Once again, for those who refuse to acknowledge consensus reality:
Nivenly is not supporting, does not control, never funded, and has no hand in TBS. It never has.
Unless he has joined since the last time this went around, which seems doubtful, Ro is not a member of Nivenly.
You can think what you like, but stop spreading misinformation.
Ro was funded for one (1) proposal called FSEP. That proposal has serious flaws that would need to be corrected before it moves forward, but beyond that it would also need _someone to run it_, and Ro has stepped back from it and no one at Nivenly has stepped up to take over that I am aware of.
Maybe my information is out of date, but it seems more likely that everyone is repeating the same false talking points from last time.
@hrefna - howdy, Nivenly board member here. Your summary is correct. FSEP was one engagement that has been over for some time.
And fwiw, we haven't done much as an org beyond keep Hachyderm running since the passing of Nova.
We have a couple of member votes upcoming for "new" projects, and we should be announcing that soon. We also have a small experiment planned to support people who are finding/fixing security vulnerabilities in Fediverse software. More on this soon, too.
and the first vote for @nivenly members is up -> https://hachyderm.io/@nivenly/112019849759608434.
we plan on announcing the "nivenly fedi security fund experiment" later this weekend. preview: pay finders/contributors who find/close high/critical bugs in fedi software. we did a mini proof of concept and sponsored @thisismissem to ship a fix for a critical 9.9 score vulnerability in pixelfed, and now we're ready to expand a bit. more soon!
@esk @nivenly details on that here: https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/112022457133862143
