I'm seeing some mis-attributed comments from mastodon.social - probably need to look into that. Since it's only one site and Eugen's playground and it started a few hours ago, I'll wait a day or two just in case it's a temporary bug on that side.
-
I was thinking of turning the entire project into a cooperative; as a workable business and organisational model.
I started down this path with some rules of governance which were taken directly from successful co-ops. Unfortunately that was about the time of the 'blabla' rebellion and I had to re-assert control to try and keep the community from fragmenting. Now I'm working outside the project so if such a move were to be attempted again it would probably have to come from within. It would be a refreshing change from the dictatorial or Stallmanesque or corporate-sponsored open source models that are prevalent today - and I've seen cooperatives thrive here in Oz.

You were thinking of having some cooperativley run servers for Hubzilla?

This is what I tried to do a year or two ago before I got blindsided.
Start here. When you reach the end, follow the links and keep reading.
Social.coop: A Cooperative Decentralized Social Network
Social.coop is a cooperatively run instance of Mastodon, a decentralized social network based on open protocols and free, open-source…

ActivityPub update: Signatures
- implement LD signatures
- implement HTTP signatures
- implement signatures that actually work and will still validate a year from now
- break the requirement for ActivityPub signatures to require external/centralised resources to validate
- break the reliance on "intermittent signatures" that could fail at any time and have a shelf life
- decentralise the schema and allow it to change without breaking signatures - past or present or future
- make it all legal JSON-LD and ActivityPub
- have a #homebrew
We'll generate LD Signatures for those who think they require them, and will consume them if they can't provide anything else that actually works, but if you actually depend on LD Signatures, you're basically f*cked.

The Net interprets Mastodon as damage and routes around it.

I'm on shared hosting and occasionally (rarely but it does happen) the delivery process gets killed by the process reaper before things can be queued. Since we have fallback delivery for this situation it's only a problem if the delivery process *never* succeeds. There is an open issue which suggests that this can happen in some cases on specific channels but I have not been able to reproduce.

same here... :)

What uses do you see for these cards, Mike?
-
Mostly of the important/critical bits are working now and I'm starting to amass a modest collection of project cards.
-
It doesn't federate, but it does allow interaction - (or at least it will tomorrow). So it's more of a workspace than a soapbox and more groupware than social net. And it's a feature so if you don't see any use for it, you can just leave it turned off.
-
I wonder what is the difference between a post and a card,
-
Fine! Where is that? In your red development environment?
