@maurice-renck.de@maurice-renck.de I hadn’t heard of that yet, very cool to see something like that formalized in an RFC.
I am for nearly anything that takes social media out of the hands of the corporate silos and returns it to the actual participants, doubly-so if it doesn’t swap the silo for something crypto-based, And the simpler the implementation is, the more likely that people will actually implement all of it (/me glances sideways towards ActivityPub).
Thanks for the rare bit of good news!

Since building a new Edge service and capability I've decided to call "Picket", I'm now dropping about ~40% of incoming traffic to the floor in various ways. Whole botnets, search engines, crawlers and all sorts of unwanted traffic are just going splat 💥 -- Turns out measuring cohorts by fingerprinting and behaviour analysis from connection stats and logs alone is "enough"™ to block most unwanted traffic. Things like Anubis, using a PoW, which I tried, don't really work in my expeirence.
