Hi, I'm @mmn, maintainer of GNUsocial. I reacted when it was written that "many people on gnusocial are angry" and wish to say that !GNUsocial has only love and appreciation for #Mastodon and #ActivityPub.
I believe cooperation is important for libre software and the federated social web. I believe our plural and diverse community should embrace and encourage contributors and development. Any progress we want to make - regardless of anyone's preferred technology - is impeded by hostility and empowered by friendship.
So I want to say thank @cwebber @gargron et al. for all the hard work you actively put into ActivityPub. It's awesome that so many users get in touch with !fs via open protocols. -

@cwebber The only reason !GNUsocial doesn't have #ActivityPub yet is because I have a fulltime job and noone else has been up for the task .]
Though I'm pretty sure it'd still just be the 100% public parts of AP that would be used/promoted, as I'm pretty much convinced there's no such thing as privacy in the social sphere anyway and anyone using "private" communication in an environment like !GNUsocial or #Mastodon is fooled either by the platform, the administrator or other users. (anything accessible via a web browser isn't made for privacy) -

@patrickme !GNUsocial is another piece of software entirely that has some features that #Mastodon lacks and vice versa. -

#Mastodon v1.5.1 is a really small patch release that fixes a rather important regression in 1.5.0 that (to my knowledge) affected primarily GNU social accounts https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v1.5.1

PS, that server is (at least to search engine caches) a #Mastodon instance ,) -

I'm perfectly happy that #Mastodon exists, and if it implements #ActivityPub in a future version, more power to it. And if it drops #OStatus support, well, that's what forks (or reimplementations) like #Mastodon are for. But don't blame #GNUsocial developers for not following #Mastodon's road map for the future. -

The big thing that's prevented me from even trying #Mastodon is the lack of support for !Fedgroups. And that's not a wrongful implemenation of #OStatus; I believe #Fedgroups are implemented as a specific client behaviour, nothing to do with OStatus. -

How well known is it amongst #Mastodon users that their privacy features don't really work outside of their own instance? Perhaps some admins know, but much of the flaming is coming from people angry that #GNUsocial doesn't follow the privacy conventions of #Mastodon. But being angry that the #GNUsocial developer(s) aren't creating the same illusion of privacy is really misdirected anger. -

The author's explanation of expectation of "security" or "privacy" in #Mastodon is concerning. Knowing that !OStatus provides no privacy or security at all, bolting privacy and security features onto #Mastodon isn't going to work. This is not the fault of #OStatus, nor is it a shortcoming of #GNUsocial that it doesn't implement security or privacy with #OStatus, but recognizes that constraint. -

The article attributes lots of statements to the authors of both #GNUsocial and #Mastodon, things that I've never heard either state online (nothing that reached my timeline, anyway). The whole article seems to make the difference between #GNUsocial and #Mastodon much more acrimonious than I've experienced. -

I would have mentioned the author, Trysdyn, but his #GNUsocial or #Mastodon userID is strangely absent from his website -

@Gargron I really think you should impose a default license to #Mastodon creations. A libre CC license supposedly. Otherwise copyright says noone is allowed to redistribute neither posts nor other media. Formality may suck but it would suck more if ysers start harassing other instances with takedown requests because they didn't understand that posting on the web means copying and distributing by nature. -

I am slightly uneased by the extreme increase of #Patreon advertisement in the !fediverse recently (since #Mastodon). What is this, a feudalverse? -

@kaniini Seems you have an attitude problem to solve before you can get your point across to people. At least that may be a blocking issue causing your great suggestions to bounce. If you fix the attitude bug, maybe @Gargron and you can communicate without information loss.
If people who pay him money are dissatisfied with "his leadership" then they can withdraw the _donations_ and see if that changes anything. My hopes are that made-up currency doesn't dictate #Mastodon development and project management. -

@maloki Right, that thing could probably be fixed by doing a remote-fetch of parent (which I believe #Mastodon does for replies to unknown posts, right?).
I haven't checked whether the feed is fixed yet (@Gargron mentions the Suprrrfeedrrrrr "sanitation" with thr:in-reply-to)
We stitch together instances in !GNUsocial based on the conversation URI though, which is never stored or distributed from #Mastodon (which relies entirely on thr:in-reply-to)
What we have is however a bit of a mess and I don't remember which part is what we actually use and which part just comes along from #StatusNet (where none of this worked and conversations were even more broken). -

@espectalll @realramnit I haven't tried using the "Remote follow" link on a #Mastodon instance yet, no. But that's just a redirect to /main/ostatussub which works great. I just subscribed to @ekaitzzarraga for example. -

I tried using #Mastodon in a secure web browser (no javascript). After registration and log in, this is what I got: https://social.umeahackerspace.se/attachment/158309
