i'd argue you guys are trying to solve for a thing that doesn't exist.

indeed, canonical identification is a thing solved by the likes of pgp keys. however, the problem is identity as a construct is more fluid. people have different core identities for different interaction spaces. for example, i have a different identity to my in-laws than i do on the irc servers i participate on.

another instantiation of my identity? m3mnoch@octodon.social

while we're sharing, i have a ton of python/react to write. i poked at mastodon all afternoon instead. #fail

@ikea_femme indeed. communities of communities engaging in trust circles is pretty sweet.

@CobaltVelvet nice. /highfive

@CobaltVelvet wait -- is disk usage _really_ climbing 5% per day?

*shivers*

how long, do you think, will it be before someone figures out mastodon can unleash inextinguishable birdsites for the darker, shadier side of the internet?

basically decentralizing awful.

the next evolution of paid lockers, warez, porn networks, 4chan along a timeline?

@keithpp by "across the internet", do you really mean email only works across the simple mail transfer protocol?

@amasikel heh. i was like, "the conversation is faster than light? what server is HE on?!?"

*tick* *tick* *tick*

oooooh. "federated time line" i get it!

@keithpp pssst. that's like saying "i own chris@m3mnoch.com and someone else owns chris@google.com. how will anyone know it's not me? this has to be fixed."

no, sir. it doesn't actually have to be fixed. just like it's never had to be fixed for email.

@Eris -- hypnotizing voice: "you only want to go if they've still got the chicken chalupa still on the menu. because that shit is off the hook."

so, we had four accounts sitting in the waiting room for comic-con tickets. none of the four were _randomly_ picked to buy badges.

that's two-and-a-half hours of watching a spinner that i'll never get back.

*sigh*
