There sure is alot going on with Federated social plattforms!

We have Mastondon (which I am running an instance https://social.linux.pizza) that is a opensource, free, Federated Twitter clone

We have Peertube - a open, free and federated YouTube alternative

PixelFed - currently in development for thoose who are seeking an open, free and federated Instagram alternative

Check them out! And maybe join one or host your own?

    And we'll hopefully have federated code development with Gitea at some point

    This is the future, with the blockchain and other decentralized systems. People are realizing that centralized informations owned by a single company (hello Facebook, hello Google) can be dangerous because nobody can watch the system..

    @kolaente
    Pls with ActivityPub
  • 2
    @Linux sure, that would be a killer feature which most (if not all?) Other git platforms don't have. I didn't dove much into details, but apparently activitypub is a pita to implement in go, which is mostly why that wasn't done already.

    Where do you get the "72 character limit" from?
  • 0
    @Linux bcrypt truncates the input after 70some chars. I forget the exact length. I'm also unsure if this limitation exists for all implementations.

    @Condor The user would be able to input and successfully login with an incorrect password. This is scary.

    Well, I can write 500 chars long toots. I also did not see anything that was related to mcrypt when I installed it. Only openssl

    @kolaente https://about.teahub.io/ is comming soon. Not federated but still nice.

    @Linux I've used it for password hashing in several projects.

    Using an 80 character password, I can log in successfully with incorrect trailing chars, and even when padding it with several hundred more of garbage.

    Thus I limit the user input length to avoid users seeing this behavior.

    Mastodon.linux.pizza@nixmagic.com?

    @Condor @AlpineLinnix
    Why would a 72 char limit be an issue? Are you worried about bruteforce?

    @Root
    Aaah, I understand!

    Why not use condor+mastodon@nixmagic.com instead?
    recipient_delimiter or something in postfix

    @Condor bcrypt only keeps the first 72 characters

    What provider do you use?
    I dont have anything that is wrong with it, but it seems like it is check the root instead of the subdomain
