@gargron wants to replace the current scope limited #Mastodon fake direct messages with real DMs, E2E encrypted using OLM (an implementation of Signal’s encryption). Good. People have sent personally identifying information and financial data across fake DMs, not aware that others could accidentally see the contents.
Bad: Scope limited posts are going away entirely. SLPs / SLMs are useful. They are just regular messages, but sent only to the @mentioned users. That could be the foundation for something like #Diaspora’s Aspects. If there’s no pretense that they are private, and they are treated and displayed like other posts, they are good.
The issue has always been the name. Pretending SLMs are DMs means people send each other private information. I don’t believe any instance admins would intentionally read them or misuse information in such posts, but having that information in your database could be bad news when “John Q Cracker” breaks into the server.
♲ @lioh@mastodon.social: During that time I have met a lot of nice new people, also in real life. Some of them are still here, some are gone or I don't find them anymore after so many instance breakdowns, especially in the #gnusocial world. Luckily the #Fediverse is still growing and new ppl arrive while others leave again. I am glad to be a part of this network. #Mastodon #Fediverse12 #HappyFedi2U If you are interested in #FreeSoftware #GNULinux feel free to follow. I usually follow back.
Sí, me ha llegado la notificación de que me sigues. :)
Genial, así tenemos más contacto y cuando pase todo esto hablamos "de pollos y huertos " :)
Hablando de #huertos y esas cosas, yo lo tengo delegado en @cayentana por si quieres seguir esa cuenta también.
Y sobre #Mastodon, el #Fediverso y esas cosas, pide #ayuda y sobre todo haz una presentación con tus preferencias o inquietudes y pon la etiqueta #amadrinaje y enseguida te echan/echamos una mano con lo que sea.
Yo no estoy en Mastodon, sino en otra red que se llama !gnusocial pero de temas generales puedes preguntar lo que quieras.
@sl #Mastodon version 3.x and later (and #Pleroma version 2.x and later) does not use #OStatus as a federation protocol, so they broke federation with #GNUSocial. There's a little more work to do before the release of GS v.2.0, which adds #ActivityPub support.
@licho #Mastodon 3.x and #Pleroma 2x no longer speak the #OStatus federation protocol. !GNUsocial 2.0 will add the #ActivityPub federation protocol, so ask your admin to be ready to upgrade soon.
Huzzah! This will be my GNU Social account, which I will use to follow @lnxw48a1 and explore this side of the #Fediverse (since #Pleroma and #Mastodon are weirdly disconnected from #GNUSocial). I've been at @bthall@bikeshed.party (#Pleroma) for a while, but I look forward to using this account, too.
@bamfic you could try asking at socialhub.activitypub.rocks ? All fediverse #S2C implementations I'm aware of (including #Pleroma AFAIK) follow the #Mastodon API, not the AP S2C spec.
A #mastodon exclusive! You are invited to play on a *REAL* PDP-8/e running the TSS/8 monitor (TimeSharing System 8) pictured here. There is a user contributed tutorial here:
If you are unable to connect that means all 6 (yes, just 6) lines are in use. Remember, this is real hardware and there is NO EMULATION happening. It is the real deal! Enjoy!
