Honestly, I have more sympathy for the perspective in that context. At least some portion of the situation that leads to organizing convos was actually just handed down from on high. It's not a mess that "we" made. So it's not surprising that it's hard to bring people around to the idea that we can do something about it, anyway.

@hrefna they're going to find the right way to protest if it kills us

@mattly for the record, I really do appreciate how big and valuable a gift it is that you're doing this work

@hrefna @JessTheUnstill It's about control either way. The nationality aspect is to answer questions of which laws apply to support or limit that control. But as a practical matter you can't have any control over data that you're distributing indiscriminately.

@hrefna I'm not even sure how you do social networking and data sovereignty. The entire value of that data is in how many other people receive it. Or at least have access to it.

@inthehands begging the question?

When a poll does it, we usually call that a push poll

@hrefna I get the impression that a *lot* of that is self soothing. But I do wish people could go self soothe in a way that doesn't distract and delay real responses.

@hrefna somewhere out there is a universe where mastodon just let the subject be a subject line, and it's probably a slightly nicer place

@hrefna
The biggest value of http signatures is that they're not forwardable. They also provide some forgery protection. And as long as we're relying on self-asserted credentials, it's no worse of an authn mechanism than anything else. But you're right they convey no authorization, and that's something I wish we had.

@hrefna Yes. Exactly this. I would personally suggest that the best target to aim for, in compatibility terms, is "possible to develop incrementally, and relatively easy to extend from existing AP logic"

@hrefna yes, that too. It's hard to keep it from devolving into administrative wonkery. But very worth doing

@hrefna I'm actually imagining putting focus on the disenfranchisement and structural obstacles. Not elections as usual, but further left.

If I could suggest tactical electoral priorities, it would be instituting ballot initiatives in states that lack them, universal mail in ballots in states that lack them, ending felony disenfranchisement, and universal ranked choice voting. More or less in that order.

@inthehands @mercedesallen
Revisiting this point about fault lines in the fascist camp: they seem to be in strong agreement that they're seeking a white christian supremacy. They're very much not in agreement about who counts as white or christian.

@hrefna how deep do I need to dig to find where he said this?

(assuming it's the usual guy who said this)

@hrefna it's honestly tragic how radical this sentiment has become

@hrefna *deep sigh*

@mattly hooray! We love to see it

@mattly I don't think it's rated yet. But the first one was rated T, and this seems very much the same
