Jupiter Rowland@<a href="https://m.ocsf.in/@think" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kellam⚙️Бур</a> This may come as a surprise, but: <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/Nomadic_identity" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nomadic identity</a> is not an abstract concept or a science-fiction idea for the Fediverse.<br><br>It is reality. It exists. Right now. In stable, daily-driver software that's federated with Mastodon. And it has been for over a decade.<br><br>I'm literally replying to you here from a nomadic channel that simultaneously exists on two servers.<br><br>Nomadic identity was invented by @<a class="" href="https://fediversity.site/channel/mikedev" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mike Macgirvin 🖥️</a> (formerly American software developer of about half a century who has been living in rural Australia for decades now) in 2011 and first implemented in 2012. Almost four years before Mastodon was first launched.<br><br>In 2010, he had invented the Facebook alternative <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/Friendica" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friendica</a>, originally named Mistpark and based on his own DFRN protocol.<br><br>Over the months, he witnessed lots of privately operated public Friendica nodes shut down with or without an announcement and the users on these nodes lose everything. He added the possibility to export and import Friendica accounts. But that would only help if a permanent shutdown was announced. It did not protect you against shutdowns out of the blue.<br><br>There was only one solution to this problem. And that was for someone's identity to not be bound to one server, but to exist on multiple servers simultaneously. The whole thing with everything that's attached to it. Name, settings, connections, posts, files in the file storage etc. etc., everything.<br><br>So in 2011, Mike designed a whole new protocol named Zot around this brand-new idea of what he called "nomadic identity" back then already.<br><br>In 2012, Mike forked Friendica into something called Red, later the Red Matrix, and rebuilt the whole thing from the ground up against Zot. Red was the first nomadic social networking software in the world, almost four years before Mastodon.<br><br>In 2015, ten months before Mastodon was first released, the Red Matrix became <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hubzilla" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hubzilla</a>, the Fediverse's ultimate Swiss army knife.<br><br>I am on Hubzilla myself. <a href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/channel/jupiter_rowland" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">This channel of mine</a> is constantly being mirrored between its main instance on <a href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu</a> and its clone on <a href="https://hub.hubzilla.de" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hub.hubzilla.de</a>. Anything that happens on the main instance is backed up on the clone. I can also log into the clone and use that, and whatever happens there is backed up on the main instance.<br><br><a href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu</a> could go down, temporarily, permanently, doesn't matter; I still have my channel, namely the clone. And I can declare the clone my new main instance.<br><br>Well, Mike didn't stop at Hubzilla and its original version of the Zot protocol. He wanted to refine it and advance it, but in ways that wouldn't be possible on daily-driver software.<br><br>Zot went through several upgrades: Zot6 in 2018 (backported to Hubzilla in 2020, along with OpenWebAuth magic single sign-on). Zot8 in 2020. Zot11 in 2021 which had become incompatible with Zot6 and therefore was renamed to Nomad. Today's Nomad would be Zot12.<br><br>Also, in order to advance and test Zot, Mike created a whole bunch of forks and forks of forks. Osada and Zap for Zot6 in 2018, followed by another short-lived Osada in 2019. A third Osada, Mistpark 2020 (a.k.a. Misty) and Redmatrix 2020 in 2020 for Zot8. Roadhouse for <del>Zot11</del> Nomad in 2021. All Osadas, Zap, Misty, Redmatrix 2020 and Roadhouse were discontinued on New Year's Eve of 2022.<br><br>The most recent software based on Nomad is from October, 2021. It can be found in <a href="https://codeberg.org/streams/streams" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the streams repository</a>. It is officially and intentionally nameless and brandless, it has next to nodeinfo code that could submit statistics, and it is intentionally released into the public domain. The community named it <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/(streams)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">(streams)</a> after the code repository.<br><br>I also have two (streams) channels, one of which is cloned so far.<br><br>The newest thing, and that's what the Friendica and Hubzilla veteran @<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/channel/ts-new" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tim Schlotfeldt ⚓?️‍?</a> referred to, is nomadic identity using nothing but ActivityPub, no longer relying on a special protocol.<br><br>This was not Mike Macgirvin's idea. This came from @<a href="https://mitra.social/users/silverpill" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">silverpill</a>, the creator and developer of the microblogging server application <a href="https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mitra</a>. He wanted to make Mitra nomadic, make it resilient against server shutdown. But he didn't want to port it to Nomad. He wanted to achieve it with nothing but ActivityPub.<br><br>So he hit up Mike. The two came to the conclusion: This is actually possible. And they began to work on it. Amongst the results were several FEPs coined by silverpill.<br><br>This time, Mike did not create another fork to develop nomadic identity via ActivityPub. He did it all on the <em>nomadic</em> branch of the streams repository while silverpill did his part on a special development branch of Mitra.<br><br>In mid-2024, after enough sparring between (streams) instances, between Mitra instances and between (streams) and Mitra, Mike was confident enough that his implementation of support of nomadic identity via ActivityPub was stable enough. He merged the <em>nomadic</em> branch into the <em>dev</em> branch which ended up being merged into the stable <em>release</em> branch in summer.<br><br>Now, at this point, (streams) didn't use ActivityPub for nomadic identity. It still used the Nomad protocol for everything first and foremost, including cloning. But it understood nomadic identity via ActivityPub as implemented on experimental Mitra.<br><br>However, while it worked under lab conditions, it blew up under real-life conditions. At this point, (streams) had to handle so many different identities that it confused them, and it couldn't federate with <em>anything</em> yet.<br><br>In mid-August, while trying to fix the problem, Mike eventually forked the streams repository into <a href="https://codeberg.org/fortified/forte" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Forte</a>. It got a name again, it got a brand identity again, it got its nodeinfo back, it was put under the MIT license again.<br><br>But most importantly: Any and all support for Nomad was ripped out, also to get rid of a whole number of IDs, namely those for Nomad-actually-Zot12 and for Hubzilla's Nomad-actually-Zot6. Forte only uses ActivityPub for everything. And so, Forte also had to fully rely on ActivityPub for nomadic identity, cloning and syncing.<br><br>For almost seven months, Forte was considered experimental and unstable. For most of the time, the only existing servers were Mike's.<br><br>But on March 12th, 2025, <a href="https://fediversity.site/item/b69ce5a0-0c22-4933-8393-dce7100f4584" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mike Macgirvin released Forte 25.3.12</a>, the first official stable release of Forte. This is what Tim wrote about. Because this actually made it into Fediverse-wide news.<br><br>Not because it's nomadic. Nomadic identity has been daily-driven for over a decade now.<br><br>But because it uses ActivityPub for nomadic identity. Which means that you can theoretically make any kinds of Fediverse software nomadic now, all without porting it to the Nomad protocol first.<br><br>For the future, Mike and silverpill envision a Fediverse in which one can clone between different server applications. A Fediverse in which one can have one and the same identity cloned across multiple servers of Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Mitra, Forte, Mobilizon, Lemmy, BookWyrm etc., all with the same name, all with the same content and settings (as far as the software allows; you will certainly not be able to clone your PeerTube videos to Mastodon and Lemmy).<br><br>Even if you don't intend to clone, it will make moving instances and even moving from one software to another <em>dramatically</em> easier.<br><br>If you're concerned about your privacy, let me tell you this:<br><br>Hubzilla's privacy, security and permissions system is unparalleled in the Fediverse. Except for that on (streams) and Forte which is another notch better.<br><br>I can define who can see my profile (my default, public profile on Hubzilla where each channel can have multiple profiles).<br>I can define who can see my stream and my posts when looking at my channel.<br>I can define who can see my connections (Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte don't distinguish between follower and followed; they aren't Twitter clones).<br>I can define who can look into my file space (individual permission settings per folder and per file notwithstanding).<br>I can define who can see my webpages on Hubzilla (if I have any).<br>I can define who can see my wikis on Hubzilla (<a href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/wiki/jupiter_rowland" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">no shit, I've got wikis on my Hubzilla channel</a>).<br><br>On Hubzilla, I can define <em>individually</em> for any of these whether it's<br><ul><li>everyone on the Internet</li><li>everyone with a recognisable Fediverse account</li><li>everyone on Hubzilla (maybe also on (streams); anyone using ActivityPub is definitely excluded here)</li><li>everyone on the same server as myself (AFAIK, only main instances of channels count here, clones don't)</li><li>unapproved (= followers) as well as approved (= mutual) connections</li><li>confirmed connections</li><li>those of my confirmed connections whom I explicitly grant that permission by contact role</li><li>only myself</li></ul><br><a href="https://help.hubzilla.hu/en/usermanual/permissions_channel_roles.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">There's a whole bunch more permissions than these</a>. And they all have seven or eight permission levels (depending on whether the general non-Fediverse public can be given permission).<br><br>On (streams) and Forte, I can define whether things are allowed for<br><ul><li>everyone on the Internet (where applicable)</li><li>everyone with a recognisable Fediverse account</li><li>all my approved connections</li><li>only me myself plus those whom I explicitly grant that permission in the connection settings</li></ul><br>Yes, connection settings. Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte give you various ways of configuring individual connections, much unlike Mastodon. This includes what any individual connection is allowed to do.<br><br>Hubzilla uses so-called "contact roles" for that, presets with a whopping 17 permissions to grant or deny for any one individual connection. That is, what the channel generally allows, a contact role can't forbid.<br><br>(streams) and Forte still have 15 permissions per contact, but they lack some features which Hubzilla has permissions for. These permissions can be set individually for each connection, or you can define permission roles that cover all 15 permissions to make things easier.<br><br>Okay, how about posting in public vs in private? And when I say "private", I <em>mean</em> "private". It's "private messages" on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, not "direct messages".<br><br>Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte let you post<br><ul><li>in public</li><li>only to yourself</li><li>only to your connections ((streams) and Forte only; Hubzilla requires a privacy group with all your connections in it for this)</li><li>to all members of one specific privacy group (Hubzilla)/access list ((streams), Forte); that's like being able to only post to those on one specific list on Mastodon</li><li>to everyone to whom one specific non-default profile is assigned (Hubzilla only)</li><li>to a specific group/forum (I'll get back to that later)</li><li>to a custom one-by-one selection of connections of yours</li></ul><br>Now, let's assume I have a privacy group with Alice, Bob and Carol in it. I send a new post to only this privacy group. This means:<br><ul><li>Only Alice, Bob and Carol can see the post and the conversation.</li><li>Alice can reply to me, Bob and Carol.</li><li>Bob can reply to me, Alice and Carol.</li><li>Carol can reply to me, Alice and Bob.</li><li>Nobody else can see the post. Not even by searching for it. Not by hashtag either. Not at all.</li><li>Nobody else can see any of the comments.</li><li>Nobody else can comment.</li></ul><br>If one of them was on Mastodon, they'd see my post as a DM, by the way, and they could only reply to me. But that's Mastodon's limitation because it understands neither threaded conversations nor permissions.<br><br>Or how about reply control? This is something that many Mastodon users have been craving for quite a while now. Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte have them. Right now. And they work. They have since 2012.<br><br>Hubzilla optionally lets me disallow comments on either of my posts. Users on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte won't even be able to comment; they won't have the UI elements to do so. Everyone else is able to comment locally. But that comment will never end up on my channel. It will never officially be added to the conversation. And at least users on Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte will never fetch that comment from my channel as part of the conversation, i.e. never at all.<br><br>(streams) and Forte can go even further with all available options. They can disallow comments like Hubzilla. But in addition, they can allow only the members of one particular access list to comment, regardless of who can see the post/the conversation. On top of that, comments can be closed at a pre-defined point in the future. And then you even have a channel-wide setting for how long people can comment on your posts.<br><br>Oh, and there's even a setting for who is generally permitted to comment on your posts. And you can additionally allow specific connections of yours to comment on your posts.<br><br>Lastly, I've already mentioned groups/forums. Like, you know, Web forums or Facebook groups or subreddits or whatever. Like Guppe Groups on a mountain of coke and with moderation and permission control and optionally private.<br><br>Hubzilla has them, and it has inherited them from Friendica. (streams) has them. Forte has them. They're basically channels like social networking channels, but with some extra features. This includes that everything that's send to a group/forum as what amounts to a PM is automatically forwarded to all other members.<br><br>On Hubzilla, a forum can be gradually made private by denying permission to see certain elements to everyone but its own members (= connections): the profile, the members, what's going on in it.

Take A Bow<p>re- <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a><span> <br><br>I've been around the Fediverse for at least 7 years. I've left logins all over the place, which mostly now just follow this account. I settled on Sharkey for its features. And besides, how could software from a trans group be bad, eh?<br><br>I'm a very old techie. When I was a kid, we had to program the bootstrap code in binary by using switches on the front panel. Uphill, both ways. My favorite language was Pascal. It was so fucking safe and deterministic, you had to work really hard to create a bug.<br><br>Professionally, I was originally a biomedical engineer, then a marketing manager for a well-known, racist, and anti-Semitic company in Texas, then freelanced until I retired a few years ago. I've a few patents, including a software patent with probably the most claims of any software patent ever. Because I wrote it myself, and I was fucking with them because patents and copyrights have really lost sight of their original intention.<br><br>Unprofessionally, I was an actor and performance artist, poet, photographer, and a man of ridiculously poor life choices with gusto. How else do you learn anything?<br><br>What I post is usually photos, sometimes quotes, and maybe film reviews. Also, our blog if we ever get back to doing that. Currently, we're in Canada, and there's at least a 50-50 chance I'll be asking for perm residence.
