@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. github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/

@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?

@gargron @CobaltVelvet @tcql
@nolan

@miles Ever looked into tox? I prefer it to signal, personally.

β€”
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.

β€”
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.

β€”
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.

β€”
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...

β€”
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...

β€”
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.

β€”
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.

β€”
New York is a failure as a startup.

@NthTensor @sargoth

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.

β€”
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...

β€”
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...

β€”
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.

β€”
No one on the server has asked for toots from your single user server, so the larger instances doesn't ask for them.

β€”
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;
