@fediverso Please could you message us the email address you applied with and we'll try to get you right in?

HI @nighthawk, Surf is an app (currently in beta) that allows you to create topical feeds that include social posts (fediverse, Bluesky, Threads) and RSS, podcasts, YouTube and Flipboard Magazines. You can create an account and log in with your Mastodon or Bluesky handle, and then interact with posts on either platform directly from Surf. If you decide to sign up for the beta, do let us know the email address you used, and we'll try and get you right in!

@surf applied for the beta and got in within a few days, thanks!
First observation: it takes forever to load the initial feed when I open the app (“gathering posts from across the social web”).

A working group might be able to come up with other, non-software strategies for dealing with this shit. Perhaps relying on new features in the software that don't actually ID anyone but could attach the status of having BEEN IDed or just let in and I'll take responsibility.
But it takes actually thinking about and studying a problem to come up with answers like that. You can't just shove your head up your ass and then yell at it.

@nitrml @fbinin @ret @mellifluousbox Should be noted that if we all actually did manage to get sentenced to prison we'd either break the system or end up in warehouses in the desert surrounded by overheated assholes in cammo.
Either way, problem solved.
-
@mellifluousbox It has to be thought about. Sometime soon people may have to decide if they're going to implement age verification or shut down their servers. If they're to be provided any answers, be they implemented options or a documented reason why this is just done, then the effort to come up with them needs to start before they're needed.
-
Also, you should give yourself a break and use the miscellany context.
-
@nitrml how do you think they’ll implement age verification on mastodon dot social? Special fork? No. It’ll be baked into the software, which will create a precedent for this to be implemented everywhere.
-
@gbargoud they’re free to make their own decisions about whether they comply or not. The instance I’m using right now is in violation of UK law. Probably Saudi law, Iranian law, Chinese law, etc etc… there’s no winning this.
-
@raphael @liaizon @smallcircles @django ha! There are a lot of Djangos involved in the social API.
-
@ret you claim things ("no need for a working group") and when told that they need to assess their organization for these risks (not the software! Their organization!) you start talking about the software. If you dont care what they do regarding dot social, then this whole thing shouldnt be relevant to you.
Except if they do something to the software itself. That would impact other servers, and that would be a different discussion. But thats not where any of this is right now.
