Another small step in Forgejo federation.

Getting Forgejo and mastodon services to talk had some unexpected pitfalls.
Mastodon only federates on port 443 for example, that means Forgejo needs to be able to listen on a privileged port even for testing. You can imagine the troubles setting up our e2e tests properly.

This is finally behind us and were now aiming to integrate the test into the automated test suite (with a lot of work already done by @famfo)

#mastodon #forgejo #federation

One of the powerful things about the Fediverse and Social Web is that people can follow you from anywhere!

People from the same server you are on.

But also people from other servers can follow you.

Should the ability for people on other servers to follow you be OFF by default?

And, only people on the same server you are on can follow you by default?

#Federation #Fediverse #SocialWeb

It’s not finished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. 🥹

Loops is now open, built in public, and growing every day — laying the groundwork for a future where you can build your own TikTok.

A future where governments can’t censor you. Where corporations can’t control the conversation. Where the social web belongs to the people again.

This is how it starts. ✊

Loops has two federation modes, Open which is default, and another called Lockdown.

With Lockdown, you have to define allowed servers, allowing for greater control over your federation experience ✨

Loops is federating with Mastodon and Pixelfed 🥳

I'm still doing some tests, and will be pushing the ActivityPub PR shortly ✨

#loops #activitypub #federation #mastodon #pixelfed

🧵2of2 This is why building ethical alternatives matters.

The #SocialWeb exists because we refused to accept that surveillance capitalism was inevitable.

We chose #federation over centralization.

#CommunityOwnership over corporate control.

We need the same approach for #WearableTech

Hardware that clearly indicates when it's recording. Software that keeps data local. Designs that prioritize consent over convenience.

The question isn't whether this technology will exist. It's who gets to control how it works.

Meta's approach serves advertisers and data brokers. A community-driven approach would serve actual human safety and dignity.

My framework: Technology should expand human agency, not reduce it.

When surveillance tools are marketed as consumer convenience, we have a responsibility to call out the real consequences for vulnerable people.

What's your take? How do we build wearable tech that serves community safety instead of corporate surveillance?

I was able to finish the Loops shared inbox handler and add support for `Flag` activities.

Thanks to phpstan, Loops will soon ship solid federation support with coverage for the most popular activities.

I can't wait to ship and tag v1.0.0-beta.1 🚀

#loops #activityPub #federation #tikTok

Thanks to Pixelfed, I've made Loops a lot easier to install & manage.

Loops also handles comment threading, mentions, notifications and like/share/reply counters much better.

The upcoming federation PR is my biggest ever, and will bring full ActivityPub federation to Loops 😍

#loops #tiktok #activityPub #reels #federation

I've been busy wrapping up the final parts of Loops ActivityPub federation!

We will ship with two modes (Open and Lockdown), the latter allowing you to restrict federation with allowed instances only (and enforced via AuthorizedFetch)

You can also disable Federation support

I'll have a better ETA this weekend after some more testing ✨

Thanks to phpstan, this may even ship this weekend 🚀

Why on earth was the #ActivityPub protocol even let out the door without a well-specified and mandatory graceful, non-destructive key rotation scheme?

Yes I know the privacy issues. Those are not valid reasons to not have such a mechanism; it's a valid reason to not enable or use one.

What we're stuck with now is a ton of instances with absurdly long, legacy-algorithm keys (RSA-4096) with no way to replace them with shorter/better keys without effectively losing everything ever posted on the instance.

The protocol is only 7 years old! EC crypto was well-established at the time, and should have been the default.

And what happens once everyone has to replace the keys, because RSA is broken by quantum computers (I know, probably 100 years to go)? The #Fediverse will be a wasteland, with no instances trusting anything from any other instance, so all #Federation breaks down.

Sorry if I got some details wrong about what the protocol says. If I get flamed to death for being wrong, then I'll consider that a Good Thing(TM). I've been trying to find a way to rotate/replace keys for a while and all my searching turns up is either 1) confirmation that most people don't know or care about cryptography, or 2) https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/key-rotation-notification/562 - which really isn't helpful.

If it is possible to gracefully rotate the key(s) of an instance/user, there really has to exist some documentation that explains clearly how to implement this in a server and how to exercise it as a server operator.

Concept for discussion: Replacing HTTP Signatures with Bearer Tokens for ActivityPub Federation

Curious what other people think about this idea. What if federation security was re-worked to use target-assigned bearer tokens to authenticate GET/POST requests? This would remove the need for complicated signing schemes and reduce system load under heavy traffic bursts (as no cryptography is required).

A basic implementation could look like this:
1. When instance A (a.example.com) first attempts to federate with instance B (b.example.com), a POST request is made to a dedicated registration endpoint. (for discussion, we'll say it's https://b.example.com/activity-pub/register-instance). This request includes fields necessary for verification, including the source domain name, target domain name, and a securely-generated verification token. Other metadata could be included to allow instance B to selectively allow/prohibit federation based on other criteria, but this is optional.
2. Instance B makes a POST request back to a dedicated verification endpoint on instance A (for discussion, we'll say it's https://a.example.com/activity-pub/verify-registration). This request must include the target domain name and verification token provided in step 2.
3. Instance A checks the verification token (and verify that it matches the target domain name) and return a successful value. The verification code must be invalidated after this call!
4. Instance B, after verifying instance A's request, returns a securely-generated federation key back to instance A. This federation key is a bearer token used to authenticate all requests from instance A to instance B. This key must be unique to instance A!
5. Instance A completes the original request with the Authorization header set to Bearer {federation_key}.
6. Instance B receives the request, detects the federation key, and checks it against the list of registered instances.
7. If the key does not exist or A has been defederated, then a 403 Forbidden error is returned.
8. If the key is expired or revoked, then 401 Unauthorized error is returned. Upon receiving a 401 error, instance A should start over from step 1 to re-authenticate and complete the request with a new token. This process should not be repeated for recursive failures!
9. If the key is approved, then a 200 OK response or 202 Accepted response is returned, and A can consider the request as successful.

Advantages versus HTTP Signatures:
- No cryptography requirements.
- Simple logic, no edge cases around HTTP query parameters or header order.
- Equally effective for all request types.
- Keys can be easily revoked or rotated.
- Supports authorized fetch and defederation use cases "by default".

Disadvantages versus HTTP Signatures:
- Breaks the actor model - instances are required as a first-class concept. (but really, the actor model is basically dead already. you can't even federate reliably without a WebFinger server, at minimum.)
- Requires multi-request "handshake" before communication. (but this is already required in practice, since a signature can't be validated without first requesting the signing actor.)
- Out-of-band protocol - communication can't happen over ActivityPub / ActivityStreams because this is a prerequisite to authenticate any request. (but again, we already require WebFinger and some software requires NodeInfo for full support.)

So, what are your thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea? Did I miss something? Please let me know, I welcome replies here!

Socialhome v0.22.0 released, with a completely new UI!

This is a massive milestone for the #Socialhome project, one that could not have been possible without the hard work of @alain@jase.socialAlain St-Denis. If you have followed the Socialhome project, you'll know that Alain has been responsible for most of the development of project in the recent years. This includes rewriting the #federation library to ensure #ActivityPub support is first class. More recently Alain has taken the challenge of rewriting the frontend, which has fallen into a rather poor state over the years.

The new UI work is actually a coordination of two people working many years apart. Way back years ago @lightone@mastodon.xyzlostinlight made some UI designs for a new Socialhome UI (thank you! <3). While the designs were not implemented for years, they were not forgotten. In 2023 Alain jumped to the challenge and started the full UI rewrite of the Socialhome frontend. This UI has now matured into a state that it is good for daily usage - which is the main focus of this release!

Currently, a Socialhome installation will still default to the old UI. If you do want to try out the new UI for example on socialhome.network, go to the account settings and toggle the "New UI" flag. Going back is also easy, should the new UI cause unforeseen issues (please do report!).

If you are a server admin, see the new UI installation instructions for how to add the new UI to your instance.

This is not all! The releases of v0.21.0 and v0.22.0 also contain a bunch of other changes and fixes. Most notably;

• ActivityPub profiles are now richer, including bio and a larger picture, in addition to an avatar.
• Many new API's to support the new UI, including session authentication, search, media upload, content fetching over uuid, profile organize and profile settings.
• Whoosh has been replaced with Xapian as a search index backend.

See the full changelogs. Additionally, the federation library has received a ton of changes and fixes which can be found here.

Also, last but not least, we moved from GitLab to Codeberg. Check out the new repositories.

Installing and updating

We recommend using the Docker images (amd64/arm64).

Notes on how to use the Docker images can be found in the docs.

What is Socialhome?

Socialhome is best described as a federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the ActivityPub and Diaspora protocols.

Please check the official site for more information about features. Naturally, the official site is a Socialhome profile itself.

• Official site
• Documentation (for admins)
• Code repository (GitHub mirror)
• Chat room on Matrix

Try Socialhome?

If you want to try Socialhome first before trying to install it, register at https://socialhome.network and then ping us with a comment on the user name chosen to get the account approved. You can also request account approval in the chat room. This unfortunately approval step is due to spammers.

So, not just Decentralized Social (DeSo), but instead —

Decentralized Social (DeSo), Federated Social (FeSo), Localized Social (LoSo)

The goal is 'social' that is simultaneously — 'Decentralized', 'Federated', and 'Localized', all at the same time.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/114551725757671167

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #Decentralization #DeSo #Federation #FeSo #Fediverse #governance #Localization #LoSo

Federation is the word we use to describe that act of bringing together and connecting these separate Decentralized, Localized communities.

This is where protocols such as ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, etc come into play.

Federation is a voluntary choice.
But, so too is Defederation, if desired.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #Decentralization #DeSo #Federation #FeSo #Fediverse #governance #Localization #LoSo

3/

Localization is important to make Decentralization work and last.

Decentralization without Localization can be susceptible to Centralization.

Decentralization with Localization spreads out decision-making and power to groups (that could consistent of a single individual) with a personal stake in the outcome of the decision-making.

Which creates incentives that lead to greater resilience to Centralization.

The message matters, as it can affect the future.

I think we should make a point to ALSO explicitly talk about 'Federation' and 'Localization' when we talk about 'Decentralization'.

Because if we don't, then — it is likely these values will be lost.

(I think we have already started seeing this in some places.)

In some ways it is unfortunate that the word 'Decentralization' has become a short-hand for the three ideas:

Decentralization, Federation, Localization

Some know that all the ideas are important — and that 'Decentralization' is a short-hand for all three.

But, many don't!

If you’re having trouble visualising the power differentials designed into federated systems, think of this scenario:

You have an instance of 1 person. An instance of 1 million people decides to block your instance.

What have they done?

They’ve blocked 1 million people from interacting with you.

Now let’s reverse the scenario: You, with your instance of 1, decide to block an instance of 1 million.

What have you done?

You’ve blocked 1 million people from interacting with you.
