Federating with a new domain means opening an untrusted door; doing so safely requires real-time insight, shared metadata, and reliable reputational signals that don’t rely on single points of failure.<br/><br/>We firmly believe that the future of the Social Web rests on consent-based federation, where server administrators and users retain explicit control over who they connect with, backed by actionable, transparent reputational data. IFTAS is working on reputation metrics/signals to help identify common markers when encountering a new domain. More to come, watch this space!<br/><br/>As the ecosystem matures, IFTAS remains committed to supporting sustainable moderation infrastructure, advancing shared signals, and empowering server operators with the tools needed to keep the Fediverse safe, resilient, and connected.<br/><br/>If you need assistance selecting the right tier or denylist for your server, reach out on network <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1y2r2mwt42zufw0dr9kmfz4sjdcan0f3azekpkpp2qlvf8x39cqsqx2kvzk" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>IFTAS</span> (<span class="italic">npub1y2r…kvzk</span>)</a></span> or email contact@iftas.org </blockquote> 2026-07-31T02:59:23Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs2d4vvgxx25jx4ccjnt62awr935pujvms60w42us49e4cf99yw3yqzypgwx29htckneh7xmkf4u6qgx2aklzuv4cw767kqfm5yvtggufuwk59zzd5 Had to go looking for more of Angine de Poitrine ...<br/><br/>Rick Beato&#39;s videos are always awesome.

I did get schooled long ago about 2nd &amp; third brewings of the same leaves, and different curings. neat!<br/><br/>OTOH, I don&#39;t buy wines that I, personally, must store for years before they are fit for consumption. I don&#39;t have the room, I drink occasionally and I like variety. So my tea stash tends to be ones I like this season/year. 2026-06-20T18:27:22Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsxcgkfjkryq0fw6rkvkp2f7fhxuy27asz9vpz77s25nk5ep5kn60szypgwx29htckneh7xmkf4u6qgx2aklzuv4cw767kqfm5yvtggufuwku774ct In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw768usdmt55gqesmdtqtqtkak7tdj7vh0x4tm74mxhman4a4dw2sz3948r'>nevent1q…948r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>remember to do the same with the kitchen spices before you die. 23 year old &#34;italian seasoning&#34; is just vague dementia memories of pizza, with dust and mildew. 2026-06-20T17:53:48Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs9ltclcqj49uucan8sdq8pf5djj7pl4mzgglvwjds4mtyk09cyvuczypgwx29htckneh7xmkf4u6qgx2aklzuv4cw767kqfm5yvtggufuwk7sxadk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqp2ge2qm8x2y7pgccllcw8yffrqy4twkzlg22ycm8fzgj4ywpycsw63jxg'>nevent1q…3jxg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yeah I hear he had some fun little role in a Netflix show too! <br/><br/>Banjoists are multidimensional, who knew? 😆 2026-05-20T17:15:53Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs02qsrvleata45mhg3hsfzk9vr5nd5yjxmlmekpnukjsgx7qd9ujczypgwx29htckneh7xmkf4u6qgx2aklzuv4cw767kqfm5yvtggufuwkgsk7dt Having followed <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub142g8wjn8hkfh7ghvaa4yakfuu2r8eseqga8fykxng0805cutvpnsmkkmy5" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Newsmast Foundation</span> (<span class="italic">npub142g…kmy5</span>)</a></span> ‘s evolution for a couple of years now, and just this week having got caught up to speed with how much <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1267ps6t8qqex3v8nmnl9rltl2ya8pzdnhkws9sx59z5szqn9g5asgjxxu5" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Qlub</span> (<span class="italic">npub1267…xxu5</span>)</a></span> is accomplishing with that model in Quebec, holy heck - everything I want to try to bring into the world is already here by the time I get started. <br/><br/>Just grabbed the Newsmast app, which is a great way to check out the fit of these bespoke, community-first packagings from your own instance.
