   The more gnusocial posts I read, the more I feel like dusting off my Ruby skills and helping Mastodon out.
   
   I swear, if I didn't have four projects already on the go, I'd help them fix privacy and permissions, just as a fuck you to the gnusocial anti-privacy campaign.

     @beardyunixer There is no "gnusocial anti-privacy campaign", only a "why are you trying to do this with a protocol that can't do it, breaking interoperability and user expectations in the process?" immune response.
     
     Happily, people are looking into doing this with AP instead.
     
     Diaspora support in Masto would be cool too.

     @beardyunixer You are very welcome to solve the logically unsolvable issue of federated trust between random local user and random remote server.
     
     e2e encryption is the only solution, but then you have all kinds of barely solvable issues with key distribution, fingerprint verification, data recovery etc. etc. My favourite issue with distributed e2e communication is that it needs to have perfect forward secrecy combined with new clients having access to backlog. I bet you can fix that with Ruby.
