@jupiter_rowland @valorzardI mean, @silverpill had to implement nomadic identity on Mitra client-side. That wouldn't be possible on MastodonI think they can do the same thing I did - rebuild server as a client. It would be a pain to package though, given that Mastodon is written in Ruby.

@mczachurski @pfefferle Merged!
Consider adding type: implementation to the metadata section. Our website displays implementation counts for implementation proposals: https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/draft/

@valorzard As far as I know, they are not interested.
However, @jonny wants to implement FEP-1580: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12423#issuecomment-4247163209
FEP-1580 doesn't introduce decentralized identities, but it enables data migrations and is easier to implement. It might pave the way for FEP-ef61 in the future.

@mczachurski @pfefferle FEP-ee3a was approved. It is now stored in the FEP repository with the DRAFT status, you can update it with another PR if you want.
At some point it should be finalized, but usually this happens after an author incorporates feedback from a discussion thread and convinces at least one other developer to implement the proposal.

Hmm. I see Aug 8, 2023 7:40 PM.
Indeed, it was not made after the withdrawal of the PR (I confused it with another thread). This one was made right after my first comments on the PR.

"Safety blanket" in https://web.archive.org/web/20260414114106/https://soatok.blog/2026/04/13/hybrid-constructions-the-post-quantum-safety-blanket/ and https://web.archive.org/web/20260418021002/https://symbolic.software/blog/2026-04-13-hybrid-constructions/ tells typical readers: using ECC+PQ, not just PQ, is for familiarity, not security. Huh? Millions of sessions used CECPQ2b=ECC+SIKE. ECC is the _only_ reason those weren't instantly exposed to the SIKE break.

@phnt @p Curiously, Gleason was supportive of the proposal, although at the time he already moved to Nostr (IIRC).
Also, some strange things started to happen in the aftermath of closing that PR. I started seeing vague posts expressing moderation concerns on Codeberg and SocialHub (in this thread, for example: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/scope-of-the-socialhub-policy/3506). People suddenly started talking about adding a CoC, etc etc. But every time I asked what this is about, there was silence.

@p This is a good analysis, and I can confirm that there is indeed some coordination between the organizations and people you mentioned. I wouldn't call it a conspiracy, though. I know some of them well enough to conclude that it is a not a single organization, but a loose group. Some of them seem to be fake, but others seem to be sincere in their convictions.
I'd like to share a couple of additional links you may find interesting:
- https://about.iftas.org/yoel/
Remember this guy? Given the timing, I suspect that some of these projects were supposed to be sinecures for former Twitter employees.
- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/140
This is a draft of a FEP about mandatory CSAM scanning. As one of the FEP repo maintainers, I immediately raised concerns about privacy, centralization, etc. That made me persona non grata at W3C.

We will send an Update activity to all known serversI am not sure if this is a good idea.
If you decide to deliver to all known servers, please handle 410 Gone correctly.

An interesting development happens in funfedidev/schemas project. It's a JSON schema validator for Fediverse:
https://schemas.funfedi.dev/activity-pub-question/
In this example it loads the JSON schema from FEP-9967: Polls, which you can use to validate your Question object.

@mkljczk That's reasonable, I also plan to implement basic comment moderation in Mitra. It will probably be a mix of interaction policies and conversation containers.

@caohuak @frost This is a non-standard activity type, so Iceshrimp needs a type hint. It can be added if necessary.
What is expected to happen when a Bite is received? Does Mitra need to show a notification?

@mkljczk Did you implement the whole flow, or the minimal one required to make posts quotable?
Reply to @caohuak@moon.lonewolf.zone
silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-04-18 01:03:07)
@caohuak Mastodon's "consent-respecting" quoting. I added partial support for it in the last Mitra release, so now it shows "Post pending" instead of no quote at all.
Is it better / worse?

@strypey @benpate @takahe Correct, FEPs could be about anything related to Fediverse.
And personally, I would be happy to see a FEP about multi-domain setups.

@gary ActivityPub data can be portable too, even distributed across multiple instances:
https://codeberg.org/ap-next/ap-next/src/branch/main/nomadpub.md
But popular Fediverse platforms don't support this feature.

@benpate You mean they are sent in an encrypted envelope? In that case I would use EmojiReact, the canonical variant. Like with content is a hack for compatibility with Mastodon, but if activities are encrypted it shouldn't be necessary.
