Back in round one of identity wars, this was called the “NASCAR problem” - so many logos to choose from.

@aaronpk OAuth question when you have a sec:

1. User clicks “sign in with XYZ” on my app,
2. User bounces to XYZ’s auth flow,
3. User cancels, denies, etc.,
4. User is bounced to my app’s /auth/failure page.

What’s the “right” HTTP status code for my app’s /auth/failure page?

It doesn’t really matter because the only thing receiving that response code is the user’s browser, I’d just use a 200.

There’s nothing like sitting in on the #ietf TLS meeting to make you realize how little you actually know about how the internet works

I'm also very glad I can use TLS without really knowing how it works.

Yeah. But here’s an interesting factor I think about frequently.

Basically, getting global consensus on one integer (user count) in an implicitly adversarial distributed system like Mastodon was a challenge.

Crypto solves that problem.
https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/335

Why is a global consensus on user count a required (or even an important) feature?

That doesn't even model real-world relationships, and plenty of systems work completely fine without that.

Great q.

I’d argue that many social apps make use of global consensus on at least *some* values. Could be upvotes vs user counts.

If you can get global consensus on one byte, you can run it again to get global consensus on N bytes (possibly with some upper limit on N).

And I'd argue that global consensus is unrealistic and unnecessary, and pursuing it comes at the cost of too many other useful properties.

Local consensus is more useful and easier to achieve, and still results in perfectly functional systems.

Yeah. I think the right model may be to use Postgres or traditional DBs for *most* of the system, and a blockchain for the parts people will fight over.

So things like upvotes, likes, follower counts — and of course money.

We haven’t seen systems consciously built this way yet.

What I'm saying is I actually don't think a global number of likes on a post is even a good idea. What's more interesting is how many ppl within my own network have liked a post.

Otherwise we're just mirroring Twitter along with all the negative behaviors that come with it.
