jrollans.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Não entendi qual seria o dano de manter a disponibilidade do conteúdo por esse protocolo, ainda que não funcione exatamente como tenha imaginado antes.
É realmente necessário ter ampla audiência para mantê-lo ligado? RSS tem público suficiente para justificar isso? Nessa lógica, não teria certeza nem se o esforço de manter conteúdo na Web aberta seria suficiente, atualmente. A busca pela máxima audiência acaba aumentando o potencial de nos rendermos à #BigTech.
A concentração no servidor mastodon.social também é, infelizmente, uma maneira não saudável de reforçar seu domínio da Federação em torno do ActivityPub, gerando uma "instância" grande demais para ser eventualmente desfederada, bem como de seu software específico perante o protocolo. Sugerimos que migrem para algum servidor entre tantos geridos por pessoas brasileiras. Sintam-se convidades para #Ayom, tanto para microblogue Mastodon quanto para o Lemmy.
Enfim, se a decisão de retirar o blogue for definitiva, lamentamos desde já que não teremos mais uma fonte direta de excelente conteúdo em meio às demais atividades que acompanhamos por aqui.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.82 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29259
The GitHub Continuous Integration checks are still running.
Assuming they complete OK, it's still up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).
Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1)
for more information).
The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.
Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).
Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).
A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).
Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.
Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.
If you find #snac useful, please consider buying grunfink a coffee or contributing via LiberaPay.
Notifications are now shown in a more compact way (i.e. all reactions are shown just above your post, instead of repeating the post ad nauseam for every reaction).
New command-line option unmute
to, well, no-longer-mute an actor.
The private timeline now includes an approximate mark between new posts and "already seen" ones.
Fixed a spurious 404 error in the instance root URL for some configurations.
