We're now in Trakt migration 2.0.

The move by Trakt that triggered Trakt Migrtation 1.0 was understandable, they have to make money.

But in this latest move, messing with grandfathered accounts, no, not understandable.

You just don't mess with grandfathered accounts ever in any service. That's your way of saying, "Thank you for always being with us since the beginning".

My mobile network plan is a grandfathered account, and the network have been trying to get us to "upgrade" to a "better" plan. Ad that's to mention one such.

Even in gaming, grandfathered accounts are not touched ever. If they cancel, that's the only time things change. Why? Simple, the current contract/subscription ended. So, the next time the user subscribe, it will be under the current scheme.

In addition, owners of grandfathered accounts will do everything to keep it. They'll borrow money if it comes to that. You have grandfathered accounts that are paying you but the owners are rarely using it. Compare that to the owners cancelling their grandfathered accounts because it no longer has any value for them.

Just like right now. Many are cancelling because.

Time to move to #NeoDB or #SIMKL

Pick NeoDB if you want to be in the #Fediverse. Or, pick SIMKL if you want free "Pro" just by logging-in at least 20 days.

Both NeoDB and SIMKL combines various databases into one easy to use interface.

Fediverse Report #116 - This week's #fediverse news:

- @fediforum will be June 5-7 with a new advisory board
- updates from @bonfire on their upcoming platform

This is Postmodern, my concept for a #Fediverse platform. This mockup is a builder interface for making your own UI, timelines, and pages visually. It’s a weird and ambitious concept, but this is what I’ve been dreaming about for years.

Blog post dropping this week.

Anyway, it's up now and it's got trinkets, trains, puppets and bums/butts (depending on your locale), made from well over 150 scanned in sheets of paper. 🖨️

I just set up an easy to remember link for my #NeoDB shelf/catalogue/library account:

https://loomenji.youronly.one ( @youronlyone )

😁

It's in addition to the following:

* fediverse.youronly.one - @youronlyone
* atmosphere.youronly.one - @youronly.one
* gallery.youronly.one - @youronlyone@pixelfed.social
* wiki.youronly.one - youronlyone.tiddlyhost.com
* threads.youronly.one - @youronly.one.ofcl

If you have a personal domain name, use it for redirection (301 or 302). Easy to remember.

Another advantage, if you ever decide to move instances or change your accounts, you don't have to reprint business cards and update links everywhere, just change your redirect target setting. (It won't move your content of course.)

And if you're bridging to the #ATmosphere network, you can use your own domain as your handle for your #Fediverse network accounts (if supported by your bridging platform)!

Make use of your domain name! Redirect!

The long weekend is over. Long weekends may be long, but they all look so short...

Good night, #Fediverse!

I said I would publish this week, I guess it happened earlier than expected. This is a high-level overview of Postmodern, the #Fediverse platform I hope to someday build. It is the culmination of years of study as the network has continued to evolve.

https://deadsuperhero.com/my-dream-fediverse-platform/

I've been thinking about client-server interactions in the #fediverse. #ActivityPub #C2S isn't widely used, and most clients rely on Mastodon-compatible APIs instead.

What if we created a new standardized API based on GraphQL + Relay for client-server communication, while keeping ActivityPub for server-to-server federation?

The Mastodon-compatible API lacks formal schema definitions for code generation and type checking, which hurts developer productivity. And ActivityPub C2S is honestly too cumbersome to use directly from client apps.

#GraphQL would give us type safety, efficient data fetching (only get what you need), and the ability to evolve the API without breaking clients. #Relay's features for pagination, caching, and optimistic updates seem perfect for social apps.

Would this be valuable to our community? What challenges do you see? How might we handle backward compatibility? And should this be formalized as an FEP?

Curious what others think about this approach.

Today, we're beginning to federate publisher accounts in Italy, France and Spain, and expanding in Brazil and Germany.

You can now follow even more of your favorite news, lifestyle, tech and sports sources from Flipboard on the open social web. Read more about it here. See the spreadsheet at the second link for the full list of federated profiles.

Hold up, hold up. @owncast has had a mascot all this time, and it's a cat?!

As #Fedify's author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's #ActivityPub implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?

While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.

Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.

Still, I see potential as the #fediverse grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.

I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?

Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.

Hello #Fediverse! Let's see if the mentions work as expected by acknowledging some people that helped me get online:

New: Taking Control of Your Timeline - in Different Ways

#Fediverse platforms as well as #Bluesky offer to give the user control of their timeline - in contrast with the control that Big Tech Platforms have with their algorithmic timelines.

But the approach is surprisingly different: fediverse platforms like Mastodon give you control over *how* you see the content you follow, whereas Bluesky gives you control over *what* content you see
