The cat is out of the bag. Mike Macgirvin's family of Fediverse server applications has a new member: [b]Forte[/b] which he has forked off his own [url=https://codeberg.org/streams/streams]streams repository[/url] some three weeks ago.

The first announcement came in [url=https://fediversity.site/item/22abcd18-387b-4d38-9a67-1fee59197b23]a comment[/url] on a post about [url=https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Friendica%3F]Friendica[/url] with which everything had begun, just three days ago. The same day, the up-until-then still unannounced [url=https://codeberg.org/fortified/forte]Forte repository[/url] was discovered. Unlike what's in the streams repository, Forte seems to have a name again, and Mike refers to it as a "project".

(streams), as its predecessor is colloquially being referred to, is already one of the most advanced and innovative server applications in the Fediverse. It has the most elaborate set of permission controls as of yet, even surpassing [url=https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Hubzilla%3F]Hubzilla[/url], the younger one of its surviving ancestors. Also, Mike uses it to develop the implementation of [url=https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_nomadic_identity%3F]nomadic identity[/url], his own invention from as early as 2011, purely via ActivityPub, including [url=https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-ef61-portable-objects/3738]FEP-ef61[/url]. So (streams) itself is already a pioneering work, and its development is far from done.

And now we have Forte which promises to be even more advanced. There are no specs yet, much less any public instances. And even if it's the latest fork in 14 years of Fediverse development, I guess it's far from being ready for prime time. But seriously, it's a (streams) fork.
