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   @dansup Can you list software before instances? Since now Mbin will strangely not be the first result.. That doesn't makes sense to me.   @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 ❤️  @dansup @laurenshof @stefan @jaz @renchap @ConnyDuck @evan Add @cwebber and I think you have everyone that is supposed to be on this list ☺️  Honestly, if there was an award for Fediverse Person of the Year, I would have many people to nominate. @hongminhee - Fedify & Hollo Dev @cheeaun - Phanpy dev @thisismissem - IFTAS advisor and safety focused dev who helped many fedi projects @FediThing - FediTips manager and ideal fediverse onboarding concierge @_elena - The Future is Federated author and fediverse activist who is my favourite fedi influencer @andypiper - Mastodon DevRel & community wizard @deadsuperhero - blogger & more @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 ❤️ 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 🚀 @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! 🙏🏻 🎄 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. 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!  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. 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  I haven’t been this excited for the fediverse in a while, making great progress on Loops and have something in store for Pixelfed this week ✨   @dansup thank you for your work! What do you think is the most exciting Fediverse software in the microblogging/blogging space? In other Loops related news, I'm in talks with the @vidzy developer to work on a unified client API so that all these wonderful 3rd party Loops clients can work with Loops and Vidzy (and other platforms) I'm talking app level apis, not federation, meaning you will be able to use the official Loops app with Vidzy and vice versa This is so exciting 😁 I want to apologize for my disrespectful comments about @vernissage My reaction to the transition from Pixelfed was emotional and unprofessional. While I felt hurt by how the changes were handled, expressing that through negative comments was wrong and immature. This behavior doesn't reflect my values or the constructive dialogue I want to promote in our community. I take full responsibility for my actions and will strive to engage more respectfully in the future.

 @dansup @vernissage you just wore your heart on your sleeve: nothing immature about that. maybe disrespectful, yes, but I see all but immaturity here :love:  @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 🎄✨.  @dansup @vernissage don’t be too hard on yourself. We all do it and it takes a very big person to admit we might have been wrong and reflect on how to grow. Another interesting Pixelfed R&D program is our vision reality or VR which is building filters for the Pixelfed and Loops cameras, applying Snapchat like filters in real time, using face tracking and everything It's really cool, and I'm working out a plan to share these in ActivityPub so you can have a library of AR filters. There are so many aspects of a platform like Loops and Pixelfed like this you may not be aware of, so it may look like I'm not working, but I really am, on stuff like this

 I can't understand the appeal of distorted mirror effects or stamping with metallic hearts. Those are for the very young users you expect to join a TikTok alternative? Some more subtle effects might be of wider interest? Historical fashions, wood or stone textures to skin, eyewear?

 @dansup Sounds like I may have some good news to add to https://correct.webfinger-canary.fietkau.software/#implementation-status whenever Loops opens federation. 🙂 Happy days for @canary.

 @dansup @pixelfed I'm hoping for some fast timeline navigation...? 🙏 https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/5180   I hope the Pixelfed community doesn't feel abandoned because I'm working on Loops. I've never taken a vacation since I started coding @pixelfed in April 2018, and this Loops stuff isn't really a vacation, but don't worry! My focus remains Pixelfed, I'm just taking advantage of the upcoming TikTok ban for the fediverses sake. I hope my pixelfam will forgive me 🥹
