that's cool.

I was particularly trying to avoid things like the phrase used there: "anyone can host the software".

We see a lot of discussion around these parts about that kind of language, how it embodies certain assumptions about who counts as "anybody".

Usually it's not meant to be exclusive--just the opposite, in fact--but in some circles it carries a certain sense of disappointment and broken promises.

@idlestate @raphaelmorgan I've been working on a completely different project over the past few months for a new federation protocol that uses relay servers for NAT traversal and to enable end-to-end connectivity, so that anyone can host an application server on their computer. It's basically https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr on steroids. I have a repo for it but it's quite empty.

@idlestate I'd say you achieved that goal: I read "people who aren't Microsoft" as "individuals, albeit not all individuals"
