This is a shit take. Yeah, privacy as implemented in AP relies on a system of trust, with the assumption that the majority of players are acting in good faith, but sit down for this zinger: so does literally the rest of the infrastructure of the modern net.

If your argument were about the security of end-to-end comms where integrity and secrecy have to be verifiable, at least this would be a relevant perspective.

Who the hell are you to decide what the 'point' is, casually trodding on agency because it's inconvenient to you.

@ety I never decided, ActivityPub is literally inspired by oStatus which was inspired by RSS, posting is public. You lost control when you publish. Bolting on privacy expectations is one thing, but expecting everyone to follow suite on a public first protocol is another.
