Gregory's Servergo-fed.org cert is renewed, test.activitypub.dev has been kicked back alive.
Merged a bunch of PRs and commented on a few bugs. Thanks for everyone for being patient.

π€¦ apparently Twitter's "Tip Jar" integration with PayPal has the side effect of sharing the tipper's billing address to the recipient. π€ Ah, yes, i remember tipping wait staff in the US and telling them where I live. I wrote up the draft "FEP-f1d5: NodeInfo in Fediverse Software" to provide context of NodeInfo in #ActivityPub and #Fediverse software. Please provide feedback, objections, and comments to the doc here: The draft is available at:  There is no such thing as an apolitical judiciary in America. For example, consider the Federalist Society. It is basically the Secret Society Cabal for the judiciary during any modern conservative Presidential reign. The Federalist Society is quite literally a place for people to practice their politicized legal arguments for judicial activism. Even if they don't fly a flag and explicitly chant the Society's name, the insidious Lovecraftian cult-like ideological corruption happens all the same. Just to be clear: I do not treat any of my Mastodon content (DM's, followers-only, unlisted) as private. It doesn't mean I treat it as public, either. Privacy in software is not a binary idea. It might take a year or so, but a direction of some devs on the #Fediverse around #ActivityPub is to make software that is fundamentally OCAP based. A big question will be: will there then be software that ignores it and effectively creates two fediverses? Or will existing software attempt to try to be a Swiss-Army-Knife implement-it-all? Or just migrate completely over? I have no answers but it's an uncomfortable question on the horizon. @geofft had an interesting point on the "allegedly free speech" crowd confusing their belief with the "all ideologies must be equal" that I can appreciate: "[To be pro-repeal Section 230 and "allegedly Free Speech" activist] you'd have to take the anti-free-speech view that ruinous penalties for libel are good, [...]" 1/3 "[...] and then carve out an anti-free-speech exception that says that if you choose not to exercise your right to say what you want or associate with who you want, libel laws don't apply to you. And then, somehow, the two anti-free-speech approaches cancel out and turn into a free speech view - platforms are obligated to be non-ideologically-biased (in a sense defined by the government) for fear of arbitrary civil penalties." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23556412 2/3 @Gargron How does Mastodon's E2E work with #ActivityPub? Is it just the "content" property that is encrypted, or the whole ActivityStreams payload? |
