  • There was a good talk about this at FOSDEM at the weekend!

  • Mastodon announces new European non-profit, change of CEO

  • If the user didn't make their posts as discoverable, then no, they will not be returned in a search. The search is opt-in. It is not ideal, but it is a way to respect user privacy. I was making the point that search exists now, even if it had previously been rejected as a feature to implement, so it is not impossible for folks to change their opinions on including features.

  • I do not think that is a factual representation of the team dynamics, but of course, you are free to choose that interpretation.

  • I don't know, I was not involved if that was said at some time, but now, we have search, so I don't know what to tell you.

  • won’t implement it.

    "not sure downvotes make sense" -> it might not be a good fit for what the app is -> so maybe it would not make sense to implement.

    I should be able to search for a keyword or URL on all instances

    We're working on this. It's part of Fediscovery. Optional opt-in discovery across instances, if a user wants their content to be discoverable across instances.

  • Search exists. I'm not sure downvotes make sense in the context of a microblogging app, but YMMV. There's a lot of things to work on, for sure.

  • The 501(c(3) is a fundraising entity, and will continue to exist. There will be a new independent European non-profit that will "own" (for the want of a better word) the other entities. Legal structures and things are not my forte (IANAL), that's my understanding of what is happening in so far as I'm involved in the discussions and what I'm able to tell you.

  • there's a big difference between running a service on volunteers, and having full-time folks to keep things running / answer the regulation discussions / keep maintaining / keep adding the features that folks are looking for. This is not primarily an infrastructure spend. There's also an amount of legal work involved, unfortunately. So, those are some of the elements we're looking at.

  • These are part of the assets that will be transferred from the GmbH to the non-profit.

  • Open source projects are too dogmatic for their own good

  • I wrote about this on my blog. I like the notion and points made here, but I also think we're not helping by re-inventing things that already exist, so I'm torn on it. I have been happy with the existing one.

  • GoToSocial is a new ActivityPub social network server for the Fediverse

  • "new" == ~3 years old (but looking to move from alpha to beta in 2024 IIRC). It's a good server!

  • Mastodon forms new U.S. non-profit

  • That's not what the story is here - this is an additional fund raising entity to support the independence of the platform. The post is very clear that Mastodon (the project) remains a European organisation

    However, it’s also important for us that Mastodon is one of the few, if not the only social media platform that operates out of the EU, and we would like to keep it that way.
