That wouldn’t be cool. At all.
I’d prefer to go in the other direction (i.e. away from permissive) and add a ‘no fascists or tankies or genocide’ clause to AGPL, actually. ChatGPT assures me that would be bad and possibly illegal (?!) tho, so I might just end up putting stuff in the code of conduct which achieves the same ends.
My first instinct is to go for AGPL but the whole licensing debate isn’t something I’ve ever really engaged with so I’m not really making an informed decision about that.
What’s the advantages of a more permissive license?
I’m building a Lemmy/Kbin clone, using Python (Flask framework). I’m about 3 months in so the basics are there but it’s definitely still half-baked…
If this sounds like something you’d like to contribute to, pop your email address into this form https://rimu.geek.nz/piefed-comms/?p=subscribe and I’ll keep you in the loop!
There are many foss options in the F-Droid store.
You could use it as part of your infrastructure. E.g. DNS server, database server, redis server, file server. But running the whole stack will be too much unless you upgrade the RAM. 1 GB minimum, preferably 2.
Wow, that is pretty nice. Thanks!
If you have trouble where the email you send gets binned as spam by recipients, set up a SMTP server using aws SES and send through there instead.
3·1 year agoI was a bit nervous about this too but I just set up a kbin instance on ARM (nginx, php, postgres, redis, and more) and didn’t notice any difference. Totally straightforward. And the VPS costs half as much as the x86 equivalent from the same host.
Oh, yes, the chattiness of the ActivityPub protocol could very well become a problem and some sort of network topology will need to be designed. Without a fediverse-wide governance structure, that could be difficult!
I set up an instance recently. I found that as soon as a couple of other people joined the instance and started subscribing to groups there was more than enough content coming in.
There are only so many communities to join and once one person joins something the entire server benefits. So it feels much less lonely than a small mastodon instance. No real need for a relay.
How does the data throughput compare to cloudflare or wireguard?
