On the opt-in analytics:

They are anonymous and opt-in preference popularity analytics. You can preview what will be sent in settings. They are going to be used to determine what settings are popular and what should be the defaults.

You can find more info on the PR https://github.com/GeopJr/Tuba/pull/1166

The server's source code is located at https://github.com/GeopJr/Tuba/tree/main/server and is quite small and readable (#CrystalLang).

On FediWrapped:

If your server has generated Wrapstodon you can access it and export it within Tuba by either selecting the `#FediWrapped` option in the menu or clicking the notification.

Tuba supporters will also find a badge and decorations on their profiles. The list of Tuba supporters can also be updated outside of releases using the same server as the analytics. This is opt-in.

The list of Tuba supporters is gathered from GitHub, so if you are one, don't forget to add your Fediverse account to your profile links!

Many of the new features will be enhanced on GNOME 48, stay tuned!

That's all folks, happy holidays!
