@ophiocephalic@jdp23@thisismissem@Gargron@eilah_tan Nobody said that new ideas should not be tried. But not every idea should be implemented in core. The software is opinionated (like every software) and allow-list based federation is not something that the team feels is a good idea and there are other things to try. Funding is good, but funding something / someone does not mean it will be integrated in Mastodon
@jdp23@ophiocephalic@thisismissem@Gargron@eilah_tan I dont think anybody said otherwise, and as I said, we want to improve things here. According to internal tickets, I think we are open to have a default (opt-out at install) blocklist with the "worst-of-the-worst” servers, and the ability to subscribe to other community-maintained blocklists.
@thisismissem@jdp23@Gargron@ophiocephalic@eilah_tan I dont think the opinion on this feature changed, if I understand if correctly (allowing only selected servers to federate). This is very hostile to small instances and against the federation principles. But we want to improve blocks, including lists syncing, admin approval before apply and such. We also have a soon merged feature notifying users of severed relationships due to blocks.
@b0rk This has been discussed but it requires backend / federation changes, so for now this is not customisable as it allows experimenting with the feature quickly. If the results are good and we find the best form for this feature (it will most probably evolve), then we might do it.
Let's welcome @TypeScript on Mastodon 👋 Some volunteers are reaching out to large open-source projects to get them an official (verified) account here, if you are a maintainer for some of them, it often do not take much to get it done 👍
@erick n’hésite pas, et commence par Mistborn. J’ai pas encore lu Tress car j’essaie de suivre un ordre qui va bien pour appréhender l’univers, mais je suis un grand amateur de worldbuilding et 🤯
@erick@kgaut je pense que dès que j’ai fini l’intégrale du Cosmere j’enchaîne sur le Cytoverse 👍 Bon, ya encore un peu de lecture, il écrit beaucoup le monsieur
@kgaut Je n'arrive pas à décrocher des livres du Cosmere de Sanderson. J’ai enchaîné la saga Mistborn, puis Wax & Wayne, puis Stormlight Archives, puis Warbreaker, puis…
