Authorized Fetch (also referred to as Secure Mode in Mastodon) was recently circumvented by a stupidly easy solution: just sign your fetch requests with some other domain name.

I agree with you, however there are issues with not just privacy but also authenticity. I should be able to post as me, even in public, and have a way to prove it. Nobody else should be posting information as me, if that makes sense.

For that, we should start bringing our own private keys to the server, instead of trusting the server to control everything.

And if we start doing that, pretty soon we will end up asking ourselves why do we need the server in the first place, and we will evolve to something like what nostr is doing.

I'm all for it.

...evolve to something like what nostr is doing.

Giving places for cryptobros to wank without being pointed at and laughed at by their betters?

[-] rglullis@communick.news 10 points 11 months ago

No. You are thinking of Discord.

[-] ttmrichter@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

I'm pretty sure that 99.44% of nostr is cryptobros.

My friend, you suck at trolling. Can you just let it go?

[-] ttmrichter@lemmy.world -2 points 11 months ago

When I see nostr users that number more than, say, six who aren't also cryptobros, I'll drop the nostr disrespect. Until then ... 🤷‍♂️

You are doing nothing but a strawman. Lemmy is developed by shit-for-brains tankies, yet there is no denying that their work has brought progress to the distributed web.

Same thing for nostr. Whether you like it or not, nostr "cryptobros" have shown a bunch of things that need improvement on the Fediverse and they are backing their words with actions and working code. You on the other hand have nothing but smug, pretentious bullshit to throw around.

Again, when you can show me a cryptobro concentration lower than 99.44%, I'll take nostr seriously. And when you can show it not turning into a Hellhole worse than Xhitter and Farcebook combined because of the very philosophy underpinning it, then I'll think it's actually worth looking at. (Hint: this is not possible.)

Until then I'll call it what it is: a place for cryptobros to wank to their faux-libertarian fantasies.

Nostr is for everyone.

[-] ttmrichter@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

And yet has overwhelmingly cryptobros.

Do you realize that you are fighting against an open Internet?

[-] ttmrichter@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

I am mocking cryptobro fantasies and their favoured lines of communication.

Not really, you're saying if people you dislike are associated with something then you automatically write it off without understanding it. That's self mockery.
