@pixelfed How does this work on the #ActivityPub level? AFAIK, it can't prevent anyone from posting a comment. Will it simply hide them instead?
Labeler - a self hostable, MRF inspired labeler service for ActivityPub
Create, or subscribe to 3rd party labeler servers you or your friends manage, and take advantage of a rich filter schema to define rules and actions to apply to incoming activities.
Loops will be the first service to support this new Pixelfed labs project ✨
Es fehlt eine gute Alternative zu #Facebook im #Fediverse. In meinem Umfeld wird Facebook vor allem über Gruppen zu verschiedenen Themen genutzt, quasi als Forenplattform. Ich liebe #Mastodon, aber es ist im Nutzungsschema keine Alternative zu Facebook für viele. #Friendica kann das auch nur rudimentär, soweit ich das sehe und #Diaspora spricht kein #ActivityPub. Habt ihr eine Idee, wohin man die Leute empfehlen sollte?
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.68 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27332
GitHub Continuous Integration checks are running (two out of three completed successfully, which is a good sign, here's hoping the last one has no issues as well).
As usual, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

Is there any internal method for preventing a snac2 server from federating? I don't mean blocking. I mean prohibiting all federation and contact with other activitypub instances. The goal is the local users don't see anything from the fediverse and the fediverse won't see anything from the local server.
I realize there are brute ways to hack nginx and IPtables to block ports and things like that. I'm just wondering if there is an internal method that is more sensible, or if perhaps some blocks of code could be removed before compilation.
Fixed regression in link verification code (contributed by nowster).
Added ipv6 support for the https frontend connection (contributed by hb9hnt).
New "Like by URL" operation (contributed by dheadshot).
Added support for a Mastodon-like /share link sharing URL, like the one provided by sites like https://mastodonshare.com/ and such. To be able to use it, you must reconfigure your https proxy to redirect /share to snac (see snac(8)).
New linux landlock (sandboxing) support for enhanced security (contributed by shtrophic). It's still a bit experimental, so you have to enable it explicitly by recompiling with the WITH_LINUX_SANDBOX directive (e.g. make CFLAGS=-DWITH_LINUX_SANDBOX).
Some search fixes regarding repeated matches.
The export_csv cmdline operation now exports the CSV files inside a user's export/ subdirectory instead of the current directory.
All CSV files to be imported must now be stored inside a user's import/ subdirectory instead of the current directory.
Mastodon API: more timeline paging tunings (contributed by nowster), post language selected in apps is properly set.
The command-line operation note new reads the LANG environment variable to set the post's language.
A new command-line operation, note_unlisted, allows posting "unlisted" or "quiet public" posts.
The maximum number of entries in users' RSS feeds and in outboxes can now be set via the max_public_entries variable in the server.json file.
Fixed broken support for Audio objects.
Made xmpp and mailto URLs clickable.

Post from Misskey developer:
Mastodon might be happier if it only confederates with Mastodon, and Misskey confederates only with Misskey. Troubles due to functional differences are commonplace, and
implementations that change behavior or limit functions depending on the confederate partner are necessary. However, it is quite costly (in the first place, there are limited ways to know in advance how the coalition partner will implement it).
"FediMeteo brings real-time weather updates to the Fediverse, covering cities across Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (with more regions coming soon!).
Using the power of #ActivityPub and the simplicity of #snac, FediMeteo posts accurate forecasts and updates directly to your favorite social platform. "
I've heard back from 4 different fediverse platforms that are interested in collaborating with Loops, and still waiting on a few others!
I'm organizing a client API spec for Loops with @vidzy so we can leverage our vibrant ecosystem to allow users to pick the best client and backend, regardless of project ✨
Pretty amazing what's possible with #activityPub and collaboration, eh 🚀
My new laravel-activitypub library is really coming along, and I will be using it for Loops and eventually Pixelfed.
It leverages a lot of Laravel magic to handle many aspects of federation, you simply have to map a few models and attributes in the config file, and it will work with new and existing laravel projects!
Just imagine adding ActivityPub support to your app, while only writing less than 10 lines of code.
It's Magic ✨
1) composer require dansup/laravel-activitypub
2) edit config/activitypub.php
3) your laravel app now has ActivityPub support, and all you did was map some activities to your existing data ;)
Available soon. https://github.com/dansup/laravel-activitypub

Two of three GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks passed, which is a good sign; hopefully the others will pass without issues.
As usual, it's up to others with commit access to merge it!
Thanks again for your and others' continued improvements to snac! Specifically I noticed shout outs to nowster and Shamar in the RELEASE_NOTES.md and I seem to recall watching the discourse about the PID locking suggested and discussed rather collaboratively too!
(My apologies for the delay. The Makefile was slightly modified, which in turn broke the $files/Makefile.patch applied by MacPorts so I needed to rework that which took me a bit longer than usual given other work obligations I have had today.
Though not a concern for upstream, for MacPorts users I also noticed the following warning when running % port test:
"Warning: violation by /opt/local/man
Warning: snac violates the layout of the ports-filesystems!
Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it will be an error in future releases!"
Though, it appears as if the man pages are where I think they should be for MacPorts? I have never seen that Warning before, so my guess is something about MacPorts intended prescriptive behavior has been changed but I am not exactly certain what the expected behavior is supposed to be now? I will look into it further, but hopefully it isn't a concern for users at the moment; just thought I would mention it for the sake of being thorough!
However, it's entirely possible I messed something up too; so if others with greater wisdom than I see that Warning and know what to do to correct it, or if they encounter any other issues with MacPorts' snac, others are more than welcome to submit Pull Requests with improvements! Or feel free to open up an issue on MacPorts Trac instance at https://trac.macports.org and I'll look into it.)

The search box also accepts post URLs; the post is requested and, if it's found, can be interacted with (liked, boosted, replied to, etc.).
IP addresses for failed logins are tracked and throttled to mitigate brute force attacks (see snac(8) for more information).
Fixed a bug regarding repeated attachments when editing a post.
Mastodon API: Improved timeline pagination in some clients (details: an HTTP Link header has been added), fixed missing audio attachments, fixed an incorrect value for the bot field in newly created accounts, fixed a crash, implemented markers (contributed by nowster).
When running in server mode, the pidfile is locked to avoid concurrent running of the same server instance.
Added documentation and some tweaks to enable static compilation with musl (contributed by Shamar).

Don't get me wrong, I love Mastodon and everything it's done for the fediverse
That being said, I don't want Loops to become the only short form video platform, or the only well known one
I'm working with @stux on his own short vid platform called #GoldFish and PeerTube to enable seamless interop
We're stronger and better together
There is no reason NOT to work with "competitors" because when you have the right mindset and goals:
You build for the people, and listen wisely.

"Loops" Project
I reached out to @snowcatridge10 and Vidzy regarding establishing a shared API schema with Loops
Imagine Vidzy users being able to use the Loops app on Vidzy backend/server.
Wouldn't that be dope?
Just another #activityPub only aspect, where people are the priority and profits aren't in our lexicon.

Hey @cwebber, love everything you're doing and wonder if it's possible to collaborate and showcase the amazing power of Spritely when integrated into a platform like Loops.
https://community.spritely.institute/t/pixelfed-loops/623
Pixelfed and Loops are standing on the shoulders of giants like you, and we'd love nothing more than to help evolve the fediverse together with you ❤️
Big Tech gatekeepers want you to think bootstrapping a video platform is impossible.
Reality check: With edge computing & client-side transcoding, any dev can build a TikTok alternative at a fraction of the cost.
Don't let Web2 giants gatekeep creator innovation and monetization.
Time to disrupt short-form video. Join the open creator revolution 🚀
"The (Loops) app looks very smooth!
But…
What is your biz model?"
Loops is not constrained by VC or for-profit biz models, it aims to be an open source and federated short video platform.
I may make a Loops server with creator monetization, but that's separate from the official project
This is what makes #activityPub and the fediverse so magical
People are in disbelief that I would work so hard for free!
When you really believe in something, you make it happen, and good things will follow 🚀
Btw, Loops isn't the only short video fediverse platform!
You should checkout https://vidzy.codeberg.page, another exciting project that has a lot of potential.
The magic of the fediverse is choice, so why not embrace it?
https://loops.video will federate before Christmas, starting with the first 100 users next week ✨

As many users have asked for it, there is now an option to make the number of followed and following accounts public (still disabled by default). These are only the numbers; the lists themselves are never published.
Some fixes to blocked instances code (posts from them were sometimes shown).
Fixed non-appearing buttons Approve and Discard if the account requesting a follow were being followed.

Is it somewhat concerning that the current Twitter owner also owns a Rocket company and can monopolize interplanetary communications?
ActivityPub needs cross planet support long term, and satellites so we don't need to rely on adversarial competitors
How can a single person manage so many users without moderation issues?
You make history with new platforms and privacy features like Comment Controls.
You develop an industry standard for spam detection, that remains unchallenged in other open fedi projects.
You limit onboarding/growth to focus on improving safety/privacy.
You encourage people to join alternatives.
But most of all: you listen.
We are building for you, never forget that ✨
I believe that Starter Kits need explicit Opt-In inclusion.
There are too many examples of well intentioned services like these that end up getting abused
I've reached out to a few other #activityPub projects, and Lemmy for example stated that Communities are their primary use case for this, so I will be adding support for Community Starter Kits eventually!
Notice, these aren't Pixelfed or Loops Starter Kits, something this impactful belongs to the whole fediverse!
Kits = Better, Safer, Open

GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks are currently running (two are queued. Hopefully those will go smoothly, but I know at least one of them in particular seems to take an awfully long time recently).
Thanks again to you and other snac contributors for continuing to improve what continues to be my favorite ActivityPub implementation!
Oh, also since this PR was merged: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26633 It appears as if snac is now building correctly on older versions of OS X that were throwing up errors in under "Port Health" from https://ports.macports.org/port/snac/details/ I do have older Mac systems, but wasn't testing on much older OS versions, so I kind of turned a blind eye to the errors that IIRC were showing up on OS X High Sierra back through Lion? Those seem to be working now too! (Though again, I haven't tested such systems personally and won't dig through my storage unit to exhume old hardware of mine to do so for the foreseeable short term future).

Added a new user option to disable automatic follow confirmations (follow requests must be manually approved from the people page).
The search box also searches for accounts (via webfinger).
New command-line action import_list, to import a Mastodon list in CSV format (so that Mastodon Follow Packs can be directly used).
New command-line action import_block_list, to import a Mastodon list of accounts to be blocked in CSV format.

The server can now act as a proxy for all image, audio or video media coming from other account's posts (both from the Web UI and the Mastodon API). This way, other servers will see media requests coming from the server IP, not the user's, improving privacy. This is controlled by setting the proxy_media boolean field to server.json to true.
The strict_public_timelines option introduced in the previous release now works correctly.
Fixed a crash when posting from the links browser.
Fixed some repeated images from Lemmy posts.
Fixed a crash when posting an image from the tooot mobile app.
Updated FreeBSD rc script: the server process is now managed by the daemon(8) utility (contributed by @stefano@bsd.cafe).
RSS feeds are now in 2.0 version instead of 0.91.

Fixed repeated images in posts from some implementations (those that include an image both as an attachment and as an <img> tag inside the post content).
Added a small HTML/CSS tweak to improve post previews from some implementations (contributed by nyanide).
Notifications for EmojiReact activities now show the emoji.
New command-line action insert, to insert a post by its URL in a user's timeline.
