unless someone is truly interested in working with me on this project (...) there's really no use in sharing it.
Yeah, but doesn't it go both ways? How can people find out if their vision is aligned with yours unless you show what you have?
I mean, I share the feeling of not wanting to make any big announcement when it's not usable, but at least putting out a link to the repo and some roadmap would help others to see if they would be interested in helping you.
Any particular reason to keep it private?
You don't need a "platform", you need a Fediverse indexer + search engine.
I don't use it for any production site, but it works really well for development, though. I can run multiple docker services on my local machine, add a cloudflared service for each of them and forget about port conflicts, etc. To do that without cloudflared, I'd have to setup a traefik proxy and mess with my home router.
It's Dan's whole M.O: he gets excited about some new project, goes on a rushed coding rampage, releases some alpha-quality code, then loses interest and starts the chase for the next shiny toy.
the project is unfinished
Understatement of the year. Dan has posted "loops next week" for more than an year already...
I am not sure I follow. How would a troll cause trouble to an instance by lurking on a site?
usually to prevent spam and other crazy shit
but a registration shouldn't be needed if you just want to browse and scroll.
It's not a Federated platform like LinkedIn, but I am working on CareerCupid , a "OkCupid for jobs" website where people can answer questions about their values and goals, and then find out people that are the most compatible to work with. The website does work with ActivityPub though, you can follow @[email protected] and you can see the new polls and job listings published on the website.
There is no such thing as a "vote" in ActivityPub/ActivityStreams. This idea of "up/down votes" is just an abstraction of a message saying "Actor A liked B", where B is an Post/Comment (and a post/comment itself just being an abstraction of ActivityStreams objects).
That is to say: there is no way to selectively hide the content a message. If you want federation to work and you want people outside your own server to see your posts, then the server needs to broadcast the messages to anyone listening.
Tools like lemvotes are just exposing this information. There is no point in trying to censor the tool, because this information is available publicly, and any motivated person will be able to track this information.
If you are concerned about what people think of your "likes" and "dislikes", then do not use a public social media service and only communicate with provably secure communication tools.
ok. Can I get an invite to the repo, then? :) I'm https://codeberg.org/raphael.
