First #Florence release, the community Mastodon fork (which aims notably to solve its governance issues). So it's an initial release which is not meant to bring a lot of big changes.
https://github.com/florence-social/mastodon-fork/releases/tag/v0.0.1.0
And it's already very pleasant to see the changelog:
- toot length configurable by te admin (without any code hack as in Mastodon)
- same for the bio
- **we can choose to display DMs on the main TL**

I can't wait to see the next steps ! 🤩

Everytime I see a conference at the other side of the world, half of me thinks "damn, I want to go", while the other half of me thinks "damn, how many people from that continent could go with the same money"

Further mapping out the current mastodon universe around #opensource digital art software

Tomorrow 7.06 in #Rotterdam, join #Varia for the next edition of #relearn. Participants will engage, in various ways, with digital network practices. I'm happy to facilitate the discussion "networks are people too"!

A year ago I tried learning ActivityPub, and more or less failed. I was confounded by a spec that was so abstract I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Turns out I was missing some key things.

I have written a guide to learning about ActivityPub that I wish existed a year ago when I first set out to learn how to write social media servers that conform to the spec:

Inspired by a presentation by @aiscarvalho and @rlafuente, we ask you: supposing these 3 terms describe the same thing, which one would you prefer? #lgm19
