   @maiyannah Resilience. Communities can change, and a federated system doesn't have to be the "everyone stuck in my database" model of the silos.

   @archaeme you can of course run your own gnusocial instance and federate. I don't have an option to install Mastodon yet, but that will be coming maybe next year.

   @sim @eris Beautiful thing about federated free software: If you don't like what's happening at one watering hole, you can choose another one, or even make your own!

   Another Tor Messenger release. It's not essential because other xmpp clients can be routed through Tor, but it is an easy way to do onion routed chat without fiddling with configuration. In the post-IPbill Broken Brexit Britain I think onion routing is a pretty important way to make it hard for Theresa May to gather data on all of the sites you visit and netizens you c…

   Well, on the bright side Trump is less awful than:
   
    * A megavolcano
    * A direct gamma ray blast from a nearby supernova which immediately sterilizes half the planet
    * Another ice age  * The Black Death
   
   Although he might give the last one a run for its money.

   @r7 @tuttle It's maybe true that Trump is more of a domestic threat than HRC would have been, but that remains to be seen. A beneficial side effect is that more folks seem to be suddenly getting interested in computer security.

    Added ssh key verification to #Freedombone. It's not foolproof though because a machine-in-the-middle could still search and replace the public key hash, fooling the user into believing that they had the correct key.

    The point about funding via Open Technology Fund for some well known projects is worth considering

    @mmn @paralithode a compromise would be to have something like gnusocial but to use existing systems for end-to-end secure one-to-one chat. So a button maybe on the profile page to initiate private chat which then just uses Matrix or xmpp or Tox in the background (preferably also onion routed).

    #introductions I am bob. I'm a long time hacker and have been on the web in one form or another since not long after it was invented. I the past I did a lot of things with robotics, AI and computer vision but now I mostly try to make it easier for people to run their own internet systems and bypass the contemporary BS. I am also interested in apes, cultural evolution and decentralised/autonomous systems.
