git-sync looks like it does at you’re looking for.

Oh, nice. Saving the link’s content is exactly the feature I’ve been looking for.

As someone who was also recently looking for a multi device alternative for mihon/tachiyomi, I highly recommend Suwayomi. It’s even somewhat compatible with Mihon. It can use the same extension repos and you can restore Mihon backups in Suwayomi, which makes the migration pretty smooth.

Username on github seems to be the same as on Docker Hub: https://github.com/sciactive/nephele

Codeberg isn’t an entirely new forge. It’s just a well-known gitea/forgejo instance. Sourcehut would probably be a better example.

From what I’ve read you need it for Bittorrent or at least the chance of failed downloads is higher without it.

Definitely worth it IMO. There’s a lot of parts involved in a Matrix setup and this playbook handles them all for you. Just make sure to have a look at the changelog whenever you update your installation. If there are any changes that require manual steps, it usually explains those steps quite well.

Personally I don’t like the whole crypto coins scene much but if you’re interested in an open social network with ties to crypto, have a look a nostr.

I think Stash should cover most of your points, except for the page-less scroll: https://github.com/stashapp/stash The only other software I know for this is Porn Vault: https://gitlab.com/porn-vault/porn-vault

Oof. Just had a quick look at it. It’s like 90% crypto content. And lot of it are obvious scams to steal your coins.

While I agree that it is probably better to not defederate them right from the start, I believe that the Fediverse might not have that much leverage. This recent blog post about the history of XMPP describes it pretty well: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

As expected, no Google user bated an eye. In fact, none of them realised. At worst, some of their contacts became offline. That was all. But for the XMPP federation, it was like the majority of users suddenly disappeared. Even XMPP die hard fanatics, like your servitor, had to create Google accounts to keep contact with friends. Remember: for them, we were simply offline. It was our fault.

Of course it’s different because this is social media and not just 1:1 privat messages. But for us to actually have some leverage/impact we have to generate a lot of (good) content so that Threads users will actually notice and complain if that content “vanishes”. And at the same time we must not become too dependent on their content

Oh, now I see it at the end of your post: “… any servers that cleared up their spam accounts will be recovered.” Totally missed that. My bad, sorry.

That’s a cool idea. Thanks for your work!

One question: Let’s say the script defederates an instance and then the admin of that instance cleans up their database and makes sure no new bots can register. Would your script remove them from the blacklist or would I have to manually check if all instances on my blacklist are still “infested” to give them a second chance?

I think it’s actually pretty clean. Thanks to the references on the person table all related entries in the database like posts, comments, etc. also get deleted if there are any. It’s better than banning all those fake users and thereby spamming the modlog of all instances that federate with you 😅

I run a Jellyfin server, complete with Jellyseerr, Sonarr, Radarr, the works.

They’re already using Jellyseer.

Wouldn’t it still be a bit less taxing even with only one user? If I’m not mistaken then your instance only initially requests a community/post/comment from another instance when you specifically search for it. After that your server gets updates through activities pushed by the other instance. So if you refresh a post multiple times those requests only go to your instance. It somewhat acts like a cache, while the other instance can push activities at it’s own pace instead of being hammered with requests. Of course multiple users per instance would still be better.
