       Okay, I said I'd have it earlier but here we are:  the Revolver Kickoff announcement:  https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/revolver-kickoff.htmlI also wrote some about the motivations, but if you have seen my posts at any point in the last few years or especially the last three months, it's probably not news to you:  https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/revolver-motivation.htmlI have been very excited about actually writing the code and had to kind of force myself to sit down and write that stuff, but I said "I'll have the announcement this weekend" then I said I'd have it yesterday morning and I figured I'd pushed back actually announcing it for long enough.  (I can code while shitposting casually but I can't write stuff like this while posting at all.)There will be a public repo with prototype code shortly, I think this week, but Hofstadter's Law says that it takes longer than you expect, even if you take Hofstadter's Law into account.METAL GEAR SOLID V_ THE DEFINITIVE EXPERIENCE_20181004231907.png

       this sounds similar to https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostrsome problems with nostr though are:lack of deletes. whoever can delete the data, owns the data. so basically the relays own the datadoesn’t build on activitypub in any way. there may be bridges to it, but it would make sense to just use activitypub protocol and be compatible

       @p I have a couple of questions:1. Is PleromaFE ported to it or is the Mastodon API implemented on top of Revolver? If so is it just enough for it to work or could you run other software on it?2. Does it connect to the fediverse via some sort of outproxy, or is there something more interesting?3. Are some of the details going to be explained in the future or will that be explained in the source code?

       @p Is there a simpler explanation for the plebs?I've heard of IPFS before, though I don't actually know what it is.I remember it was used with ZeroNet, which was an attempt at a peer-to-peer torrent based internet.So is Revolver™ P2P in some way?Will we have to download a special client side app, or allocate space on our machines for sharing of content on the network?(I'm fine with that BTW, just asking)I may be a dev myself, but I stay away from all things web like it's the plague.Not even sure why, just gives me a bad feeling. :cirnoShrug:

       @rad_tech > lack of deletesSo just like fedi, then.Revolver is about as good as the rest of fedi in that regard, maybe slightly better since a delete from one instance is a delete from every instance.> so basically the relays own the dataThere aren't any relays, really.  The way the slush works prevents data from propagating in a very straightforward way like that, but once data leaves your computer, you don't get to decide how many times it is copied and by who.  I'm cribbing from venti but have moved metadata around so the slush can exploit pigeonholing a little better.

       @boscallian Every node is a full participant, it requires no servers.  It's more like IPFS (early version of the prototype used IPFS's libp2p but that didn't pan out for various reasons, though it did propagate some posts around) than it is like "thin"/"thick" clients.  It's a gradient based on how many resources you toss at the network.

       > maybe slightly better since a delete from one instance is a delete from every instance.Exactly. Because you’re just sharing an IPFS address right? If the owner tombstones it, the IPFS address leads to nothing. Wait, so a user can’t choose who relays their data? it just gets flood gossiped to everyone by default? What is the point of follows at that point? There would be many many many people that I would not want to give access to my data lol

In my case I would rather not associate with it.

       @bot@kiwifarms.cc @p@freespeechextremist.com It's tough to know for sure, given only one person has the code right now. But I suspect the curation tools necessary to assist in preventing that will come from development and response to release. It won't be a perfect solution, just like they're not quite a perfect solution now. But mother is the innovation of necessity, or something along those lines.

       @p “No admins, no masters, no backups”Yet it’s AGPLv3, so at minimum you’re providing a stack for node installation that includes an complete current source set upload option (needs a governor on it to avoid DDoSing through that route).“Right now, the license is “nobody but me has the code”. Because it keeps the options flexible (I can always dual-license later), it is going to be AGPLv3.”And:“Contributing: […] As far as code goes, patches will be gratefully accepted.”Without a contributor’s agreement assigning you copyright, it’ll be stuck with AGPLv3 after you accept the first patch.

       @bot @p @sevvie if I understand the architecture right you have a proxy that collects all known posts then your client posts your client and "pins" it to use IPFS terminology. This isn't much different than what's already going on.When you see an image online its because you downloaded it, its in your cache so it will be deleted automatically but its still on your phone.At least with revolver it removes the middleman so you don't have to wait for a middleman to get rid of stuff you report. (I assume you have reported stuff before)

There's some cool tech and you're talking about politics instead of the cool shit, you're just focusing on the politics.  The disclaimer is just a personal statement by mycroftiv, it's not a project that has been subverted by the far left, it was just written by a hippie that taught himself C by reading the Plan 9 kernel.  He's a fascinating guy.

       @p @sevvie on a different note, how does the IPFS integration work? Posts use CID but do accounts? If they do that's ripe for abuse

       @boscallian IPFS is an extra storage backend that helpfully also allows a side-channel for federating.  I think it'll be nice to have but it's not the primary data store.

       @bwk @sevvie Accounts are content-addressed, everything is, and if I understand what you mean about abuse, that's already dealt with by the design, that part can't be abused the way you're thinking.Think about how it would work if you were on a shared venti server:  http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/venti/ .

       @p I remember saying something just like this years ago and you yelling at me for using the term “scaling” and disagreeing profusely with my opinion that activityPub is hard to scale, which led to me leaving FSE and you posting a bunch of tranny porn on my site.  Glad you came around.  <  ScalingThe scaling issue should be obvious. Fedi has sort of a handshake problem: posts have to be fetched by every instance that intends to display them, and then there’s bookkeeping about what’s been delivered where (for deletion, which is unreliable anyway). That was the primary motivation for the initial architectural sketch I had for what I was calling “the object proxy” or “the object slush”: smaller instances can get flooded. So the initial idea that Revolver grew from was decentralizing object fetches by making a network of caching proxies, which could be done in a way that made it transparent to Pleroma: it would speed up the network and ease some of the bandwidth and downtime concerns. (Think of it like Pleroma’s media proxy but for posts. I wrote some code and tried running it but it made Revolver start to percolate.) Even larger instances with beefy hardware can get flooded sometimes.

       @p just pointing out an error: the bitcoin address you posted is a legacy bitcoin address, not segwit. Which means it is not a BCH address, it is a BTC one, as BCH only supports segwit.You should probably use a segwit address either way.

       @derek > I remember saying something just like this years ago and you yelling at me for using the term “scaling” and disagreeing profusely with my opinion that activityPub is hard to scaleI recall what you were saying at the time and it was an estimate of how many users and that matters less than post volume and follower count.  It's not an ActivityPub problem, which is why the object proxy hadn't planned to displace AP and this project speaks AP.  You were asking how many users a Pleroma server could handle, the handshake problem of distributing posts is a different problem.  For users, Pleroma scales horizontally, it's how fedi works.> and you posting a bunch of tranny porn on my siteI never had an account on your site.

       @p Well the topic was more about how activityPub makes it necessary for smaller instances to have more hardware than they would otherwise need.  In other words, the net hardware required to run 5,000,000 users on 1000,000 instances is much much more than running 5,000,000 users on a single instance thus making it harder for fediverse to “scale” and compete with big tech.  But that is beside the point, the funny part for me is that the word “scalability” was a giant trigger for you and you went off on me for using it and now you are using in your write-up.  Anyway, glad you finally understood my point and now agree with it ;)Looking forward to seeing your project.<  I never had an account on your site. Overly specific answer…Did you take part in any way posting porn on my site?

(I had used abbreviations in the following paragraph and decided to add the abbreviation to the previous one.)I don't think BCH does SegWit; I thought that was the point of BCH, to avoid off-chain verification.  If BCH is doing SegWit now, it's news to me.

       @derek > activityPub makes it necessary for smaller instances to have more hardware than they would otherwise need.I don't think that's accurate.  Like I said, it's not based on users, that's the wrong metric.  It's also architectural, not a protocol problem.  And the primary driver for Revolver is availability plus I don't think there should be admins, scaling nice to have.> the net hardware required to run 5,000,000 users on 1000,000 instances is much much more than running 5,000,000 users on a single instance thus making it harder for fediverse to “scale” and compete with big tech.There are currently 4.7m users on 7,520 instances and fedi is running fine.Like I said, it scales horizontally with users.  A user that logs in and looks at the site all day, every day consumes different resources than a user that logs in for 10 minutes once a year and follows one user on every server.  User count is the wrong metric, that's not how fedi scales.  This is why I objected to what you said, and it's because you're asking the wrong questions:  you've got your conclusion and you're trying to verify it, so you say things like "My guys say this won't scale because of $x" and maybe $x is wrong, maybe $x is correct but doesn't affect scaling concerns, maybe $x is a threshold we haven't hit, maybe you forgot to factor in $y or $z.The handshake problem's been obvious, but "This is an issue, this software solves that problem" is about a trade-off, not about whether fedi can kill Twitter, and the main issue holding back scale at present is a social issue:  not enough people are running instances.  Maybe 5, 10% of the effort of running an instance is technical.  Revolver is an attempt to convert the effort into a 100% technical problem that does not require instance admins.  (I expect that despite shooting for 100%, the best someone can do is 80%, but we'll see.)> Overly specific answer…Did you take part in any way posting porn on my site?I did not have an account on your site so I did not at any point upload porn to a machine you operate.  As far as anything off-site, unless it came from this account that I am using right now, I did not post it.  Work for you?Fuck's sake, you're bein' cranky and I don't want to argue with you at the expense of time spent hacking on Revolver.

       @graf @p @pasture @sjw Tucked me into a locker?  What are you talking about?  Faggot simp. He lied about not knowing who I am and then ran from the Fediverse like the psycho bitch that he is to avoid the discussion about his lies and gab hacks.  You are a fricken loser kid.  Simping cause you want to have users on a dumb instance.  Mom’s basement must be lonely.

       @BigDuck @graf @sjw @p @pasture  You were not even included in that thread so if you saw my post it’s b/c of one of your gay anime friends.Also, I’m just a man.  Not a genetic freak. Men have muscles and hairy bodies and grow taller than 5’2”.  You anime twinks are the genetic freaks.  You are something between man and woman and cat.  Not sure what the appropriate term is so I just label you all as faggots.  Hope you don’t mind.Stop being little anime faggots and maybe your dads won’t hate you any more.  At least God won’t and that’s what really matters.  Also, look into TR. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.  Your generation was exposed to a lot of toxic chemicals from an early age.  Hope it works out for you.

       @p >Admins on fedi disturb the balance to some extent, and Revolver should act as a great equalizer: people running a server should be free to post like regular people, and people using someone else's server shouldn't be beholden to the admins. this has been my biggest issue with the format of fedi, kind of the biggest blindspot from the twitter/gab refugees that are thrilled about it. excited to see how this pans out.

       @p it is unclear in this writing how exactly revolver stops drama between persons. i can still deactivate revolver users from interacting with everyone from my node, yes? this seems to be the largest issue. admins of large nodes keeping you from interacting with their users for city/petty reasons. at least fediblock has a some principles by which they do it and try it's best to document it publicly.

       @colonelj > it is unclear in this writing how exactly revolver stops drama between persons. i can still deactivate revolver users from interacting with everyone from my node, yes? this seems to be the largest issue.As I said in the post, it's not going to solve drama for as long as there are people using the network, but it should alleviate a lot of instance drama.  You should know, because you have heard this complaint from me quite a few times, that there is endless "Why did you ban this guy?" and "Why *didn't* you ban this guy?" drama.  I catch shit from people because of stuff people post on FSE.  People that I know and have worked with IRL catch shit for knowing a guy that has a website on which other people have posted something that the shit-tosser doesn't like.  That's not an exaggeration:  sunbeam.city got cancelled by lefty-Mastodon and almost shut down permanently ( https://archive.ph/J5e16 ) because they nominated a friend of mine as a mod, and that's already five degrees of separation from "some guy with an anime avatar said a gamer word".  (The guy tossed in "calling for my death", which did not appear anywhere in the thread but magically turns him into a victim, which their rumor mill turned into "death threats" and eventually "p made death threats" on some dick's blog.)I would like to not have that to deal with, or people on my ass about refusing to ban Jojo, or people on my ass about banning anyone I have banned.  I'm careful when I do admin shit but I don't think anyone should be doing admin shit and I am making Revolver so that I don't catch shit for decisions I didn't want to have to make, and if it works, I will have eliminated an entire class of drama.

       @colonelj I think I missed what you were saying.  (I was rushing before having some food.)Yeah, it might (might) be possible to block all of Revolver from any server on fedi.  But probably unwise; that's on the same level as blocking everyone that is on an instance where anyone used Husky.  (Don't laugh, it's been done.)

       @colonelj Were?  I mean, they're still scraping as far as I know, or at least they were when I heard of them.I don't know what they're really doing.  Scraping people's accounts and their posts, but I don't know what the plan was.  I think they shut down the website because they were attracting negative attention from unintended people (i.e., lefty-Masto).  It's almost certainly not for the reasons they listed.  The whole post reeks of retcon but I mentioned that in the earlier post.

       @p @boscallian I'm still not sure how this would work with conventional instances that only fetch via https? You would still need some kind of exit/entry node servers to act as a bridge to relay messages outside of the decentralized network, right?

       @icscarythings @boscallian Okay, so, it is deliberately cryptic and vague, because the code isn't written.  Like I've been saying for a years, I would not like to promise anything past what I'm certain is possible and plausible to do.  So I've got to be cryptic about a lot of the details because I know what I plan to do, some of it will work, some will not and I'll have to revise.  Of the things that might not work the way I want them to but I have said will work, all of them have a Plan B that will definitely work, and it is a certainty here that at least some of the features will have to be implemented with their Plan B for one reason or another.  I really don't want to do too much explaining about something that might or might not work out the way I say it will work, so I have given as many details as I can.At any rate, this is one of the obvious ones:  yes, instances fetch via HTTPS, but /inbox takes the objects, which are accepted if the signature works out.Here's something interesting, from Google of all places (Google and Microsoft and Facebook and all these shitty places I hate, they all still have respectable R&D):  they actually use fancy routing as their first-line load-balancer.  In a decentralized system, I'm not obviously not going to be in control of any routers, but I'm sure you can, if I tell you I'm thinking along parallel lines (that is, not the routing table but ActivityPub extends way up from the routing level), figure out my Plan A and Plan B.  Two-way federation will work or I wouldn't be doing this, it will work before FSE turns into a Revolver node, that's as much as I'll be specific about.The Senate is, as we speak, having a surprise vote in the middle of the night to shove through some bullshit tightening of the FOSTA/SESTA noose, EU-level records-keeping requirements and "Facebook is core to our national security", in addition to the other things that made this somewhat urgent.  Unwinding the stack too much is going to fuck me to begin with, even if it didn't take time which was why the original plan was to say nothing but cryptic nonsense until it's shipped.  I really don't want to answer too many questions about the details, the code will be details.maglev--google_load_balancer.pdf
