@wire perhaps I'm getting confused between #Signal, #Telegram, and #Wire. From what I remember, Moxie liberated the Signal client source before setting up #OWS, but resisted releasing the server source for some time, claiming there was no point. Just as he still claims there's no point replacing Google Play Services in mainstream Signal, or distributing the Android client in #FDroid, or supporting #federation between servers. Some people discussing this in 2016:

@alexl

... and in #GoodNews, #Wire not only confirms they're working on secure, federated chat, but #federation will be part of the #MLS protocol being standardized at the #IETF :
"During this interim the proposal was made to include federation more strongly in the design considerations and the proposal was adopted as a future goal for MLS. Wire's goal has always been to achieve federation between different compatible backends and this brings us one step closer to that goal!"

Investment capital tries to make digital platforms achieve "scale" as a #biomimicry of cancer, making small things grow forever at exponential rates. If we're going to mimic anything in the natural world, it ought to be the fungal mycelium that connects to the roots of all the plants in a forest, and exchanges resources between them. A mutually beneficial network, loosely joining many small things, which becomes more than the sum of its parts. In other words, #federation.

@alexl see the 2-3 length discussions I've had here over the year about chat apps. TL;DR Wire is #copyleft #FreeCode on both client and server side, and has plans to support #federation between Wire servers. #Electron is a downside, but they are ok with community-created clients without Electron to connect to their server (unlike #Signal, don't know about #Telegram)

What is a #Cuckpod?

The precise criteria are somewhat murky, but it seems to involve hurting a Nazi's feelings. Various lame attempts have been made at creating a static list, but thanks to @[https://podupti.me](/people/5ec992ef88b6e211) we have proper software to do this.

If you're a #cuckpodmin, or just wish you were, add your pod to the list so all of the edgelord shitheels in the Federation know to steer clear of your NPC ass. If you sign up in the next 30 days, George Soros will cover all of your hosting expenses for a year*!

(* I mean, unless he already does -- which is pretty much a given, amirite?)

♲ @dredmorbius@mastodon.cloud: Federated Networks Association

Federated Networks Association Ry is a non-profit volunteer organization that aims to spread knowledge about federated web projects and help people and projects involved in this area.

#federatedNet #federatedWed #plexodus #federation #decentralizedWeb

♲ @zauberstuhl@diaspodon.fr: Currently the federated web holds 35 projects with 9 different protocols (source: the-federation.info) all trying to connect and communicate with each other. But does that actually work?

feneas.org/federation-testsuit…

#feneas #testsuite #federation #fediverse

It may have taken 6 months, but I think it was worth the wait. #pixelfed #federation #soon

♲ @pixelfed@mastodon.social: Update: We have successfully tested federation (following, likes, shares and replies).

Our goal is to deploy this to a few instances this week and work out any bugs before the v1.0 release. #pixelfed #federation

@LWFlouisa @LPS exactly. Or how the EU or UN actually work (in some aspects anyway). Some people are only learning about the concept of #federation in the context of the #fediverse, but as you probably know, it's been a key part of #anarchist theory and practice for centuries. If anyone is keen to learn more about that, here's as good a place to start as any:
