I think that sounds like a really good idea, if you want to get corporate- and government hosted instances on board. What keeps most of them away from free software is that they can't write a contract with anyone with clear boundaries and guarantees. If Mastodon offers these types of contracts, it would help the adoption rate.

I honestly would've preferred a referral program where you could get a pre-configured vps at your chosen vps provider (where the end user can choose from vps providers such as Hetzner, Glesys and so on), and that the referrer (mastodon, friendica, piefed, lemmy or mbin) gets a small cut out of every monthly payment.
Though I'm not sure how to make that an intriguing deal for the vps providers.Centralizing the decentralized web at one provider sounds counter productive.

I hope they don't go open core.

I remember when I wanted Mozilla to do that, since they had the organizational might, the money, and it fit perfectly with their mission when they created mozilla.social. On the one hand, it seems slightly less ideal to have the same organization that develops mastodon also providing hosting for it. On the other hand, they probably have a better chance of doing it well.

I wish government organisations would host their own Mastodon servers. Get off Twitter.

The code is AGPL. They can't do open core.

They can. There are plenty of companies offering Mastodon hosting.

In some countries, corporations and government are basically the same entity. Free countries distinguish between them in a meaningful sense.

TIL GNU Affero General Public License it a flavor that closes loopholes that were used to extend open software without actually open sourcing your contributions.

Even then, would rather my government contract out Mastodon hosting to a company based here in the UK than to use the American Hosted and moderated Elon tool.

It's a good approach, it's exactly how NodeBB operates as well.
We have a FOSS software and we sell managed services for those who don't have the technical know-how.
Win-win.

incentive@mastodon.circlewithadot.net so what was the issue, a bug in Activity-Relay?
The LitePub section on FEP-ae0c: Fediverse Relay Protocols: Mastodon and LitePub is pretty vague about deviations from expectations. It would be good to shore up this FEP a bit.

@julian Confirmed! "relay-server | INFO[0263] Sent MutuallyFollow Request : https://activitypub.space/actor
relay-server | INFO[0263] RelayState reloaded "🤝

@julian I rebuilt the docker image with some changes in resolver - you're welcome to try again in the meantime if you wish - if not I can return to this tomorrow :)
Appreciate you looking into this with me.

incentive@mastodon.circlewithadot.net The code suggests that when parsing the follow request, it's checking object and ensuring that it is one of:
https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public It's own ID (so, https://relay-us-east.circlewithadot.net/actor)NodeBB is sending https://relay-us-east.circlewithadot.net/actor, so it should satisfy that constraint, but I am not sure where in the Activity-Relay code it is failing out.

here's a side-project we might work on. writing up what a *good* RSS feed coming from a social network would look like.
they all seem to rush through it and often leave out one crucial bit. if we just wrote up a simple profile they probably would all just do it that way.
interested??
-
@julian I think /relay needs to be added as a valid follower of /actor. I'm going to test a change really quick and see if I break it or not lol

These are two major updates any great improvements.
1/ ‚Quoots’ improve the CX on user level.
2/ ‚managed hosting‘ is a great way to establish financial independence and also drive adaption. I am sure, many orgs will appreciate this service. And I cannot wait for more public services (e.g. the police) to post their updates on mastodon instead of [insert walled garden].
Good job. 👍
