As of Friday 7 July, apparently my account has been suspended instance-wide by moderators at @fosstodon — so all of my followers there from the past 6 years have been disconnected, and no one on that instance can follow me any more.
No reason or advance notice was provided, and no reports were sent.
Update 2: Apparently I was suspended in November 2022 for posting a video of goats yelling like humans.
@downey the fediverse urgently needs to divorce identity from server instances by means of #NomadicIdentity
Quiet suspensions and defederation are extremely harmful to our social graphs, which should belong to no one but ourselves as sovereign individuals.
Afaik @0x0 is at the forefront of this effort: https://aumetra.xyz/posts/nomad-id-first-steps
Can we get the active stakeholders and developers together to form a working group?
I think these (valid, important) thoughts are in scope for the work @cwebber and team are doing with @spritelyinst but would defer to them to confirm.
@cwebber @erlend @downey @spritelyinst @0x0
I’m interested in a universal & portable username/account/identifier for Fediverse. I suspect that DNS already solves many of the underlying problems and challenges. What we need is more of an accessibility and usability challenge, where I can easily turn a domain name I own into a secure #Fediverse / #ActivityPub server.
Anyone doing managed #Shuttlecraft hosting yet?
@spritelyinst @erlend @cwebber @downey @0x0
Sounds like @glitchdotcom can host #Shuttlecraft — but I haven’t tried it yet.
