  • @jonny@neuromatch.social honestly good for you for investing the time to critique this knowing it's AI (adjacent or wholesale) involvement.

    giving a further read: I can't really imagine a case where someone would a) regularly be creating signed backups and also b) know in advance where you wanted to migrate to to set the destination_did. Like if this is for the case where the instance has shut down, you might have some signed backup, but you probably haven't planned in advance where you would want to migrate, and if the instance is down you wouldn't be able to create the migration object after the fact.

    the validation strategy for the export is sort of mystifying to me. if the whole object is signed, then why would you need a merkle tree for objects and also an object count? if the contents of the object have changed post signing, then the signature validation will just fail and those are irrelevant.

    true to form for LLM generated documents, several critical things are left undefined, like what last_accepted_sequence is or how that works.

    probably the most important problem is that it's not really clear how all other instances are supposed to handle this, which is the entire hard part of a migration spec. Like, if the purpose here is to preserve identity, then you would need to have all the other instances come to see the new identity as being equivalent to the old identity, and there's no discussion of how that process works for third-party instances at all. like e.g. in FEP-1580 i had to spend a long time gaming out scenarios for how third party instances would handle a move event.

    so without that it's not really an account portabiltiy spec, it's an account export/import spec, which is fine, just not really needed since signing objects and collections (which this spec should use anyway) is already described by other specs.

  • @silverpillThank you , these are important corrections and I appreciate you taking the time.
    You're right on both points. I'll update the spec to reflect that FEP-ef61 authority is not actor-rooted in the way I described, and that migration is possible via outbox export-import. I was overstating the gap.
    The distinction I was trying to draw is narrower:

    I have a couple of comments regarding the spec https://codeberg.org/portafed/portafed/src/branch/main/portafed-spec/spec.md

    It contains a comparison with FEP-ef61, but it is not quite correct:

    - FEP-ef61 identity is not actor-rooted. The closest equivalent of FEP-ef61 identity in normal ActivityPub is a server with a domain name. A single FEP-ef61 authority can manage multiple actor documents.
    - FEP-ef61 does not lack a migration flow. Strictly speaking, it doesn't need one, because data is not attached to a server and can be continuously synchronized between multiple servers. But a more familiar migration flow is also possible via outbox export-import.

  • @benpate That would be great and happy to contribute wherever it fits.
    My guess on the scope decision is the same as yours: hostile-server recovery is genuinely harder, and a cooperative spec is already a lot to get right. Makes sense to tackle it separately.
    Take your time reading. I'll put together a short write-up of how MigrationProof could slot into the existing spec easier to react to something concrete than to an abstract pitch.

    A big thank you to those who contributed to making this release, translating, writing documentation, providing emotional support and promoting PieFed! None of this would happen without you all. New hotness Pronouns - when you put pronouns into Extra Fields on your profile that is used as a flair in all communities where you haven't set a flair yet Private communities - no federation, only certain roles (depends on the community) can invite new people. Posts inside are only visible to members. Mastodon can now quote-boost PieFed posts Plain http web UI (no SSL required) with SSL used during federation - see http://retro.piefed.com Downvotes can be turned off completely in a community, not just instance-wide Admins can sticky a post on the home page, not just mods in their communities Auto-delete of replies on remote instances when reply author has been blocked by parent content author (only works in PieFed communities due to a ActivityPub limitation) On home page when showing number of replies a post has, calculate the sum of the replies on all cross-posts and display that New users can only do 3 posts in their first 24h, to reduce floods of posts by that guy who keeps deleting his accounts and making new ones More good stuff Improve emoji federation compatibility Change order of emoji in picker to present most-used ones first Daily time limit on usage to help people use PieFed less (released in 1.5.2) A way to report posts that need to be tagged as AI generated Better accessibility Improved handling of bold and italics in markdown parsing Don't accept votes from people the author has blocked Admins can resend email address verification email Admins can add notes to instances to keep track of defederation reasons, etc Search form has been simplified Option for admins to disable the em-dash detector Multiple minor bugfixes and security enhancements To upgrade from 1.5.x git pull git checkout v1.6.x At this point you might see an error message about a merge conflict with compose.yaml. To preserve your custom compose.yaml you will need to copy it somewhere else, then git checkout compose.yaml then git pull again. This time the pull will succeed so after that copy your custom compose.yaml it back, overwriting the one from git. Then, ./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh If you had to do the compose.yaml fix up earlier then you might want to compare what you have with https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/compose.yaml and manually copy and paste some improvements in particular the command: part of the db container which tunes postgresql for performance. Adjust the numbers for your system. This time the database migrations will not take long.

    @untilted I can see how someone running an account that is especially attractive to trolls, especially an account that gets a lot of visibility and follow requests, might find this necessary. Keep in mind following an account isn’t just about reading the posts, but also can include followers only posts and DMs open to followers only.
