@[email protected] You do raise a lot of good points. On the last one, though, I vehemently disagree. If this is going to be the next evolutionary step of social media, then there *will* be coups, or at least protests, whistleblowing, communication with abuse victims in need of help and secrecy, being planned and executed on here. And surprise birthday parties.

@[email protected] Thanks. I think my preliminary notes are now complete.
One thing irks me though. AP works by "Everything is visible", and OCAP (now ZCAP?) wants to remove actions by adding a protocol? That seems naive to me, and "We'll just defederate non-compliant servers" is a recipe for data leaks. Is there no approach based on "We'll just encrypt everything"?
@Flipsoi5 ...which is why it's so important to sour them for marketing with a dose of realistic cynicism. #memeticliberationfront
@Flipsoi5 Proprietary algorithms created by the lowest bidder?
What is the user account for https://distbin.com/ ? I'd like trying to follow it and seeing posts about notes I create via the web interface. #distbin
@[email protected] Cool. One thing I haven't seen mentioned in this context so far is websockets; I'd have assumed that people would build on that for push updates?
@[email protected] Thanks; Looks like I'll either dig into Epicyon, or roll my own.
As far as delivery and routing is concerned, are there some standards / common practices? Should I take care to deduplicate messages that reach me over multiple routes, or may that not happen? What's the best practice on limiting object visibility? Are there supplementary protocols besides OAuth2 that I really should provide?
@[email protected] Thanks. I'm indeed only starting to figure out what I want, and it does approach the ideal server you described. I start the server, it federates with other servers, maintains its corner of the social graph, allows sufficiently authenticated clients to do their thing on it. All social media functionality beyond that would be implemented as Applications.
So, I went through the C2S/S2S specs, I'm brushing up on Flask, I guess the world still needs such a server?
How do #instances federate in the #fediverse? Is all-to-all communication assumed? Do instances black-/whilelist each other? If not, how are Activities routed between them? I haven't seen anything in #activitypub about that so far. Is there an established protocol?
@onf According to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom, from 1994 to 2011 they were classified as harmful to the youth by the BPjS, and no advertisement could be made for it.
Wolfenstein 3D however... From 1994 to be confiscated for its use of symbols of yadda yadda yadda. Until September 2019. I guess that answers the question.
