polyphony + polyproto = A free and open source communications suite in the making. Federated, decentralized, delightful to use.

codeberg codeberg.org/polyphony

Proprietary chat services suck. The Polyphony project aims to change that by developing @polyproto, a federated identity and trusted message exchange protocol, as well chat software and -standards built on top of it. We are building sonata (a polyproto home server for identity federation), symfonia (a chat server implementing polyproto-chat), and a client to tie it all together. Our goal is a federated chat experience that feels at least as polished and easy to use as proprietary alternatives.

Apart from all this, Polyphony can be best described as a queer and indie software commons bringing radically cool, free, open source software, communications technology and -standards to a computer near you.

Through the MPL-2.0 license, we ensure that our software can be used by anyone, for any(-ish) purpose. The only major thing we ask is that improvements and changes to our software stay open source as well. Our software should benefit the public, not corporations.

Additionally, our Code of Conduct is a modified version of the Contributor Covenant, explicitly including otherkin and plural individuals and explicitly banning AI contributions.

Despite being a proof-of-concept release, writing qualitative code is important to me. A large reason for why development is taking a while is because throughout the project, I have set myself higher and better standards for what I find to be acceptable to push, as I have learned more about the language and software architecture overall. The home server implementation, as barebones as it might be, should have such a strong foundation to carry it throughout all the additional features that will land in it. Major, breaking rewrites should be minimized in the future. Time invested now is time saved later (to a point).

December 12th is the targeted date for a v0.1.0 release of sonata, our @polyproto core home server implementation.
Planned for this initial proof-of-concept version are all features required to federate identities and verify messages sent from other people on any home server. Functionality/features above that are not likely to be included.

Profile updated to match the updated version of our branding! ablobcatmusic

Old (left) vs. new (right) profile picture neocat_notice
The Polyphony logo. a dark, square background with rounded edges. on this background, there are four vertically stacked, purple lines. The lines each resemble a sine curve, although they are all shaped a little differently.
Same as the image before, but the purple gradient on the four wavey lines is a little more subtle, slightly fading into the background on the left edge. The waves are also a bit smaller against the dark background, which has an ever so slightly darker shade as well.

We updated our README.md with a new banner! blobcat
Banner image on a dark navy background. Top left shows a purple quadruple-line icon and white text 'Polyphony +' followed by a purple gear icon and 'polyproto'. Below is a bold white heading 'Transforming online communication' and an italic subtitle 'Federated and delightful to use chat software for everybody.' where 'everybody' is rendered in progress-pride flag colored letters. A no-entry style icon signaling 'No AI' sits in the bottom right corner.

repo-slopscore update! repo-slopscore now shows you when the AI detection signals were authored in the repository. blobcateyes This piece of information is a first step in making it easier to see whether a repository has revised their AI/LLM policy, i.e. whether the AI commits are already long in the past.

On repos that have already been scanned, you can simply click the "Re-scan this repository" button to fetch this information for any repository. blobcat
Screenshot of a web page showing a scan result for AI activity in the GitHub repository github.com/oven-sh/bun/. The page has a light green background. The repo scored 0 (F) on the scan, analyzed on Mon, 4 May 2026 at 17:06:30 UTC, with 1259 total evidence items. Below, a section labeled "commit signals (1253)" shows two flagged entries: AiGenerationPhrase and AiCoAuthor, both tied to commit 8f2519f757e744d8ed1f80194104ccfa7809e492 authored 2 weeks ago (Sat, 18 Apr 2026). The AiGenerationPhrase match shows the text "Generated with [Claude Code]" and the AiCoAuthor match shows "Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>".

`repo-slopscan` update; fighting ai code (+) @lumi Each detected signal is assigned a signal type (for AI authorship, AI co-authorship, etc.), which in turn is assigned penalty weight value. For each occurrence of a signal, that penalty is deducted from the perfect (100) score. This gets repeated for the entire commit history, or up to 5000 commits.

`repo-slopscan` update; fighting ai code (+) repo-slopscan has been updated with a more accurate detections database! More agents get detected and the (by far) most common false-positive has been eliminated.

Repositories scanned with outdated detections will display a message and button like seen in the attached image, prompting you to re-scan this repository for more accurate results ablobcatwobwork
Screenshot. Text: The results on this page are outdated. The AI detection token definition files have been updated! Re-scan this repository for more accurate results. Button with text: Re-scan this repository

re: Fighting AI/LLM slop-assisted/generated code (+) @swirly Yes; tools like these will never be 100% accurate. I am currently not sure how I'd approach analyzing the contents of a CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md file to determine whether it is meant to attract or deter LLMs. But the existence of such a file is, in my opinion, a potential indicator for AI activity. As such, it gets reported; but if there aren't any other signals, you'll still have an A+ rating
