@uriel Oh hello there, I have a question about Aktor. Could you provide a short description of the project? In one sentence - it's for @weekinfediverse newsletter.

usually I don't do short. so. I put a short and details. Up to you how to package the newsletter.

In short: as a sysadmin, what I always missed from GtS and every instance software. I just fork GtS and added the feature I was missing.

Like.


1. IPFS. Stop using S3, amazon will track the server, and everyone reading the pictures. IPFS provides decentralized CDN. Opensource. Free.

2. lua filters for messages. Instead of implementing interaction rules and so and so, I just put a system which allows the sysadmin to write filters in lua. You can have any policy you want

3. GUI. Yes, actually I don't like a fat GUI, but something like tumblr may be at hand.

4. RSS. Now the sysadmin can set a RSS to be published as any profile. So you can integrate the fediverse with rss sources, with no robots.

5. Groups. The admin is able to change a user to type "group". From this moment on, it will behave like the gup.pe groups.

6. Stop to "subscriptions open" or "subscription closed". I just put a parameter with max users , when there is space, people can join, if there are no more users available, it is closed. Better for capacity control.If you want a personal instance, just put max users to 1.

7. Inactive users cleaning jobs.Default set, 30 days, if the user goes inactive for 30 days, it is removed. So a new slot is free.

Those were the features which I missed more, so I did a fork and I added them.

You can check it there.

@uriel Yes, I saw the readme, but I need one sentence. Maybe "Fork of the GoToSocial project with IPFS integration"?
