1. You're commenting a blog post. People can sit back and interpret it as a 2024 state of the art of the current cryptographic infrastructure, so to say, to find out what's incomplete and where we should put more effort, e.g., what's preventing @delta from switching to a more modern cryptographic standard.

2. Be mindful of the use cases for which you're putting minorities at risk. This blog post was written by a cryptography engineer who knows how bug-prone implementing OpenPGP is. IMHO, a group chat using 5 different OpenPGP implementations on Yahoo mail servers shouldn't be treated as zero-access. Delta Chat may be a good WhatsApp replacement for family groups but advocating for this kind of decentralization against State-level threat models is plainly dangerous.

Having a sociology graduate explain this to you means that at least one of these two posts is incredibly bad.

@jwz @terri This is a network of child abuse survivors

@jwz @terri And by the way, no, this isn't called "having friends" because the web is meant as a circulation space, not as a conviviality space. It isn't the XMPP or the IRC protocol.

@hongminhee Super cool !!

@AnarchoNinaWrites authorized_fetch? (Yeah, ActivityPub isn't secure enough yet)

@me And there's this slight difference that even though Mastodon does optimize for engagement (it's called “biopower” btw), it doesn't prevent its users from clicking on external links as much as capitalistic “social” media do, so we tend to connect at least slightly more directly to their online shops, they can add external links to posts anyway without having them being hidden by the algorithm.

I'm going out on a limb and say that the difference here is that significantly more people in proportion can click on external links without fearing to waste their time.

@me Indeed, artists get the same support here with a tenth of their audience on Instagram because we choose the people we follow, we're responsible for this, so of course we're more committed as a support network – at least for artists, and maybe even more broadly.

@crowdagger@corneill.es @SolInfoNat@syndicat.solidaires.org Oh t'y seras ?

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo@activism.openworlds.info @dev_m@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social You are producing 3 of 4 centralized privacy-abusing #Cloudflare sites that you market as “#Privacy & safety built-in” while claiming to hold decentralization in high-esteem. You conceal from your users the fact that you’ve allowed Cloudflare see the traffic of your users surreptitiously.. and then you ask for donations? The only thing needed here is a bounty to be CF-free.
