half of the summer trying to figure out what had happened and how to fix it. Even while (streams) was still broken, Forte was born in August, 2024 when Mike forked the streams repository and ripped all traces of Nomad and Zot6 support out, probably also in order to get rid of the corresponding IDs and facilitate debugging. This means that FEP-ef61, which had literally caused this whole mayhem and which has to be considered responsible for Forte's very existence, was a) implemented in the streams repository when it was forked into Forte and b) not removed from Forte post-fork. It would not have made any sense to remove FEP-ef61 when one reason why Forte was made at that point in history was in order to debug FEP-ef61. Sidenotes: Mike managed to fix (streams). This whole issue burned him out so much that he officially quit developing Fediverse software, effective September 1st, 2024, midnight. He still carries on working on both (streams) and Forte because nobody else does, what with how many people even use them. #Long #LongPost #CWLong #CWLongPost #FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #Streams #(streams) #Forte #FEP_ef61

Mastodon has a new human-over-AI contribution policy.

tl;dr:

  • The human contributor is the sole party responsible for the contribution.

  • If AI was used to generate a significant portion of your contribution (i.e. beyond simple autocomplete), we require you to disclose it in the Pull Request description.

  • If you cannot guarantee the provenance and legal safety of the AI-generated code, do not submit it.

  • Cases of repeated violations of these … guidelines could result in a ban from our repositories.

RE: @Mastodon@mastodon.social

Quoting this good thread from Mastodon official that they’re “work on a new onboarding experiment for #Mastodon: Default Server Recommendations” which will recommend closest geographic server in the correct language that:

  1. Run default Mastodon (with a “for now” codicil)
  2. Agree to the Mastodon Server Covenant ( https://joinmastodon.org/covenant )
  3. Have been around at least a year and have both shutdown and disaster plans

There are more details in the thread and particularly in the replies - e.g., why it’ll be rolling out to mobile clients first, while web will take longer. There are good reasons for it.

I like it on first read. Seems like good stuff.

We are excited to share that we are beginning work on a new onboarding experiment for #Mastodon: Default Server Recommendations. Our intent for this experiment is to recommend the closest server geographically that is in the correct language during the sign-up flow. We will be running this experiment on our iOS and Android apps only to start. 1/6

This instance seems to use some entirely new software, which is kinda cool in theory, but it federates pretty badly. The user interface also has some annoying bugs, notably the timeline refreshing throws out whatever you were writing in the input box, so I've had to compose this in a fucking text editor.

The thing you probably care a bit more about is that it doesn't have any real verification beyond a captcha. No email, no manual verification.
