Just testing out Bonfire!
I'm honestly really excited to be doing this. I'm a little nervous that people will look at this and say "FEDIVERSE YAHOO!? IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN COME UP WITH?! YOU ABSOLUTE HACK!'
But I think the vision is good, and that this could end up being great.
OK, who are the experts on #DistributedSystems on the #Fediverse? There is a new #FEP for implementing a scalar #LogicalClock in #ActivityPub, #FEP4f18.
I'm especially interested in mitigations for Byzantine faults in the system; right now, it's kind of hand-wavy based on value and trust heuristics:
Hey, friends! We're just getting moved over to Fedizen, along with the rest of the accounts at social.wedistribute.org. This is our new home! 🥳
@gabboman@gabboman.xyz That album is so freaking good. ♥️ Neil Cicirega.
@anca@mastodon.xyz That's so awesome!
@benpate@mastodon.social Ugh, too real. I always try to hop between sessions, but it's tough!
Slightly salty to be missing out on #FediForum today. I look forward to seeing the demos and hearing about what discussions took place!
The secret to building fediverse platforms people love? Listen.
Listen to your community. Prioritize their feedback. Keep shipping privacy and safety improvements.
I have a vision for Pixelfed and Loops, but the community leads the way.
Admins thrive when they can customize, curate and control their communities. My job is to make that easier for admins, users, and 3rd party developers too!
@kjv@mastodon.gamedev.place Not as far as I know, but the project is still relatively young. it offers partial compatibility with Mastodon apps, but also GraphQL and ActivityPub C2S APIs. I don't think many people have built a Fediverse app with those parts yet.
#Bonfire Instance goals for today: copy over our server rules, ToS, and Privacy Policy, get Search up and running, move the remaining accounts from our Akkoma instance over here, close down the Akkoma instance, and write a big fancy article about what we're trying to build.
@Prometheus@infosec.exchange Nah, just Android. But also, don't worry, I'm testing client compatibility with Bonfire. 😁
@kjv@mastodon.gamedev.place Aww, I appreciate the thought. Nope, just testing out what things work with Bonfire.
Edit: I moved from Akkoma to Bonfire. I'm testing compatibility as part of the dogfooding process.
Got Tusky working, which is better than nothing. Some minor issues, avatars aren't showing up currently, so more experiments are necessary.
I will miss my beloved Moshidon in the meantime... 🥺
Okay! Looks like our Object Storage is good to go, now it's just a matter of getting Mastodon apps working...
@cwebber is flying to DWeb Camp on a Hooting owl with a platoon of Goblins to introduce “@spritely: painting a new vision for the Internet”

So, I want to set general expectations before kicking things off officially.
Yes, We Distribute is launching a #Bonfire community and will be collaborating with the devs to build a unique flavor of it. We're still in the process of getting the basics set up, so please...be gentle.
I still have a few chores to do before pulling some levers and migrating our old Akkoma accounts over, but I'm really excited! We've wanted to do Bonfire for a long time!
Just setting up my Bonfire...
