    Me: Federation is a bad model.
    People: You're against decentralization! Fascist!
    Me: No, I want *more* decentralization, more equal trust distribution.
    People: " If ideal social power were perfect equality, we'd be ants."

    @aaronpk it was. IRCv3.2 METADATA started as resistance to that crowd.

    they had some good ideas. at the least, SecuShare is worth looking at, as it's the latest iteration of their ideas

    this is a brainlet post, but also a wise one. fediverse shouldn't be held back by these kinds of research problems. i don't think its categorically impossible to build usable WoT or cryptographic social networks, but you actually don't need these things to make fedi work and/or succeed.

    which is the real problem with w3c people trying to write protocols like AP. sometimes a less galaxy brain solution is the right one because its more important to have practically useful tools than the perfectly distributed whatever that people are daydreaming about

    The fediverse (and any network) is fragile until there are:
    - multiple implementations
    - using different raw materials
    - controlled by diverse people
    - on multiple continents

  • I don’t miss Twitter and I definitely don’t miss Facebook. However, I did miss most of the conversations yesterday on my micro.blog feed because I was traveling. It didn’t take long for that to become important to me.

    As a non-techy person, I need yall to understand: just because you *hope* your technology won't be used for harassment, spam, and abuse doesn't mean assholes won't find a way. You need reporting tools. You need to safeguard for your users.

    Get it through your thick fucking skulls already.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
