Is this dead yet?
Everybody who is trying to tell me how to delete toots: I know where to find the delete button but toots just don't disappear immediately (likely load on the system).
@donb I just wanted to say that since this is why I asked in the first place
@donb in the local timeline?
@fj how does the federation work on mastodon? If a server can only "forward" messages from his own users I don't see a big problem as long as the message origin is clear.

Mastodon's federation introduces UX challenges.

One that worries me a lot is about message forgery. Anyone can forge a twoot, even cross-server.

Whereas Twitter Inc might be trustworthy enough to not forge transcripts. Anyone can run a Mastodon server and might want to abuse it to influence people (see Russian troll campaigns).

Should Mastodon "home servers" cryptographically sign updates? Should there be end-to-end signatures? Anyone has thoughts on this?

@NickDe ❤️
@NickDe you can but it seems delayed
@brindle I guess, no idea if people would like that or not. also I guess limited signup doesn't exist
