overview for stefano

@zirias@snac.bsd.cafe @modev@snac.bsd.cafe Entire instances can be blocked using the command line, but they're using many (abandoned? loosely moderated?) instances.
We can also set the "drop posts from accounts created less than X seconds ago". We could set a 86400 seconds - but we could lose new users, posting their introductions.

For now, I've blocked those instances you pointed out

Just to clarify: when I boost a post, it doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with it.
Often, I do it just to give visibility (and, consequently, to see the comments) on the topic being discussed - especially if it’s a post from a BSD Cafe user.

In my opinion, every government, public entity, association, foundation, etc., that needs to communicate with the public should have its own communication channel, with full control over its data and the messages it delivers. When I read “my Discord server,” I feel like responding “there’s nothing ‘yours’ about it - tomorrow morning they could shut everything down, and you would have lost EVERYTHING.”. Own your data!

Sometimes, I read that instances are not opened because of “costs not balanced by the number of users.” But even public television channels are often economically unprofitable, yet they are considered an essential service for public communication. Open, decentralized technologies that ensure control over one’s data should be treated the same way.

Good morning, #fediverse!

OpenBSD 7.6 has been released, and most of my OpenBSD servers have already been upgraded.

Everything's been smooth and linear, as usual.

After getting to try the #Snac activity pub server developed by @grunfink on bsd.cafe thanks @stefano , I'm kind of tempted to spin up my own instance. Anyone here other than Stefano that runs their in c/fediverse@fedia.io

@justine@bsd.cafe @normis@s.dodies.lv Interesting. I'll try to test it further

@normis@s.dodies.lv @justine@bsd.cafe yes, I can confirm that Mastodon seems to stick with the @ mention, and fails to always understand when this is missing. Tusky is adding it itself, so using Tusky with snac will produce a Mastodon-like behavior

@justine@bsd.cafe @grunfink@comam.es I'm using the web interface, Enafore and Tusky, depending on my workstation/task.
Spinning your own instance can be a nice experience and I'd normally encourage it but I don't want you to abandon the BSD Cafe 😉
Joking, of course. Running snac on the BSDs is a joy. And when the move (both in and out) will be implemented, I'm expecting many more users trying snac

Been seeing posts about #Snac2 and had a quick look. It looks very similar to #Mastodon but without the Java and so on. Are there really any benefits from using it as a server for Mastodon ?? Please in c/fediverse@fedia.io

[-] stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe 2 points 1 month ago

@justine@bsd.cafe It's simple, almost no dependencies, you can host it everywhere.
But the experience isn't as complete or "polished" as with Mastodon.
If you want to, I can create you a test account on https://snac.bsd.cafe so you can try it yourself

Snac2 is an excellent software solution for accessing the Fediverse. It is lightweight, very easy to compile and install, has minimal dependencies, and the development is progressing along a clear, clean, and logical path - thank you, @grunfink@comam.es

Since last December, BSD Cafe has had, among its services, a snac instance - https://snac.bsd.cafe - which has been used sparingly, mainly by some for testing purposes. I’ve kept it as a 'testing' option.

In light of the interest it is generating (we now have stable users) and given that development is evolving to allow for both inbound and outbound movement, I have decided to designate it as a stable solution for accessing the Fediverse and to consider it a primary service of the BSD Cafe.

It has always received the utmost attention, I have consistently updated it promptly, and it has always been accessible, but I have also modified all the descriptions to clarify that it is a stable and definitive solution.

For more information, there is always a dedicated page on our wiki: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/snac.bsd.cafe

Stay Tuned!

@miki@dragonscave.space the same could happen if the X accounts gets hacked. Or the website. Having multiple communication channels is the key to avoid those kinds of problems.
Monoculture is always a problem.

FreeBSD support is good, so you're not forced to use Linux to enjoy it.
