Iceshrimp: A fediverse platform

Was just told (by @Subversivo ) about this: https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp.net

are rewriting the whole thing (a JS/Node / fork) in C# with Blazor for the frontend.

Cool to see. Should handle the performance issues that have plagued the *key forks and maybe provide a new general branch of fediverse platform.

What lang/stack isn't represented on the fediverse now? C++, Kotlin?

@maegul @Subversivo @fediverse @fediversenews what is this, for the unacquainted? Is it a full activitypub server or just the front-end?

The Fedipact statistics are interesting

7% of active users committed to - https://fedidb.org/current-events/anti-meta-fedi-pact

  • How representative of the user base is this, or are admins gatekeeping here? A large survey would be good to clear that up.

  • EG, Mastodon, relative to its userbase, seems the most "Meta friendly" with only 57% of fedipact users (but ~80% all users)

  • Fractal of niche-dom? Fedi ~1% of social media, fedi-pact ~ 10% of fedi. So anti-meta-fediverse ~0.1%?

@maegul IMHO you are making false assumptions.

Some admin have already / will block Meta but don't see any point of signing the pact.

Some people choose to federate with Threads but are Meta hostile. They federate with the goal of promoting Fedi/FLOSS/privacy/leaving Meta on Threads 🤷

@fediverse @fediversenews

petrescatraian,

@ajsadauskas Flipboard is actively working towards federation though.

core devs running an AMA on Monday, 7 Aug, 1500 CEST

See post: lemmy.ml/post/2671212

Generally, I think it's valuable for people to be able to get to know their platform's devs and their admins better. So I think this is a pretty cool idea.

Former reddit app Sync now available (in beta) for lemmy.

https://lemmy.world/post/2515668

See also the app's community if you're interested: https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy

The story here, AFAIU, is that it's the same developer porting the app from a reddit to lemmy backend. I've never used it, but android users have been excited for it from what I've seen.

@maegul it was one of the best Reddit clients, with an incredibly polished UI and UX.

@dansup

I think fedidb is picking up two different endpoints of the same kbin instance as distinct instances?

https://fedidb.org/software/kbin

That is kbin.social and media.kbin.social

@maegul @dansup Hey, I will try to verify it today.

settles on its big central instance: lemmy.world () run by @ruud

Its numbers are now big enough to be counted amongst the top 5-10 masto instances! (https://fedidb.org/network/instance/lemmy.world) as become the “second platform” by size.

Apart from running it well and keeping up to date (recent update seems to have gone well, with a nice example of instances and admins helping each other!?), some redditers seek the big instances?? Curious how communities will adapt.

@ruud
I had a list of competing commercial alternatives somewhere.. maybe I can dig it up. But I would certainly touch base with jerry@infosec.exchange because I think he dealt with attacks quite cleverly without having to use CF or any MitM of that kind. Part of his solution involves standing up an onion host & redirecting tor traffic there. But before that step, he has a way of tar-pitting suspicious traffic on the clearnet side. There is also a fedi user “tallship” who suggests having a few VPSs geographically spread out and load-balanced with some fancy DNS stuff that’s over my head.

digitalRightsNinja,
@digitalRightsNinja@fedi.at avatar

@ruud There’s also a baby step in the right direction that can be taken to minimize CF exposure until a permanent fix is established: a site can use a Cloudflare NS service but not the reverse proxy service. When the server load hits a set threashold it can turn on the CF proxy on-the-fly until the load drops. So at least during off-peak moments users have a chance at not being exposed to or blocked by CF. This approach is used by forum.fail and kbin.social, last time i checked.

@fediversenews

So, I think I've dug as deeply into the drama as I need to, and settled on some conclusions.

  • Most basically, the best insights came from seeing conversations on another platform: discord.

Admins from both sides were talking. And as it's a chat platform, the engagement and conversation was clearly more direct, free, expressive and clarifying.

If the fediverse wants to be the new internet, seriously, it needs to growup and move on from just microblogging.

  • The "drama" isn't over. Because it's a process, and that's a good thing.

is currently reviewing their rules (and were prior to the blocks) and has always (it seems) invited feedback, participation and being pushed to be better.

They seemed a little salty that there wasn't more engagement in that philosophy (rather than blocks), and as you can guess, I appreciate the sentiment.

@maegul Thanks for the thread. Once tens of thousands of people are affected, decision speed ought to slow down.
