@miles They definitely have forward forward security implemented. I do not think that tox has deniability, but dont quote me on that.

This issue might help clarify a tad. https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/issues/1254
@Elizafox I think that DAMM (Drunks against madd mothers) might have a different opinion...

Q: Obviously most people here are opposed to the presence of "brands" (companies) on Mastodon. I've seen people suggest that they could "have their own instance".
What about non-profits? (EFF, Greenpeace, etc) Any opinions?
@miles Ever looked into tox? I prefer it to signal, personally.
—
Thank you for the run down. I was about to ask for email suggestions. Some new ones I had not seen before. Thanks once more.
—
You dont appear to be useing key base. While I have the opportunity, I might as well ask; any specific reason?
@miles You are correct, though I have been taking strides to distance myself; Moving more of my life out of google and similar.
—
Suffice to say and I am required to use google currently, and that I, for far to long, allowed connivence to take president over security. The process of untangling one's self is a long one.
@miles The name and the dashes are the only really interesting coincidences.
—
Keep up the good work at politiwatch.
@benhamill Tell us how this turns out. I am interested.
@miles You are starting to creep me out...
—
My name is miles. I also do the hole dashes-to-seperate-ideas thing and you are the only other person I have seen use it. Also a big fan of the EFF... and use signal... and have my GPG key signature in my profile...

You dont... live in texas do you? No long lost children? No clones?

Seriously, Its uncanny. Abstract profile pic and everything...
@paulsheprow @sargoth I heard NY started charging ridiculous prices.
—
Come on now... a paid service will never get off the ground. I would not be surprised it people started useing other microbologing platforms instead of the entire city of New York soon.
—
New York is a failure as a startup.
I thought about it more.
New York: 8.406 million users
twitter: 313 million users
New York is a complete and utter failure.
@benhamill Anther solution is follow bots; but at that point, why not just implement them directly in code. After all, you want a closed system.
—
Follow bots are necessary because they allow for extension over the entire network. You do not require that.
@benhamill It depends on who runs the servers and how close you want them to be...
—
You could fork the main code, and create a p2p pipeline between the instances so that all toots from one are assured to end up on the other two...
—
That only works if the admins of the servers are willing to all use the same codebase.
@benhamill That sounds like the correct interoperation, yes.
—
No one on the server has asked for toots from your single user server, so the larger instances doesn't ask for them.
—
Replies to things might federate. And of course, the occasional toot might find it's way to the first server via retooting.
So I think it's the PubSubHubbub portion that does what I'm looking for.
Current understanding: I make a post & my instance pushes that post to each instance where someone follows me.
Which means if some single-user instance's user follows me, but no one on my instance (including me) follows them, then my instance is "aware" of theirs, but not in a way that their posts would show up on our federated timeline.
Anybody poke holes in that?
@awilfox @Elizafox That guy looks like this now;
