So what happens when users trust the admin of an instance for their personal data (DM mostly), and that admin, because either the instance is growing fast or he doesn't know otherwise, uses big centralized "cloud" services like amazonaws, cloudflare, etc. with servers under US jurisdiction? Some users may not even get to know about it?
Should that be part of the "score" of various instances?
@jz Most definitely. And end-to-end encrypted DMs should be a major priority.
Ideally, I would like to see the focus be on streamlining the installation of instances of one – the moment registering a domain and setting up your own instance of Mastodon just for yourself is (almost) as easy as setting up an account on someone else’s instance (< 1 minute) we will have crossed into exciting new territory in decentralisation.
