Hi from normals.me. If you can read this, the federation works
This post is written on https://normals.me and delivered to !fediverse@lemmy.world over #ActivityPub, so if you are reading it the basic plumbing works. Now let me explain what is this.
Normals is a forum with communities, threads, and questions with an accepted answer. It is a single instance, not software you can host, and the core is closed for anti-abuse reasons. The federation module will be published separately with implementation notes (FEP-67ff).
What federates today Every community is a Group actor following the Lemmy model (FEP-1b12). Follow @selfhosted@normals.me or any other community from Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin or Mastodon.
Posts and comments go both ways. Replies from your instance appear in the thread on Normals, replies from Normals go back to the origin.
Remote content is labelled with its origin, links back to it, and is never copied. Media loads from the source.
Signed fetches, so it works with instances that require authorized fetch. NodeInfo 2.1 is up.
Policies, in case they matter to you, it has no ads, and no paid reach, and of course no AI training on posts. AI crawlers blocked by default, public mod log with reasons, and no automated removals. Numbers at https://normals.me/transparency so please take a look.
If something from your instance shows up wrong here, or something from here shows up wrong on yours, reply with the URL and I'll fix it. Andy Piper mentioned NodeBB uses the same group model, if anyone runs a NodeBB instance I'd like to test against it, if possible.
I hope we all have fun. Cheers!

Good question, however the security model doesn't depend on the code being secret, and it shouldn't. The auth, signatures, permissions and input handling are standard and went through an OWASP review before launch.
What's closed is the anti-abuse layer, spam, rate-limit tuning, the signals for detecting ban evasion and coordinated accounts. Those work partly because spammers don't know the exact numbers. Lemmy's and Mastodon's are public and they get played for exactly that reason. Hope it helps :)
Nothing stops those being adjustable tunables.

Closed source and clearly completely vibe coded? Just look at the site, it reeks of AI. Even this post has so much AI-speech.
Yea, no thanks.

@jtonline Alan Moore is a good writer?
politics, especially in the US, are weird
like, before an election, parties and candidates and organizations run campaigns full of attack ads when they tell people "voting for this party will be the biggest mistake of your life" or "that candidate is a hypocrite who will only do terrible things for your country", but then the election is over, and all the politicians get back to work, including with those from the parties they spent the whole campaign ragging on about
and, like, we know that -- after all, most people who ever worked a job know at least some coworkers they despise, but have to keep some level of friendly relations with, in order to maintain a productive work relationship
i've been thinking about a CGP grey video about supreme court shenanigans in the US, where nominally, a president is allowed to temporarily appoint people if congress is on recess, but the congress solved that by not forming a recess and just doing a "pro-forma session" once every three days where the minimum required amount of congresspeople attend and just pretend there's a quorum because nobody's bothered to ask for one
and, like, you would think that, theoretically, it would be easy for one congressperson from the opposing party to show up and ruin the whole think by explicitly asking for a quorum, having it fail, and then letting a friendly president do the things they want to
but congresspeople like taking vacations, and i bet that anyone who actually tries blocking a pro-forma session like that will stop being merely a coworker or opponent and become actively hated by members from both parties, denied any support in the next election, and so on
i imagine that this is why there is a disconnect between how we expect politicians to act and how they act in reality -- they're rivals and sometimes enemies in the public arena, but when they actually need to do their job, they are still colleagues
this isn't corruption or a conspiracy, but just the end result of regular workplace dynamics, applied to a representative democracy

if the core is closed for the stated reason, does that mean you are unsure about the safety of the system?
i once had a depressive episode triggered by Death of a Salesman. and it makes me think of how inadequate the concept of reviews are because in all regards my experience consuming this work of media was very negative and not something I could recommend, yet i also overwhelmingly feel it is one of the greatest plays ever written and an important work of art. a five star system cannot account for "as a vector of emotions and thematic arguments it is outstanding, as entertainment it is horrible"
similar, the iceman cometh
"by god there's no hope"
