Finally got around to checking out Revolt Chat. It's basically a Free Code Discord clone. If they were going to federate with other chat servers, matrix is probably the best choice, given it's a room-orientated UX and needs a concept like Spaces. If anyone thinks that Revolt could be federated with XMPP, I'd be interested to hear some details on how that would work.

C'est acté, #Pixelfed annonce faire sécession avec le Fédivers.

@ploum l'avait annoncé, nous y sommes.

Citation du développeur principal:
"Sorry but Pixelfed users don't want to see WordPress/Ghost/WriteFreely posts in feeds just because they have an image attachment.

The purpose of Pixelfed is photo sharing, that is the context, not the caption, the caption can be empty, because it's not the focus.

Let the microblogging platforms handle this."

#fedivers #fédération

https://Loops.Video could be the #Fediverse’s breakout moment because #shortvideo is where habits already live.

If it matches the swipe-speed joy of mainstream apps while keeping open follows, portable identity, and community moderation, #creators get reach without lock-in.

One viral template or creator wave can turn #federation from concept into daily routine: and that’s how ecosystems tip.

#Loops key: frictionless onboarding, fast discovery, and easy cross-posting to other servers.

Sneak Preview for clj-threats - we have released the first version.

https://repo.prod.meissa.de/meissa/clj-threats

clj-threats is devops style tool for continuous threat analysis.
The system definition is compatible with threagile, but we added attack trees.

We will enhance the attack tree library while using this tool for the threat analysis for federated forgejo.

Of all of the chat platforms I have available to me. I like Matrix the most, but i struggle to get others to use it.

It's free, private (if you need it to be), and could replace Discord as a platform. But I cant seem to convince others to join me, even groups of fellow nerds, they just arent interested.

After a long time, carrying the Matrix torch, I am considering abandoning ship. One less platform to monitor (admittedly its easy to monitor,. NO ONE interacts with me there), one less service to maintain (i run my own homeserver), one less piece of software to monitor for updates. One less window to have open all of the time, and One less app on my phone.

Talk me out of it folks, am I wrong here?

Another small step in Forgejo federation.

Getting Forgejo and mastodon services to talk had some unexpected pitfalls.
Mastodon only federates on port 443 for example, that means Forgejo needs to be able to listen on a privileged port even for testing. You can imagine the troubles setting up our e2e tests properly.

This is finally behind us and were now aiming to integrate the test into the automated test suite (with a lot of work already done by @famfo)

Today's AWS debacle is the perfect example of the reason why in the last few years I started to be less enthusiastic about Signal, and more oriented to federated or even P2P solutions like XMPP and Jami. I wrote about it already:

https://gagliardoni.net/#im_battle_2025

Signal was down for few hours today, after an aoutage that affected AWS:

https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith/115405436746725236

Let's ignore for a second the blind reliance on AWS or any other cloud provider. In a decentralized system, this would not have happened, or at least it would have not impacted so many users.

Yes, I am a cryptographer myself, I know that Signal's encryption is the best. But encryption is not everything. Availability issues, geopolitical troubles, risk of enshittification, limitations on users' freedom to use and control the software lead to a lack of trust, even in a supersecure solution. And I say that with honest admiration for the folks at Signal, who are doing a great job.

May they prove me wrong over and over again.

It’s not finished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. 🥹

Loops is now open, built in public, and growing every day — laying the groundwork for a future where you can build your own TikTok.

A future where governments can’t censor you. Where corporations can’t control the conversation. Where the social web belongs to the people again.

This is how it starts. ✊

Loops has two federation modes, Open which is default, and another called Lockdown.

With Lockdown, you have to define allowed servers, allowing for greater control over your federation experience ✨
