#GoToSocial has been approved for NLnet NGI Zero Commons funding for 2026! That is, among a number of other cool projects you can check out here:
https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20251016-selection-NGI0CommonsFund.html
The blurb for what we'll be working on in 2026 is as follows:
GoToSocial is an ActivityPub social network server, written in Go. It complements existing ActivityPub implementations by providing a lightweight, customizable entryway into decentralized social media hosting. GoToSocial places a high value on ease of deployment and maintenance; this means low system requirements, minimal external dependencies, and clear documentation. GoToSocial empowers self-hosting newcomers to deploy small, personalized instances, from which they connect to others across the Fediverse, using low-powered equipment lying around at home. In this project, the GoToSocial team adds new moderation and federation features to GoToSocial, bringing it towards a version 1.0 release (projected end 2026).
Translated to something more concrete, that means we're going to be working on implementing: relay support, instance limits and mutes, old status cleanup, more easily configurable memory usage, tracking of unreachable instances, better search, and a bunch of performance improvements to keep GtS running well on lower-spec computers. And of course, fixing bugs, and likely implementing a few other cheeky features between the soup and the potatoes (kim is interested in looking at quote posts, for example, and tobi will likely do some silly things like the recent ListenBrainz integration).
If things turn out favorably, this chunk of work will bring us towards calling a proper v1.0.0 release by the end of 2026. Ie., we'll finally be able to say "it's good enough to recommend to people".
Thanks for reading! 🏳️🌈

Why am I making an RSS reader? I don't know. There are a thousand RSS readers out there already, and they all read RSS feeds, but none of them work the way I'd like them to. So I'm making my own.
It's obviously a terrible idea. So why do it?
Mostly for fun.
There are all sorts of interesting things being published on the web every day, but they're kind of all over the place.
I enjoy sitting down on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and an hour to myself, but I don't enjoy opening my email inbox to read a newsletter, only to get sidetracked by 5 new emails that I should probably respond to. I don't enjoy wrestling my RSS app, which hasn't been updated in about 10 years and has a horrible reading experience. Reading links from Twitter gets me lost down an algorithm hole. YouTube doesn't even show me new videos from people I'm subscribed to.
I wish it were just all in one place. Without all the noise and engagement farming. Just a quiet little spot where I could catch up with things I care about.
That's what I'm making.
I'm calling it Alcove.
If you want to follow along with this questionable side project of undefined scope, I'm sharing live updates of progress on Twitter, here.
There's a more than half-decent chance of a disastrous outcome.

All the "memory is cheap" developers can truly shut the fuck up now.

E ha vietato di usarle perché non erano sicure.
Qui il punto è un articolo di Umberto Rapetto , generale della Guardia di Finanza in congedo, già comandante del GAT Nucleo Speciale Frodi Telematiche eccetera eccetera che spara delle cazzate pazzesche, spacciandolo per una diminuzione della sicurezza dovuta alla moda.
"Il cosiddetto “codice usa-e-getta” adesso viene generato tramite il cellulare del correntista grazie ad una delle dilaganti “app” che vanno tanto di moda.
La “chiavetta” ad un solo pulsante e la sua sorella più accessoriata con tanto di tastierino erano un indiscutibile punto di forza, ma probabilmente non passare ad una soluzione basata sullo smartphone poteva far sembrare “vecchia” la banca che aveva ancora in esercizio un sistema datato ma straordinariamente arzillo.
Bisogna far tutto con il cellulare per non passare per rincoglioniti. Bisogna farlo anche se le frodi sono in agguato e proprio quello strumento telefonico si configura come l’anello debole della catena."

@AdoroIlGenio e a proposito...

@las_lallero Che palle. Io mi ricordo quando l’Eurovision era solo musica e niente politica. Io continuerò a vederlo perché sono un grande fan del format. Ma effettivamente così come hanno rimosso la Russia (grande peccato perché a livello musicale tirava fuori delle perle bellissime) dovrebbero rimuovere Israele…
Due pesi e due misure per davvero

@mcc @ireneista Great. Thanks.
