#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! 🏳️🌈

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.

But I also think people are concerned about bots that aren't friendly or compliant -- for example, "dark" LLM training bots that ignore robots.txt and other signals. I don't think that arguing or signalling helps in those cases. Having a private account and posting followers-only does, though.

I also think advisory signals, like robots.txt and meta tags, or the indexable/discoverable flags on Mastodon accounts, can be helpful with compliant and friendly bots -- especially search engine or archiving bots.
