  1. Todays FOSS Drama served to you by @Codeberg

    Tl;dr: Codeberg wants to exclude "vibed"/" LLM'd projects from its platform by means of TOU, hilarity ensues.

    codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pull

    news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4 (via, also some discussion)

    Adding one here: Burden of proof and how do you sufficiently prove or refute the "vibed" nature of any given work without falling to arbitrary / unpredictable results.
    One more argument for self-hosting.

    Also interesting to projects such as #bizzfed or #nolto both of which would likely or clearly be banned from the platform now.

  4. Looks like Nolto found a future - just in a different field.

    github.com/Jtensetti/fediverse

    I reiterate my point on "this needs appropriate amounts of capital to execute as federated professional social network". Especially if it's supposed to not instantly fall into the extraction-business-model-trap / surveillance-capitalism-trap.

  7. A quick note on Nolto.
    On 15 March 2026 its creator Jonathan Tensetti intentionally closed the service and deleted his Fediverse account.

    What he built - Europe’s second decentralised LinkedIn alternative on ActivityPub - was gloriously vibecoded but effective. It showed, with hard data and testimonials, that the demand for a sovereignty-respecting professional platform is real.

    I had been working in parallel: detailed research on technical choices, product mechanics, business-model viability under distributed/FOSS conditions, and how to test everything in practice for such a product. Nothing yolo — but nothing yet proven in production either. Jonathan precluded me by just yolo'ing the Nolto MVP. Thanks for that.

    To move from proven demand to a solid, maintainable product I need proper capital, runway and possibly 1-2 additional people.
    I'm looking for European-aligned funding - preferably from Germany, Poland or Denmark - networks that value independence and data protection without the usual bureaucratic overhead.

    If you know the right people in those circles, please connect me with them before the current momentum fades.

    Serious replies and boosts appreciated.

  14. @egovpod Ein erster Versuch scheint nolto.social gewesen zu sein, da hatte ich mich kurz angemeldet. War ganz interessant, auch dank der Möglichkeit, Daten von LinkedIn zu importieren. Hier wurde aber auch Kritik laut und mittlerweile ist das Ein-Personen-Projekt bereits wieder beendet (s. Screenshot).

  19. A very fresh #LinkedIn #europeanalternative #Nolto is shutting down after a few weeks operation. The lonely creator received rather unfair, irrealistic and personal attacks. That's too bad.

    On the other hand, this is a useful experience. As a non-programmer, he started the development using #AI. In such a critical production code, this is probably not really helpful. #Vibecoding is a debated approach even if used by experienced teams.

    I feel bad for the guy anyhow.

  21. nolto.social is vibe coded.

    In their documentation at github.com/Jtensetti/fediverse the first thing it says is "Built with ❤️ on Lovable.dev" lovable.dev/ a vibe coding service. Followed by extensive emoji use.

    You can see in their git commits, the author is nearly always "lovable-dev[bot]" github.com/Jtensetti/fediverse

    Also on their LLM-written home page they claim to federate with everything, which is impossible. Believe me, I have tried.

  31. Omdat ik er ook als de kippen bij wil zijn als er een fediverse alternatief voor LinkedIn blijkt te zijn. Geen idee of ik er veel mee ga doen, LinkedIn gebruikte ik geheel niet. Maar wie weet. Voor als ik weer eens op zoek wil naar kunstzinnige of illustratie opdrachten.
    Je mag me toevoegen als connectie in ieder geval als je het ook wil uitproberen :)

  33. In my (slow) quest to leave Big Tech, I today finally found a possible LinkedIn alternative. I created an account (be sure to delete everything before "nolto.social" in the email verification link, if you use email sign-up) and filled it with a download from my LinkedIn profile (currently in Dutch).

    You can find my profile through: nolto.social/profile/markdevri
