Hello folks! We've just made a security bugfix release of #GoToSocial, v0.22.2 Shrubbiest Sloth! https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.22.2 We recommend everyone on v0.22.1 and lower who uses two-factor authentication (2FA) for their account to update to this release ASAP. We fixed a two-factor authentication (2FA) security bug whereby an attacker who already knows a victim's email address + password, ie., the first factor authentication, could bypass having to input a code from an authenticator app, ie., the second factor of authentication, and obtain an OAuth token for that account. This bug only affects 2FA, and again, only in cases where an attacker already knows their victim's email address + password. Update instructions are in the release notes: it's a nice easy update if you're already on v0.22.x; and if you're already on main snapshots, just update to latest commits and you're good. Thanks for reading <3

Replying to
@apps@toot.fedilab.app @pixelfed@mastodon.social I agree, I really like how #mitra and #gotosocial have openapi specs (best combination is that and a changelog that lists all the api changes with each release), and #neodb has a nice /developer page you can bring up on any instance, saves a ton of time

RE: https://techhub.social/@manlycoffee/117344978702165876 I decided to donate €527.04 to GoToSocial (€509.66 is going to GoToSocial, and €17.38 in processing fees), lump sum. #Fediverse #ActivityPub #GoToSocial
Quoting
Anyone working on a Fediverse server where all new code isn't written by AI? Do you have some Patreon, GitHub Sponsorship setup, Ko-Fi, Liberapay, or anything to accept donations? Happy to fork over $50 every month for the next year. #Fediverse #ActivityPub

I like Mastodon, I really do. But it has so, so many dependencies, and updating it on illumos or OpenBSD is getting really difficult, release after release. Some dependencies are primarily distributed as binaries, or only build on Linux and macOS. It's not Mastodon's fault, but it depends on them. That’s why, in my opinion, solutions like snac, GoToSocial, or littleFedi have a reason to exist: all of this is much, much easier... #Fediverse #snac #GoToSocial #littleFedi #OwnYourData #Mastodon

Hmm, giving some consideration to switching over to #GoToSocial, and installing it bare metal on my VPS. At the moment this #Mastodon server runs via #Yunohost and the biggest pain in the ass is waiting weeks for them (Yunohost) to update the installers after a major Mastodon upgrade. GTS appears to be a single binary, a database file and a YAML config file, running via one systemd service. That's a lot less complex than Mastodon, with its multiple processes and connections. Not to mention the resource usage. After 10 months of operation, the database on this Masto instance fluctuates between 17Gb and 25Gb. Most of which is account data. The same instance running under GTS as far as I can tell would be sitting at about 3gb at this point. Memory and CPU usage would see similar reductions, which would be beneficial come renewal time and potential massive cost increases... The main thing holding me back is the ability to use Quote Posts. I know it's coming in GTS, but there's no timescale AFAIK. I know I originally had GTS installed prior to switching to Mastodon, but in hindsight I maybe should've stuck with GTS. I mean, Masto's been fine, but perhaps going lower resource would be better longer-term. No rush to decide, as my vps is still 14 months from renewal, but definitely something to consider.

#Fedilab 3.43.3 has been published! It mostly brings fixes. The custom MarkDown support no longer breaks the instance formatting. It also fixes some mentions and links not opening inside the app. The lost position when coming back should be fixed for all timelines, including #GoToSocial. Release notes: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/releases/tag/3.43.3 PS: the attached apk file is the same as the one submitted to Google, you can download it here.

hello nerds, can you help #GoToSocial out with a monthly donation to our OpenCollective? https://opencollective.com/gotosocial we're trying to get together an income of a few thousand euros a month to supplement @dumpsterqueer@gts.superseriousbusiness.org and @kim@k.iim.gay's work on GoToSocial; currently we're on 1200ish per month, which is amazing, but we'd like to end up around 2400 / month, or ideally more! that will give us a lot more freedom to continue to work on the project full time without having to look in consternation at our bank accounts, and worry about grant money running dry if we get enough, we can even eventually look at welcoming another developer to the gotosocial treehouse to assist us in pulling bugs off the sloth, combing its hair etc if you work at a company that would be interested in sponsoring us by sending donations to our OpenCollective, in exchange for a mention / logo on our docs and website, we're very open to that, assuming the company aligns with our ethics (see our code of conduct to get an idea) to discuss that, you can send an email to admin@gotosocial.org and we'll talk! please boost and share, thank you so much for your help!

next #GoToSocial release (v0.23.0) will hopefully include: better full-text search that actually works: @kim@k.iim.gay has been working on this using an extension for our WASM-ified SQLitethe ability to not merely connect to existing relays but to host multiple relay actors yourself, on your own instance, which other people can push to and follow we're still deep in the code mines working on both of these things :)

Dear friends, Please gather around for a long post about #WSocial and how they are responding to critiques. I have noticed a trend: W Social leaders and staunch supporters are describing any critical posts about the company as "targeted disinformation." Its CEO said they will soon have a technical solution in place for this. Oh?!? 🔗: https://mu.social/profile/anna.wsocial.eu/post/3mtqufy6g4s2r I suppose the "targeted disinformation" claims are about recent posts by the likes of me and @pallenberg@mastodon.social about troubling hate speech that is allowed on W Social. Claims backed by hard evidence, in the form of screenshots and video captures. (I am increasingly doing screen recordings of problematic posts and interactions by W Social people because they have a tendency to delete evidence - like an infamous comment on a video by the Instutute for Remigration). ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Discrediting sources, renaming evidence as "disinformation" and creating a victim narrative has a long, storied history. ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ But I'm digressing. I speak up about W Social because: Mainstream media runs PR fluff about them; Horrid hate speech on the platform is completely unmoderated. W Social is currently showing the limits of free speech absolutism. Its CEO wrote: "We don’t need W to become another echo chamber." Reminds you of something? Atmosphere user @echna.bsky.social astutely remarked that "W Social is on an X speedrun, without ever having been like Twitter." 🔗: https://mu.social/profile/echna.bsky.social/post/3mtqlknzork2t Bluesky, #Blacksky, and #Northsky have mechanisms in place to report hate speech - and I am super thankful for that. As of today, I cannot report to W Social posts by their users that contain hate speech. The W Social moderation list's only purpose is to make a distinction between verified users and bots. Compare it with Blacksky's moderation list and be amazed (see screenshots). What's the big deal about the lack of content moderation on #WSocial? Well, I am haunted by some posts by their users. A repeat offender (routinely posting racist and xenophobic posts) recently commented "Awesome news" to a newspaper article about a Palestinian family drowning in Sussex. His profile is still up and he's followed by W Social's CEO and its co-founder Ingmar Renzhog (yes I have evidence of this, via a video capture - so even if they unfollow him or delete his account, well, I have proof of my claim). I agree with "Echna" that W Social is on an X speedrun, allowing racist, transphobic and xenophobic posts. Evidence: 🔗: https://mu.social/profile/elenarossini.com/post/3mth3hwhvzs26 Instead of addressing these critiques head-on - and moderating hate speech - the W Social co-founders are lamenting being subjected to a "targeted disinformation" campaign. Oh ok? IMHO free speech absolutism ultimately only coddles far right extremists and is a very dangerous thing. Would you call this disinformation? Special thanks to my #GoToSocial account for allowing this message all in one go, without having to break it up in a hundred-post thread. TL;DR: W Social is taking a dark turn real fast. #SocialMedia

There is a person I've been helping for a while who runs two instances, one #GoToSocial and one #snac. Yesterday, they suffered severe file system corruption on their device, and I lent them a hand with the recovery. For GoToSocial, they restored the DB from the previous backup and got it running again. For snac, although a few files were lost, no action was necessary... it just started back up and did what it had to do, bringing the instance back to full operation. This goes to show that when software is well-designed and intentionally kept simple, it's also easier to get back up and running when something goes wrong. In this case, snac's "files-only" approach demonstrated excellent resilience. Thanks, @grunfink ! #snac2 #snac #ThankYouTuesday #Efficiency #IT #SysAdmin #OwnYourData

Morning fedi. I kept messing with my instance the past week, was in that geeky mood. Now my entire domain is transferred to Cloudflare including the DNS records and acting as a proxy for my instance. I tested a little more with the relay functionality too, relay.infosec.exchange is just way too sensitive to any kind of service interruption so I had to abandon it, it kept dropping my instance. I kept rel.re which seems to be reliable and added relay.toot.io . My journey in the #fediverse continues! #relay #GoToSocial #admin
