   @mook "when something else comes along and shows actually you can do both timelines and groups at the same time" #friendica had literally been doing this since before mastodon even existed.

     I think there will come a day when mastodon is on it's way out like diaspora is now because it's so artificially limited ( tho even they have encrypted dm's lmao ) when something else comes along and shows actually you can do both timelines and groups at the same time, support other protocols like websub, while running on less resources etc. And think there are a lot of such projects being worked on currently.
     
     like it really seems like Mastodon gets paid by Meta to do nothing while feeding user data directly to zuckerberg, and so what they do in the updates is fuck with the css on the webUI and other pointless things to look like they're doing something, meanwhile there's so many basic problems they don't even address, like how much of the racist harassment shit that comes up be solved by simple regex filters, something that should be foundational to any moderation system.
     
     And they have this entire playbook for feature requests where they gaslight people into thinking it's not technically possible because it's not in the spec or some bullshit, until every other competitor has implemented the feature, and then they when they do it they say "we just wanted to do it right", like no you didn't want to do it, or really, you didn't want to pay someone to do it, because all their money goes into mastodon.social and advertising and C-suit salaries, like it took them years to implement edits lmao

     @nyx @mook pleroma and the other implementations haven't helped making this the activitypub network either, for whatever that sad pile of w3c pages is worth

     @mook oh yeah I'm well aware of this. many such cases of Mastodon dragging down the rest of the network

     @nyx@social.xenofem.me not to get all political but
     
     the encrypted DM thing is like, not hard to do, zot/nomad solves a lot of problems that could easily be adopted elsewhere, but they won't, a lot of stuff is just Mastodon don't want to do it and they are basically this corpo funded controlled opposition that sets the tone for the whole network, so if you want mastodon to do some shit you have to do it for them and explain to them how you did it like they're children ( they'll say it's impossible because of the spec etc. ) and spend years campaigning for them to adopt this feature, this is quotes or fetch all replies was adopted.

     @nyx@social.xenofem.me right on, can think of a lot of cases like private groups
     
     i'm just glad it's php because my shitty fedi instance i'm working on is in php, looks like i can just add it with composer and start fucking with it Our solution is to use Key Transparency, which involves publishing all public key enrollments and revocations to an append-only ledger based on Merkle trees. This allows for a verifiable, auditable log of all key-related events, providing a strong foundation for trust. https://github.com/fedi-e2ee/pkd-server-php ah so like a chain of cryptographic addresses and transaction blocks, where have i heard this before

     @mook I don't care about the reference implementation but the fact that progress is being made towards standardizing an infrastructure for distributing keys that is independent of an instance is huge for a lot of reasons besides encrypted DMs (which frankly is something I don't give a shit about because if you're talking about anything sensitive it should be done in a dedicated secure channel). what's most exciting about it for me though is that having a key exchange infrastructure on a network that people actually use will make possible a project I've been wanting to work on for a long time and not really made a serious attempt at because the lack of network effects on using cryptographic keys for digital identities instead of relying on email/password bullshit

     oh hell yes I was talking about this months ago wondering if it was ever gonna go anywhere
