I just adjusted my relay instance which now also finally supports #GoToSocial! Of course, it also supports Pleroma, snac, Mastodon, littlefedi, starling and many other ones!

With relays, your own posted content gets distributed to all connected instances, as well you get the content all other instances. Currently, mostly tech related instances are connected, focusing on #Linux, #Proxmox, #BSD / #FreeBSD, #IPv6 and many other things!

There is a person I've been helping for a while who runs two instances, one #GoToSocial and one #snac.

Yesterday, they suffered severe file system corruption on their device, and I lent them a hand with the recovery. For GoToSocial, they restored the DB from the previous backup and got it running again. For snac, although a few files were lost, no action was necessary... it just started back up and did what it had to do, bringing the instance back to full operation.

This goes to show that when software is well-designed and intentionally kept simple, it's also easier to get back up and running when something goes wrong. In this case, snac's "files-only" approach demonstrated excellent resilience.

Thanks, @grunfink !

Ich hab den Code für den @umstritten Bot mal auf Codeberg gepackt:

Ist im Prinzip nur ein kurzes Shellscript, das #snac2 als Instanz, bzw. ActivityPub Gateway verwendet.

@stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social @stefano@bsd.cafe I have been contemplating moving from Mastodon to #snac2 for a while now – will there be a detailed comparison of #littleFedi to other AP servers at some point?

@grunfink

during some smoke tests, I see the new version of #snac2 has a strange behavior here: GET /api/v4/mutes , unauthenticated, still returns 200, while before it was 401 (more understandable).

Is it a bug?

I don’t think we should frame this in terms of being “competitors.” Developing software can be fun, and it is also part of the learning process.

I forked GoToSocial to create Aktor because I wanted to add features that, in my opinion, were missing.

Now I’m carefully studying the #snac2 code and developing something similar in Ada/SPARK. Why? Because it’s fun, and because I wanted to refresh my Ada skills.

So why call us “competitors”? What would be the point? Where exactly is the market in which we are supposed to be competing?

I think we should stop fighting and try to cooperate instead. The Fediverse is not going to build itself, and I don’t see the point of implementing federation in software if the people developing it refuse to federate with one another and choose to “compete” instead.
