Is decentralised federated social media over engineered?

  • Trusting other peoples identification and authorizattion isnt about sharing accounts and passwords. If user A of server X want to log in at server Y, server Y asks server X if it knows this user A. If so server X handles the password/mfa check and just gives the green light to server Y.

  • Maybe good old blogosphere with comments pingbacks and pubsubhub(?) was a sort of simpler proto version of the fediverse.

  • Sorry but I fail to understand the relation between your question and the additional text.

    Are the bulletpoints requirements for a less over-engineered attempt ?

    Or are they examples of the current situation?

    And just software without protocol seems. .... oversimplification.

    • Why does have to keep profiles hidden in "about:profiles" like they're illegal to have. It's quite literally the 1 feature stopping me from using it over Vivaldi. That and vertical tabs, of

  • This baffled me to no end, but the -P flag did the trick.

    eg Win11: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P as a shortcut.

    Got used to always start with profile picker.

    • What is the reason for drastically different vote count and number of comments across different instances? Is the issue solved as of today?

    Jump

  • AFAIK its "by design" meaning an inherent property of the fediverse.

    If I dont follow someone or my instance isnt federated with those of other followers we cant see each others comments or likes etc

  • Choice is never a bad thing. ...

    In this context maybe but overall after a certain level of possible outcomes, choice doesnt cause more happiness but anxiety and "choice-stress".

    • Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?

  • 4 months now, Debian Gnome. Its on a laptop from work. Knowing what I want and how to secure things they gave me local admin rigths on Win11 to convert the device to dual boot. Slowly getting to know my way around.

  • I had a security download (but not yet installed) ready yesterday. Logged off without installing. Turned on my device today and couldnt log in. Checked my pwd 3 times before seeing "authentication service not working " iirc.

    After reboot it installed and logging in worked.

    Is this related or not and is it expected? Not being able to log in without a mandatory patch first so to say?

  • Thats just a user frontend showing your personal view of things . Nobody outside Google knows for sure if they really remove it from their end. All we know is they COULD keep a copy for themselves.
