I know a lot of folks who follow me are interested in the Website League project (https://websiteleague.org) - if that's you, and you're a Go developer, we could use another dev or two to help out with our work on adapting GoToSocial to our purposes, and working out federation kinks. (Elixir devs would also help with Akkoma!)

If you like our project, and you want to help out or ask questions, you can join our Discord (https://discord.gg/kKFpN8xpyK) or our development chat (https://coordination.websiteleague.org).

quick summary: we are a group of folks, mostly from Cohost, building a federated island network (allowlist only), separate from the Fediverse. AFAICT, our project's the first large-scale attempt at this. Governance is by consensus, which is working pretty well.

Right now we've got forks of Akkoma and GTS, and devs working on a Cohost-like frontend and a central management system for things like allowlists. Our goal is to bring Cohost's positive characteristics to a federated environment.

@atomicthumbs when you say "separate from the Fediverse", does it mean the plan is not to have the League communicate/connect with it? meaning, if i'm there, i can't interact with people here and vice versa?

@houseofxyz Correct, with very limited exceptions: specific instances could choose to federate with both, as long as the software is configured correctly so as not to leak content from one to the other, and every user on the instance is aware that they'd be existing in the intersection between two cultures.

@houseofxyz The intent is to allow a more relaxed posting environment, where people used to Cohost can post as they did without worrying about breaking Mastodon social mores (e.g. the Fediverse's much more liberal CW practices), and without Fediverse conflicts embroiling the League.
