you may want to check this out: Starling, a lightweight ActivityPub server in pure PHP for shared hosting.

2026-04-01 18:47:04 GMT

A full fediverse instance running on a simple shared host, in pure PHP, with no external dependencies. That is the idea behind Starling:

I’m using an instance I created myself, developed in pure PHP on a shared host.
Pros:
- It allows you to gain a deep understanding of how the #Fediverse works and just how fascinating this concept is.
- Complete sovereignty and control over your identity and data.
- No issues with moderators.
Cons:
- Because it is a personal and very small instance, synchronization with the entire Fediverse is imperfect and partial, meaning there is “thread fragmentation”.

It’s still a work in progress… but it’s been working well for me so far. My goals for now are simply to learn and understand as much as possible about #ActivityPub, #Mastodon API, etc., while maintaining sovereignty over my identity and data. Maybe in the future I’ll make this open source. I don’t even have a name for it yet. It’s just a hobby… 🙂

It’s a piece of software I’m developing in my spare time as a hobby. It’s just pure PHP with SQLite running on a simple shared hosting server. Everything is up and running: #ActivityPub, the #Mastodon API, which allows it to work properly with clients like @npub1lyn…ve6v . The only thing missing is polls. When I have more free time, I’ll focus on that…

The right and far-right in Portugal are rejecting #science in order to attack #transgender people. These fundamentalists have approved a bill that treats #trans identity as a disease, contrary to the evidence of the Portuguese Medical Association, the Portuguese Psychological Association, dozens of health experts, and the position of the WHO. Today is a sad day for democracy and human rights in Portugal!

O que precisa de mudar nas redes sociais? Seria bom que:
- todas adotem o protocolo activitypub;
- todas tenham o código aberto (pelo menos para se compreender como funciona o algoritmo das timelines);
- todas tenham a possibilidade de timelines cronológicas (isso deveria estar por predefinição);
- todas deixem de utilizar o scroll infinito;
- todas deixem de recolher dados pessoais.
Além disso, seria bom que o estado português fizesse um esforço por:
- Reduzir o poder de empresas como a Meta ou X;
- Apoiar redes descentralizadas baseadas em ActivityPub;
- Apoiar a criação de instâncias próprias no fediverso para os organismos do Estado e para as instituições públicas em geral (como universidades, escolas, etc).
Acho que o caminho será por aqui...

But do you think banning it will solve the problem? I don’t think that’s the best approach. AI is inevitable. The key is to educate people on how to use AI ethically and responsibly.

The point, for me, is that we cannot leave the issue of #ethics aside. As a tool, #LLMs seem neutral in themselves, just as a knife is neutral in itself. It depends a lot on how we use these LLMs or other instruments. Now, in such a capitalist world, it is sometimes difficult to draw attention to #ethics.
