FediCon/FOSSY 2026 Live Thread
-
Some hard truths about the ActivityPub API -- managing state is hard when you are using a linear timeline as provided by the C2S inbox and outbox.

-
An impromptu lightning talk by @roost@hachyderm.io about Trust & Safety

-
People are reinventing the exact same tools to solve the exact same problems. The tools themselves are not magical and special, so there's no need to reinvent them.

-
"The reason why Roost exists? Trust and Safety is kind of broken (on fedi?)"

-
Now we have @skavish@welley.social about Private Communities!

-
Ah yes, additional nomenclatural differences <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f62c.png?v=8161d5c9b56" title="

When 1b12 fails (according to @skavish@welley.social)

-
@skavish@welley.social argues private communities should not be federating content outward, just granting access.

Day 3 of FOSSY aka Day 2 of FediCon starts with a panel featuring @evan@cosocial.ca @reiver@mastodon.social @django@social.coop and @ozoned@btfree.social!

-
First up, the panellists are asked to describe the fediverse in 6 words or less <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f62c.png?v=8161d5c9b56" title="
" /> glad I'm not up there!
@django@social.coop says "when big social blows up, confettiverse" (apologies if I quoted it wrong!)
-
Q: "is BlueSky on the Fediverse?"
@reiver@mastodon.social "Evan why don't you take this one"
-
Q: "is Truth Social on the Fediverse?"
Now @ozoned@btfree.social explaining (very carefully) that Truth Social is built on the Mastodon codebase but functions like an island. It does not federate.


-
I did not know that @django@social.coop was based in Edmonton!
The contingent of Canadian AP developers continues to grow... No wonder all of the Fediverse conferences in the Americas are in Canada <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f60f.png?v=8161d5c9b56" title="

The panelists now asked which default server they'd recommend. These questions are hard!

Even @ozoned@btfree.social wasn't sure prior to the panel.
@evan@cosocial.ca suggesting that maybe you already have one and don't know; suggests checking your orgs and associations; possibly self-hosting or checking joinmastodon.org
@django@social.coop warns about checking Instance rules to align on values.
@ozoned@btfree.social suggesting Mastodon for twitter fans, Pixelfed for Instagram fans, forums for topical based discussions (plus a shoutout for ActivityPub.Space, thanks!)
-
In response to the question "what should the Fediverse not be?"
@ozoned@btfree.social warning against turning it back into walled gardens.
-
@liaizon@social.wake.st I'll ask for you!
