  • #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! ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

  • @francescotoniolo un'ultima cosa: il pensiero che fosse "poco interessante" (o "poco divertente") mi รจ venuto.
    Solo che (1) quel che diverte me potrebbe non divertire gli altri e (2) senza feedback, รจ difficile capirlo da soli.

    Quindi ripeto i ringraziamenti per il tempo che mi hai dedicato ๐Ÿ˜

  • It's weird to think how we humans are stupid.

    Internet was created to be resilient even to nuclear attacks. It was created so that when a piece goes down, everything else can continue.
    Distributed architecture, addressing, error checking, ...

    ...

    And nowadays everything passes through Akamai, AWS, Cloudflare and (very) few other actors.

    ...

    No, humans, good job. Good job humans.
    You deserve a prize for that.

    ...

    Extinction.

  • @francescotoniolo intanto grazie per il feedback iper dettagliato. Davvero tanto apprezzato.
    Per prima cosa, confermo che non ho pensato di inserire un modo per riaprire il tutorial.
    Poi, per quanto riguarda la "player experience"... non so cosa rispondere. Sicuramente non ho "spinto" su dettagli che fanno subito capire cosa si deve fare, ma nella mia testa (e sicuramente รจ quello il problema) se sei una navetta nello spazio, vai a cercare pianeti.

  • L'Italia in una immagine.
    Avevo scattato la foto diversi anni fa, in un ospedale. Invece di cambiare la serratura guasta un "genio" pensรฒ bene di fare due fori alle ante della porta per metterci catena e catenaccio.
    Ci avrei incatenato il responsabile di reparto, a quella porta, con un cartello al collo: sputatemi.

    Tecnicamente รจ vero.

    Ma c'รจ il fastidioso effetto collaterale che non saprei come vivere.
