Hi fedi! @darius and I are digging into our governance research, and we have a great starter list of server admins to potentially talk to about governance and administration models and challenges, but *very unofficially*, I’d love to hear suggestions, too.
We’re looking at active servers ranging from ~100-2,500 users with some flex on either end of the range, and we’re building our list with an eye on structural, geographic, demographic (along multiple axes), and linguistic diversity.

Speaking as a director of the Veilid Foundation, I see no difference in the data construct you build when using the internet, and your physical or creative being. Those works are a part of you as much as your right hand is. I simply believe that it is morally reprehensible that we can give that up by signing a EULA.
We are entering a very dangerous era of the internet. The data silos are in fact datavores, and they have to continue to devour data wherever they can find it.
They have come to the fediverse, and now they are here to eat YOU. Your data construct/profile/ whatever you want to think of it as.
It is now more imperative than ever that projects like Veilid and Spritely, projects that restore the future we were promised through privacy tooling, become utilized and fully leveraged. Tools like these are armored with encryption and are resilient to the teeth of the datavore.
Your data is not theirs to own.

Protocols, Not Platforms (2019):
"The benefits of building a service as a platform are fairly obvious: the owner has ultimate control over that platform and thus is much better positioned to monetize the platforms via advertising of some form (or other ancillary services). This does, however, incentivize these platforms to acquire an ever increasing amount of data from their users to better target them."

Admitting copyright infringement, but framing it as inevitable, is an attempt to change the narrative, and we should see it clearly as such.
It probably means OpenAI has more skeletons to hide, and it wants us thinking the corpses naturally belong in the closet before we stumble upon them.

The reader and input stack have been ported, which is basically everything. There's still some entry points in C++ (PR being reviewed) and test helper binary (might make a good external contribution as it's entirely self-contained), but almost all of the C++ is gone, and with it large chunks of the FFI.
Now we just have the second 90% to go - making sure this rewritten fish is portable and distributable!
