#Mastodon and the wider #fedivers are native #openweb project based on the #4opens people who try to “harden” and “secure” these are completely missing where the value is at.
They are spreading #FUD and endangering real activists acting this way.
Media is “open” using #ActivertyPub.
Anything that is not media should use encrypted p2p chat, there are many mature #FOSS projects for this.
At the moment as the #Fediverse is a #OMN based on the #4opens you have very low barrier to running or even developing an instance, this is where the value is.
Adding security generally makes a HUGE barrier to Dev and #DIY running an instance.
The #geekproblem has no idea of the damage they do when pushing their “common sense”. This creates a signal-to-noise issue that has been blocking alt for 20 years.
