As long as we dance, we're good to go 😉
Spent the last week mostly on the backend of RSC to be able to better moderate, govern an instance.
Admins can now moderate own instance and also moderate how remote users from other RSC instances are ingested/displayed on/with the instances an admin federate with.
Later on we'll need roles so that an instance can have users with moderation capabilities, allowing an admin to share governance with members
The moment we federated even just with demo RSC instance, the lack of observability, control and moderation quickly became problematic
The whole point was to give admins a full view of all the feeds added by users with the capabilities to moderate if necessary.
I think the current backend controls + API admin capabilities will be enough to build on top without much friction
There is also a simplification of the backend code ongoing, we'll constantly face this kind of targeted refactoring because the project is very new and still finding its way.
Anyway, more news soon :)

Going to add this to road map
Sometimes it's just another word for important personal matters that do not advance one's career but are essential to attend or handle...
Obviously the real goal of this is to enable niche deployments for small/medium communities that want to exchange around a few topics. There is still a lot of things in development here..
not much real users here for now but for example one of the things that's coming soon is the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds per user, ability to follow other users, hence the result would be a Timeline of human to human interactions but also human interactions with content coming via RSS feeds (could be News or an RSS feed from a Bluesky or Mastodon user or hashtags or it could enable discussion around specific Podcasts on YouTube, it's pretty much up to anyone configuration need.
The idea is also to federate with other implementations such as https://rss.chat, this would allow cross instance threaded conversation over RSS feeds.
What do you like about it?
The idea was to enable participation with the least amount of friction. But guest users can't add feeds or follow other users (still in development)
Yes that's allowed.. But if you don't register (verified email account) your post will vanish after a while
Agreed with IndieAuth/Micropub to Allow external users to participate from their own site identity is a great next step!
Good night... Or good day ☀️✨
