Amazing! This will fund:
- Better blocklist synchronisation
- Integrating the #FediMod Fires Protocol (https://fires.fedimod.org), which I only just learned about but adds things like adviseries, retractions and end-of-life 'tombstones' to blocklisted entities
- Remote media storage 🎉 aka Fediverse Auxiliary Servers (https://github.com/mastodon/fediverse_auxiliary_service_provider_specifications) to "allow sharing storage and media processing between servers" - which could have a huge impact in reducing server costs and carbon footprint.
- "Automated content detection" thru these Auxiliary Servers.
- End-to-end encryption for private messages 🎉.
- €90k of funding for other Fediverse projects "wanting to implement support for the two new Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider specifications"
