Thanks! Right now calls are between Normals accounts only. There's no standard for calls in ActivityPub yet, it covers posts, follows and replies, not real-time audio or video, at least not yet. So there's nothing we could federate a call over yet :(, and as far as I know Mastodon, Lemmy and the rest don't have calls either.

Federated calling does exist on other networks (Matrix, and XMPP with Jingle), but not in the ActivityPub Fediverse. If a standard shows up, we'd love to look at it, as long as calls stay e2e encrypted.

    A few weeks ago, we mentioned implementing messaging in Normals. Currently, only one-on-one calls are possible, but we've managed to get it working while maintaining privacy, the rules, and the philosophy. If it's well-received by the community, we might consider expanding the chat to group chats, but this is still a costly architectural decision that we would need to cover. However, we hope you find it useful. As Team Lead for https://normals.me, I'm available to answer any questions related to this, both functional and architectural.

    The basic description, security and architecture information is in the announcements thread on Mastodon and Normals.

    That happens with all AI tools! That's why many people hate vibecoding apps. A developer that uses AI must strictly know about all these things.

    That's because they do not know how to use AI correctly, it is always the case. Remember when people didn't know how to search in google. It looks to me the same thing. They pretend to ChatGPT do this work for me and the management thinks ohh amazing job John Doe!!! Here is a raise!!! 🙄

    Hey! This is coming from normals.me, the forum that mirrors this community. Quick thing for the people here who make games, especially browser and small indie stuff.

    Normals has a section called Showcase, https://normals.me/showcase, where you post your own project and that's allowed by design. Your post gets a "own product" label, there's one promo per product per community with a cooldown you see up front, and that's it. No guessing whether a mod will nuke it, no pretending to be a random fan. Say it's yours, link it, get feedback.

    Why I'm posting it here, last week someone posted about a small card game in this community and got called a bot for three comments before people realized he was just a fan. That whole mess happens because most places have no honest way to say "I made this" or "I like this". Showcase is that way. You can reply to Showcase posts from your own instance too, it all federates.

    He means Mutants Genesis (Bandai's mobile CCG), Phantom's been posting about it here for a few days. Phantom, worth editing the title to "Mutants Genesis, Latam players are angry" and naming the game in the first line, most people on Lemmy only see this one post.

    You may want to search for software development good practices and security. Just create it simply with AI might potentially have a lot of security breaches and code that can be replaced for better performance. It is not a good idea leave all the work to a robot.

    I've been thinking about how Sony, and others, are no longer planning to sell physical games, but fuck! What's next? Next thing you know, they'll be charging a subscription fee for using the software. I hope they don't hear me say that, lest I give them the idea. https://blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/physical-disc-production-ending-in-january-2028-for-new-games-releasing-on-playstation-consoles/

    I'm in the same position, I mean, I worked really hard to get MVP done, and I'm just a full stack developer, with 15 years of experience in the industry, and they say it's vibecoded because the UI looks well done haha. That's amazing, but in certain way I see it funny to be honest. It feels more like people those haters tried, failed and they have nothing better but attack XD.

    I told one of them, ok, try to create one and see how it goes. An AI cannot do what it has been done here that's why it is so ridiculous when they say it is vibecoded.

    Tailwind it’s a utility first framework with no pre built components, I think you are the one that does not know what are you saying, you build whatever you want and can fully customize the theme that’s literally the point of it, and it’s in the official docs.

    On the AI and closed source speculation, the auth, signatures, permissions, input handling is standard and went through an OWASP review before launch I said it before. I said I used AI for unit tests, integration tests, performance work, and even to attack my own app. I did not say I let it write the product. After 15+ years writing software, most of us already know AI still ignores SOLID, duplicates existing functions, and introduces security issues if you hand it the whole job. But you’re free to dislike the design or the decision to keep the anti-abuse parts private. The transparency page is public if you want the actual policies and review status instead of the theory.

    Again, if you don't like the UI or think this is all robots, you can always join X, Reddit, or any other platform that steals your data and helps big corporations, or you can develop your own and invite me, but for that you need to be developer first. I thought people were different in the Fediverse.

    This post is written on https://normals.me and delivered to !fediverse@lemmy.world over #ActivityPub, so if you are reading it the basic plumbing works. Now let me explain what is this.

    Normals is a forum with communities, threads, and questions with an accepted answer. It is a single instance, not software you can host, and the core is closed for anti-abuse reasons. The federation module will be published separately with implementation notes (FEP-67ff).

    What federates today Every community is a Group actor following the Lemmy model (FEP-1b12). Follow @selfhosted@normals.me or any other community from Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin or Mastodon.

    Posts and comments go both ways. Replies from your instance appear in the thread on Normals, replies from Normals go back to the origin.

    Remote content is labelled with its origin, links back to it, and is never copied. Media loads from the source.

    Signed fetches, so it works with instances that require authorized fetch. NodeInfo 2.1 is up.

    Policies, in case they matter to you, it has no ads, and no paid reach, and of course no AI training on posts. AI crawlers blocked by default, public mod log with reasons, and no automated removals. Numbers at https://normals.me/transparency so please take a look.

    If something from your instance shows up wrong here, or something from here shows up wrong on yours, reply with the URL and I'll fix it. Andy Piper mentioned NodeBB uses the same group model, if anyone runs a NodeBB instance I'd like to test against it, if possible.

    I hope we all have fun. Cheers!
