Mastodon Breaks Compatibility with oStatus Federation

Github Issue - github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/4791

In short, Mastodon's implementation of ActivityPub has resulted in protocol-breaking changes to Mastodon instances that break reply chains federating to GNUsocial, postActiv, and Pleroma. Rather than fix the issue, Gargron has taken to mocking those who would have the oStatus compatibility maintained as Luddites and trolls instead of fixing the problem and cooperating with other developers and instance admins within the federation.

He has also confirmed in several posts that his intent was to Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish the oStatus protocol from the start, and intends to either force GNUsocial instances to conform to his federation protocol by pushing ActivityPub.

It's already dead.

How about we refuse to allow some French faggot to dictate terms for the entire federation instead of letting SJWs consolidate control over the Internet?

Here you go user:

There's usually an option to save pages at the bottom if they haven't been already.

It's also all on his feed anyways.

You don't understand the point of federation don't you ?
Point is that gargron has been shady from the beginning.
Being a huge faggot, forking and making it Rails on ruby crap that can't even do the basics that GS did.
Datamined (and still does) his user base.
Suddenly having loads of cash, hardware and hype compared to GS who is 10+ years old.
There's shit in the background if you ask me.
Anyway he's basically killing himself, the other instances that has half the market is pawoo who forked his pile of ruby garbage (instead of GS unfortunately).

majority of matsoc users are french but isn't gargoyle from berlin?

Instance is hosted in France but you're right, he seems to be German.

What a faggot.

Is there anything we can actually do about this?

...

...

Who the fuck used gnu social

Also provide sources for any of these.

Pleroma will make the Fediverse great again.

feel free to provide a proof any day of the week, kids. (protip: it is false)


pleroma has corrected the mastodon id bug.


ActivityPub is a standard, ostatus is just random protocol, same with diaspora protocol. GNU social eventually said they will adopt ActivityPub (just like every fucking Ostatus implementation).

Plain lie you see on imageboard those days, god.

whats the problem ? they're extending libre software usage to new people ?

Stop with your shitty politics, please.

...

hello eugen. go kill yourself

How does it feel that Japanese otaku have completely dominated you with your own software? Can't wait for Pixiv to hard fork away and keep compatibility with GNU+Social for complete global saturation of anime niggas in the Fediverse, cucking your source code in the process.

Come to think of it, I think they already independently maintain their fork. Eugen status = fully cucked.


Making fun of nu-males is not political, especially when they're ruining free software.

Stop with your shitty grammar, please.

Gays, feminists, and other assorted cucks ruin anything they touch. They should not "feel welcome", they have a mental disease and not a reason for pride.

I'm fine working with them as long as they stay in their fucking closet. I don't go around telling people my fetishes and forcing them to recognize my pride.

Jesus Fucking Christ that's disgusting. And I thought Matrix's format was bad.

ebin

Kill yourself my man

Pleroma never had that bug in the first place, because the back end's been written to use ActivityPub internally from day one. Lambda actually knows what he's doing while Gargron's just goes with the flow.

Gargamello did eventually try to fix the bug in Mastodon, but only after 12 hours of constant drama.

"but he is datamining, I swear ;_;"

Still not even the beginning of any proof.

Oh, no...

Here you go you humongous faggot
mastodont.social/terms
Now Eugene please take your steaming pile of ruby on rails garbage the sojuc community with you and KYS.

Stay on twitter, you cuck

I dont know how meta data works or how much he could see, but other then that, there's not really anything he could mine that anyone else couldnt, I signed up with a fake email and the fourms are public

No, gays need to be gassed for the great good of humanity.
Look at this shit.

I could do the same thing for 100s of fetishes for both gay and straight people.

exactly.

WEW

You have no idea of what you are talking about.
Read and educated yourself you ignoramus.
media.ccc.de/v/33c3-8414-corporate_surveillance_digital_tracking_big_data_privacy

I very well know the laws of each country.
France has one of the worst laws in that matter, so yes IPs have to be logged and it's not two or one years it's indefinitely with the new laws (for ISPs).
Mandatory sharing with the government aren't third parties.
If they wanted to do this correctly they'll have to put that they have to comply with the laws in their term of use.
And they do

You have to be a pretty dense motherfucker to not understand these simple sentences:
Non-personal identifiable information doesn't technically exist, it's only the outdated laws that have this shit definition.
Metadata makes you identifiable.

You mean when they are in control of the server ?
If so then true but when you datamine you have to legally declare it (when you are not in a third world country).

The only way to not be recognize in datamining is to have very good human opsec.
You can hide behind Tor or a fake email but if you do mistakes like talking about your experiences your life or do orthographic errors express yourself in a particular way all your technical opsec is useless.

Does anyone know if Pixiv will keep OStatus support? I want to make a GNU Social account to follow some nips but if they break compatibility I'll have to sign up with their Mastodon instead.
