Gregory's Server
|
So I'm working on the ability to support custom domains as usernames in Loops. You would bring your own domain, point it towards the loops server with a TXT verification record, and it would handle it accordingly. If you decide to migrate away, an easy process would migrate everything. While preserving your existing content permalinks! Spooky action at a distance, or quantum federation (a prettier term for universal identities)

   @dansup why do we need a 3rd form of identity? and if we're going that far, then why TXT and not SRV? and what does the value look like, and how does this play along with other services, etc etc etc I try to scroll through photos shared on the Fediverse a few times a day (obviously, not all of them). It’s amazing to see the incredible work photographers are creating - not just the pros, but everyone. So many of these shots are true masterpieces. Browsing through them is a relaxing experience and makes me incredibly proud of all of you. It’s awesome that you share your work instead of letting it sit hidden away. Your photos have the power to inspire someone out there! https://vernissage.photos/editors   @dansup Can you list software before instances? Since now Mbin will strangely not be the first result.. That doesn't makes sense to me.  People I’d like to thank this year for helping build the #fediverse @dansup probably the hardest working person in the fediverse @pixelfed and @loops creator @rolle for his wonderful theme for mastodon I love it ❤️ The teams behind @Castopod @Mastodon @andypiper great guy lots of great content on devRel - personally learn a lot for him for my job And a special call out for @geerlingguy not directly Fediverse specific but one of the best content creators on here and always responds to ppl @laurenshof - for the fediverse report @stefan - for all your amazing services @jaz - for IFTAS and everything else @renchap - for keeping Mastodon running with the crazy scale @ConnyDuck - for building Tusky @evan - for creating ActivityPub, and Laconica which kick started this whole era.

IMO You are the person of the year Evan, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you ❤️ Planning on releasing the loops backend server next week, it won’t be recommended for production, but like that will stop you right? Haha, love the enthusiasm and can’t wait for loops to be more widely available in terms of servers and clients! I’ve learned a lot from Pixelfed and look forward to a more easier overall experience for users and admins 😎 Im in such a better and happier place now, and focused on bringing Pixelfed and Loops to the App Store. And getting in cahoots with a few other projects to make Loops the best it could be, leveraging content from other, more established platforms like PeerTube, Vidzy, Funkwhale, Bandwagon and others, while giving back with our open sound library and content APIs. Those butterfly’s we get as developers when collaborating are such an addictive vibe, I’m hooked! Just merged a few search + postgres bug fixes to @pixelfed Now preparing the final TestFlight build before we ship the v1 to the App Store! As much fun as I'm having with Loops, I don't forget that @pixelfed is my main priority And while it may make look like I'm making no progress with Pixelfed, I've been working on a whole redesign and webUI that will be shipping early next year Everything is building towards 2025 and that magical moment when we hit v1, I can't wait fam 🚀 Had a really productive chat with @benpate who is building https://bandwagon.fm regarding collaborating with Loops. Wouldn't it be awesome for musicians on Bandwagon to easily share their music to the Loops Sound Library so that Loops users can use it in their videos, while giving attribution to the artist? Shoutout to @radiofreefedi for making the introduction, I'm eager to work with other fedi developers, and highlight the magic of the fediverse! Stay tuned 😎  @dansup @benpate @radiofreefedi @catsalad  @dansup Don’t forget about @funkwhale, #funkwhale seems to have music and audio options as well!  When you really believe in the concept of the fediverse, and see how amazing it is to see "competitors" work together, you know you're a part of something special. @mczachurski I am so truly sorry, and you accepting my apology means so much to me. I feel so terrible for the way I treated you, its' so unbecoming for everything I've done and stand for, and to attack one of the most dedicated people, you never deserved that. I will make sure that never happens again, and take this opportunity to improve Pixelfed and collaborate with you to make our platforms even better! You've shown a lot of grace and maturity during this, and I could learn from that ❤️  @dansup @mczachurski As someone who knows both platforms, let me say: You both rock and I like what you give AND sacrifice to the community and users like me. Sometimes there are discussions though but, afterall, you give people a way to choose the perfect showcase for their photos free from the data-sucking and tracking well-known companies. Keep it up and all the best to you guys for 2025! 🙏🏻 🎄 Please keep in mind that everything in Vernissage is created in my free time after work (and after my own photography walks) and funded entirely out of my own pocket. So, if you enjoy the app even a little, use it, and would like to help, consider buying me a proverbial coffee once a month. If you have technical skills, you’re always welcome to contribute to the app’s development (the code is on GitHub). Thanks in advance 💕! https://www.patreon.com/Vernissage   @dansup I won’t deny that being called a weirdo and accused of doing nothing for Pixelfed was deeply hurtful. I’ve invested a great deal into Impressia, dedicating many months of my life to it. The decision to make Vernissage a standalone platform is something I explained and apologized for many months ago in private messages. I accept your apology and consider the matter resolved. I also wish you a wonderful holiday season and satisfaction in your work on projects in the coming year 🎄✨. @mczachurski I am so truly sorry, and you accepting my apology means so much to me. I feel so terrible for the way I treated you, its' so unbecoming for everything I've done and stand for, and to attack one of the most dedicated people, you never deserved that. I will make sure that never happens again, and take this opportunity to improve Pixelfed and collaborate with you to make our platforms even better! You've shown a lot of grace and maturity during this, and I could learn from that ❤️ Leadership in open source isn't just about technical decisions, it's also about human connections. After a recent incident, I took a step back to reflect on my actions and their impact on our community. Good leaders must be willing to acknowledge mistakes, learn from them, and grow. I'm committed to doing better, and want to thank the community for helping me grow. |
@pixelfed @dansup So, essentially like Bluesky handles? That's so cool! 😎
