So, this appears to be a third party site that aggregates information from multiple instances via public API and then allows full text searching on them. To be implemented in a way that doesn't allow defederation, yet claims to respect blocking.

Technical details are still vague

Pinetta is still in development, but it seems like such a perfect fit for a federated social network that I'm amazed it doesn't already exist!

The projects mastodon account is @pinetta@fosstodon.org.

This might be a bit old now, as it start up a few weeks ago, but it's an alternative to gup.pe groups, with the key difference that it allows an admin to manage to group membership. Could be worth talking to the dev for an interview

It appears I’ll have the opportunity to ask some question of Suji Yan, the CEO who now controls approximately 1/8th of the fediverse and who’s recently aquired instance is known for objectionable content.

If you’ve got a question you think I should include, please add it here!

Aus.social is banning cops from the instance. Interesting potential for an article, not so much from the point of aus.social specifically, but more widely in regards to cops on the fediverse, given the recent raspberry pi incident.
