Someone pointing out that — even though it is popular to hate cryptocurrencies nowadays — there are some places in the world where a person's only practical option to receive an international payment is cryptocurrencies.

Using signatures to address deep-fake.

As evidence that, for example, a video actually came from a camera.

. @pfrazee.com mentioning that AWS will pull your account if you do not respond quick enough to copyright claims.

Even when the claims are BS claims from trolls.

Doesn't matter the time of the day or the day or the week.

In room with @darius talking, for his discussion.

. @darius wish-list for Fediverse & ActivityPub:

• DIDs
• equivalent of PDS
• ???

. @blaine :

Bluesky and Fediverse are going to end up with very, very similar protocols, as they each fix their problems.

They are both already talking about bringing in things from the other.

. @darius :

Bluesky seems like it is getting an inbox / outbox style architecture — just like the Fediverse.

. @blaine :

Bluesky's plc.directory/ is just WebFinger [re-implemented].

. @darius :

One problem with ActivityPub is that — it doesn't actually say anything about federation.

And, different Fediverse software does it differently.

@reiver @darius

Section 1, first sentence.

@evan @reiver okay correction: doesn't say anything substantive about federation! Completely useless to me as an implementer!

Föderation EN So 23.03.2025 23:02:46

@darius @reiver I guess I don't understand your point.

The spec mentions federation a few times, but mostly it is in fact describing how to implement federation, so most of the text is talking about lower-level objects.

Anyway, sounds like a fun event. Say hi to Blaine and Boris for me.

@evan my point is there are no rules of the road for how content should be sent around the network. It's how you get phenomena like "boost leaking" that can get around blocks

@darius I think the current best practice is to only use inclusion by ID for the `Announce` activity, for this very reason.

But I agree that the public-except-unpublished-denylist access mode is really hard to make work right.

I also think there are trade-offs between the efficiency of sending activities with lots of data, and the level of control when sending minimal activities. I have a long section about this in my book, but it might be good to include guidance in the Primer or the next AP.

@evan agreed!
