Some nice chats on the @pinetta matrix chat lately. Although my dev work is still hamstrung by technical difficulties, it's good to see enthusiasm and a feeling of community continuing to build. Sort of like a little bit of confirmation that the idea's a good one worthy of being pursued.

Bump.

Pinetta Jun 26, 2023

There's been plenty of buzz lately surrounding #Meta connecting to the #Fediverse through #ActivityPub. As a #FOSS project that hasn't yet shipped software that federates, we don't have too much to say yet. However, it's worth saying a few things about how #Pinetta will federate, in general.

Briefly, Pinetta is a creative tool with social characteristics. Server admins will be able to operate in both "allow mode" and "deny mode"; they can choose to federate with everyone, a select few, or even no one. This means, for example, that you'll be able to use Pinetta as a fully functional Fediverse server open to large communities, or as a private server—for instance, in the context of a school where students might produce and share work with only the school's community of learners, staff, and selected guests. Even if you choose to federate with other servers, users will have fine-grained control over the reach and visibility of their posts, similar to the way #Hometown and #Calckey users do. Essentially, we're aiming to make community safety as configurable as possible to meet the widest possible set of needs—including those of the most vulnerable people and communities.

As a project, we don't plan on hosting a central instance for very large numbers of users to use; for the time being, our goal is to gradually refine the software to allow it to respond to the needs of communities, and to foster the development of united, diverse and healthy communities based on respect and trust. Our aspiration is to serve humanity, whether it's by making a nice app or by creating human connections that allow good people to do good things together. We will amplify the voices of those who share these values and aspirations, and will work actively with collaborators everywhere to prevent harm.

Avatars! #Pinetta

Still just a single-user app for the time being—and that's on purpose so that we can get federation and community safety right—but the basics are slowly coming together.

Totally not vaporware. #WebDev cc @pinetta

If anyone knows anything about emojis, unicode, or scala, I'd love some help bringing Twemoji to Unicode 15! https://github.com/jdecked/twemoji/pull/43

One of our aims with #Pinetta is to build communities. To help us develop our #CommunityBuilding framework, our team is having regular conversations about some of the principles that make this possible.

Here's one example of the questions we're chewing on.

"To every generation... comes an opportunity to make a contribution to the fortunes of humanity, unique to their time of life."

What does it mean to *you* to make a contribution to the fortunes of humanity?

And to make this abundantly clear… regardless of how much you disagree with a person and how much you feel their decisions might be wrong:
👉 harassment is harassment, and is unacceptable
👉 calling for harm is calling for harm, and is unacceptable
👉 pile-ons are pile-ons, and are unacceptable

People who engage in that sort of thing are like locusts. They join a community, destroy it, and move on.

If you care about fedi, push back against that, even if it targets someone you disagree with.
