    Die Option ein Profil in eine static pages umzuwandeln und dies im code der jeweiligen #fediVerse Plattform-Software anzulegen ist mehr als nahe liegend und eine interessante berechtigte Option die wahrscheinlich von vorne herein im main code angelegt werden muss. Ebenso wie die oben beschriebene Übergabe oder AGB-Änderungssequenz.

    #Joindiaspora Posts sind noch auf anderen Servern vorhanden.

    requeteche.tupambae.com ist eine Beispiel static page "saved as html".

    #Joindiaspora wurde "stillgelegt", und für einen darauffolgenden download der Profildaten modifiziert und eingefroren.
    Die Profile wurden nicht in static pages umgewandelt, war nicht möglich oder zu kompliziert. Als Meilenstein in der Geschichte des Internets und #fediVerse an sich sehr schade. Toot's automatisch nach X-Tagen löschen ist im Falle von microblogging und dessen Verwendung eine verständliche Option, Initiativen wie archive.org jedoch auch.

    So, fun little story about #joindiaspora, and maybe #diaspora in general.

    I get a lot of takedown requests from Russia's "Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media", aka Roskomnadzor. As it turns out, there's a lot of content hosted on Geraspora that.. they really don't like for some reason. Weird. My usual response to those emails (or sometimes even letters!!) is to ... laugh and delete them. Unless something is violating German law, I give exactly zero fucks about their requests. They've sent me fun messages about bloking my entire infrastructure multiple times, and I know they even did a couple of times (but then removed it again, for whatever weird reason).

    Anyway.

    Today, I (as the person currently technically hosting JoinDiaspora), got another one of those fun messages, but this time about an image on JoinDiaspora instead of Geraspora. I've pasted the full message below in case you're curios how that looks like. It's worth noting that clearly, some Russian Agent did this whole thing by hand: The post isn't even there anymore, and the email addresses they sent the message to were not easy to discover: They sent an email to my business address that is listed in the domain's SOA record, to my private email address that's only listed on my website, and to the [email protected] alias. You don't find those addresses automatically, you have to dig for them.

    Unfortunately, this time, I actually found that the image in question was also violating German federal law. As a "service provider", this puts me in a difficult legal position: I'm generally not liable for user-generated content, but I become liable if I become aware of illegal content and don't act on it. In this case, the potential consequence could be a prison sentence between six months and five years. So I had to delete the image and notify the user (who, unfortunately, doesn't know about this since their email address bounced).

    But instead of just deleting the image file and/or the post, ... why not leave them a little message instead?

    I'm sure Roskomnadzor will appreciate us saying hello when they eventually check back to see if the image is still up. :)

    Socialhome.Network as a searchable federation archive


    The Socialhome node socialhome.network/ is both widely federated AND searchable by non-members. It displays both posts AND profile pages even to non-members, which is NOT the case for Diaspora* pods.

    If you're looking for specific content from a now-defunct pod, Socialhome may be able to turn that up for you.

    You can search for a specific profile by the its handle, e.g., [email protected] or [email protected], for my present and now-defunct Joindiaspora profiles, using the site's Search feature.

    My (now-offline at origin) Joindiaspora profile appears as:

    socialhome.network/p/702b2f0c-…

    Note that the profile GUID is NOT the same as it would be for my Joindiaspora profle itself (`d8210c0de509264f``). The Diaspora* GUID can be used to construct a URL visible from the Diaspora* Pod you have an account on and are logged in to, but not as a globally-viewable third-party-accessible URL. Socialhome solves this problem.

    That is, if you are on Glasswings, this URL links to my Joindiaspora profile:

    diaspora.glasswings.com/people…

    But if you're not, it won't. Glasswings users might try a different pod such as Diasp.org:

    diasp.org/people/d8210c0de5092…

    Instead, third-party visitors are presented with a log-in / registration page. Socialhome solves this problem specifically.

    There may be additional features / API apparent at the Socialhome GitLab repo: git.feneas.org/socialhome/soci…

    Noting that that is a FENEAS URL, also likely to go offline in the near future, GitHub:

    github.com/jaywink/socialhome

    Limitations


    The downsides to Socialhome seem to be that:
    • References to content and profiles does not follow Diaspora*-assigned GUIDs. That is, there's no automated way to refernece a specific post or profile.
    • I'm not seeing an obvious way of exposing a JSON abstract of posts or profiles --- the Diaspora* trick of appending .json to the end of a URL does not work, and I'm not seeing a JSON abstract in the raw HTML. There may still be an API.
    Photos are displayed but appear to be served from the original host, not separately federated. Once the origin host goes offline, photo links / embeds will be broken.

    It's not clear how widely or deeply content is federated, though some should be better than none. This option was brought to my attention by @isaackuo in comments here.

    Hello JoinDiaspora


    there is some unfortunate news to share. Feneas will be dissolved and as Joindiaspora is one of the services.
    JD will also be shut down on 1 March.

    This is unless we can find someone who wants to take over the service.
    If you think you can handle the task please contact us via [email protected].

    You can find the original post below or via git.feneas.org/feneas/associat…

    Federated Networks Association ry will be dissolved


    Due to recent lack of activity within the association, issues maintaining the current services and lack of new committee members wanting to step up, the members of Federated Networks Association ry (Feneas) have decided to dissolve the association. The decision to do so was done as per the rules of the association in two Annual General Meetings held no more than 30 days apart. You can find the meeting logs via the below links:

    What happens next?

    • The current committee will start to send out service closure warnings to all users using the current services.
    • The timeline of shutting down the services is as follows:
      • Discourse (talk.feneas.org) will be shut down on or soon after the 1st of February (UTC morning time).
      • Friendica (friendica.feneas.org) will be shut down on or soon after the 1st of February (UTC morning time).
      • The following services will be shut down on or soon after the 1st of March (UTC morning time). This includes:
      • Matrix (matrix.feneas.org), Element client (chat.feneas.org) and the various bots
      • GitLab (git.feneas.org)
      • Searx (searx.feneas.org)
      • Etherpad (pad.feneas.org)
      • Nextcloud (cloud.feneas.org)
    • Before turning off the Matrix homeserver, all local users will be deactivated, parting them from all the rooms they have joined. This will start happening on the 1st of March (UTC morning), with the homeserver turned off a few days after the process ends.
    • JoinDiaspora (joindiaspora.com) will inform soon separately about the situation for that service via the official [email protected] account.
    • WeDistribute (wedistribute.org) are Fediverse Party (fediverse.party) will be announced once the stakeholders for those services have been contacted fully. They are expected to re-own their service for their own hosting, but if that doesn't happen, the services will shut down on a date agreed with the stakeholders.
    • All remaining data will be destroyed on or soon after the 1st of April. This will include backups. Some exemptions will be;
      • membership details will be kept until necessary by law (date to be cleared)
      • financial details will be kept until necessary by law (date to be cleared)
      • the public repositories of the association on the GitLab instance will be mirrored on GitLab.com. These can be found from git.feneas.org/feneas
    • The feneas.org domain will be handed over to standing committee vice-president Lukas Matt as agreed in the 4th January AGM. A static website will be hosted there to give details on what Feneas was and what happened to it.
      • The Matrix homeserver server key will be securely stored should the homeserver ever need to come back online. All other homeserver data will be destroyed.
    • Once all the services have been ramped down or moved over, and data destroyed, any accounts left over will be closed and the association will be terminated in the Finnish associations registry.
    • As agreed in the 4th January AGM, if any funds remain in the Feneas bank account (possibly in the amount of tens of euros), they will be donated to Framasoft.

    So long and thanks for federating


    As the Feneas committee president and founding member, I want to thank all the members and users who trusted Feneas over the years. It's been a good and often fun 3,5 years of Feneas. While we managed to create a sometimes vibrant collection of services and attract people and projects from around the Fediverse, ultimately we failed to build a community that would last longer than the amount of time founding members could dedicate a good chunk of their life. For both the main founders (Lukas and me, Jason) real life and other priorities caught up with us, and thus it's time to move forward. It was also clear from the discussions at the end that not enough active community members exist to keep the association afloat. I'm personally happy we did this project, even though it had to reach its end.

    Our chat rooms are still active over at Matrix (#feneas:feneas.org) and Libera (#feneas). If you have questions, for example about exporting your data, or just want to say hi, feel free to pop in. At least the main chatroom is going to stay alive after the association is finally taken off the official association registry, so you're welcome to say hi even afterwards.

    If you have concerns or questions you can also reach out via email with generic questions to [email protected] or [email protected] (for privacy queries). You can also reach me via a private message on Matrix at @jaywink:federator.dev.

    All the best to everyone!

    Best regards,
    Jason Robinson

    Hello JoinDiaspora


    there is some unfortunate news to share. Feneas will be dissolved and as Joindiaspora is one of the services.
    JD will also be shut down on 1 March.

    This is unless we can find someone who wants to take over the service.
    If you think you can handle the task please contact us via [email protected].

    You can find the original post below or via git.feneas.org/feneas/associat…

    Federated Networks Association ry will be dissolved


    Due to recent lack of activity within the association, issues maintaining the current services and lack of new committee members wanting to step up, the members of Federated Networks Association ry (Feneas) have decided to dissolve the association. The decision to do so was done as per the rules of the association in two Annual General Meetings held no more than 30 days apart. You can find the meeting logs via the below links:

    What happens next?

    • The current committee will start to send out service closure warnings to all users using the current services.
    • The timeline of shutting down the services is as follows:
      • Discourse (talk.feneas.org) will be shut down on or soon after the 1st of February (UTC morning time).
      • Friendica (friendica.feneas.org) will be shut down on or soon after the 1st of February (UTC morning time).
      • The following services will be shut down on or soon after the 1st of March (UTC morning time). This includes:
      • Matrix (matrix.feneas.org), Element client (chat.feneas.org) and the various bots
      • GitLab (git.feneas.org)
      • Searx (searx.feneas.org)
      • Etherpad (pad.feneas.org)
      • Nextcloud (cloud.feneas.org)
    • Before turning off the Matrix homeserver, all local users will be deactivated, parting them from all the rooms they have joined. This will start happening on the 1st of March (UTC morning), with the homeserver turned off a few days after the process ends.
    • JoinDiaspora (joindiaspora.com) will inform soon separately about the situation for that service via the official [email protected] account.
    • WeDistribute (wedistribute.org) are Fediverse Party (fediverse.party) will be announced once the stakeholders for those services have been contacted fully. They are expected to re-own their service for their own hosting, but if that doesn't happen, the services will shut down on a date agreed with the stakeholders.
    • All remaining data will be destroyed on or soon after the 1st of April. This will include backups. Some exemptions will be;
      • membership details will be kept until necessary by law (date to be cleared)
      • financial details will be kept until necessary by law (date to be cleared)
      • the public repositories of the association on the GitLab instance will be mirrored on GitLab.com. These can be found from git.feneas.org/feneas
    • The feneas.org domain will be handed over to standing committee vice-president Lukas Matt as agreed in the 4th January AGM. A static website will be hosted there to give details on what Feneas was and what happened to it.
      • The Matrix homeserver server key will be securely stored should the homeserver ever need to come back online. All other homeserver data will be destroyed.
    • Once all the services have been ramped down or moved over, and data destroyed, any accounts left over will be closed and the association will be terminated in the Finnish associations registry.
    • As agreed in the 4th January AGM, if any funds remain in the Feneas bank account (possibly in the amount of tens of euros), they will be donated to Framasoft.

    So long and thanks for federating


    As the Feneas committee president and founding member, I want to thank all the members and users who trusted Feneas over the years. It's been a good and often fun 3,5 years of Feneas. While we managed to create a sometimes vibrant collection of services and attract people and projects from around the Fediverse, ultimately we failed to build a community that would last longer than the amount of time founding members could dedicate a good chunk of their life. For both the main founders (Lukas and me, Jason) real life and other priorities caught up with us, and thus it's time to move forward. It was also clear from the discussions at the end that not enough active community members exist to keep the association afloat. I'm personally happy we did this project, even though it had to reach its end.

    Our chat rooms are still active over at Matrix (#feneas:feneas.org) and Libera (#feneas). If you have questions, for example about exporting your data, or just want to say hi, feel free to pop in. At least the main chatroom is going to stay alive after the association is finally taken off the official association registry, so you're welcome to say hi even afterwards.

    If you have concerns or questions you can also reach out via email with generic questions to [email protected] or [email protected] (for privacy queries). You can also reach me via a private message on Matrix at @jaywink:federator.dev.

    All the best to everyone!

    Best regards,
    Jason Robinson

  24. @dredmorbius shame that Diaspora doesn't have #Zot / #Zap's #NomadicIdentity... Would make these instance deaths easier to deal with...
    At least with #Mastodon you can migrate your followers, somewhat, but I wish we could also easily migrate our content...

    Any specific reason you went for #Glasswings? I kinda expected you to move to #PlusPora.

    Personally I don't think I'll bother creating another #Diaspora* profile, as I barely used my #JoinDiaspora one anyway.

    I must admit that one of the reasons I pick JD at the time, was that it seemed to be the flagship instance, and I expected that one to be one of the last to fall. Guess I was wrong. ;)

  26. Federated Networks Association ry will be dissolved

    git.feneas.org/feneas/associat

    This is an organisation and number of services based around federated and decentralised systems. The disbanding of FENEAS affects several instances of distributed services, but not the services as a whole themselves.

    It does however mean that my own home on the Diaspora network joindiaspora.com, will be going offline.

  28. Diaspora heads-up: Seems as if Joindiaspora.com isn't federating currently.

    For anyone who follows me there as well as here, I'm not seeing updates, comments, notifications, or DMs.

    I'd noted this a couple of hours ago here:
    joindiaspora.com/posts/3ccd85a

    It had been ongoing for 4+ hours at that time.

    I have contacted the podmin via email.
