Authorized Fetch Circumvented by Alt-Right Developers (wedistribute.org)

Authorized Fetch (also referred to as Secure Mode in Mastodon) was recently circumvented by a stupidly easy solution: just sign your fetch requests with some other domain name.

For that, we should start bringing our own private keys to the server, instead of trusting the server to control everything.

And if we start doing that, pretty soon we will end up asking ourselves why do we need the server in the first place, and we will evolve to something like what nostr is doing.

I'm all for it.

...evolve to something like what nostr is doing.

Giving places for cryptobros to wank without being pointed at and laughed at by their betters?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No. You are thinking of Discord.

I'm pretty sure that 99.44% of nostr is cryptobros.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My friend, you suck at trolling. Can you just let it go?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

When I see nostr users that number more than, say, six who aren't also cryptobros, I'll drop the nostr disrespect. Until then ... 🤷‍♂️

You are doing nothing but a strawman. Lemmy is developed by shit-for-brains tankies, yet there is no denying that their work has brought progress to the distributed web.

Same thing for nostr. Whether you like it or not, nostr "cryptobros" have shown a bunch of things that need improvement on the Fediverse and they are backing their words with actions and working code. You on the other hand have nothing but smug, pretentious bullshit to throw around.

Again, when you can show me a cryptobro concentration lower than 99.44%, I'll take nostr seriously. And when you can show it not turning into a Hellhole worse than Xhitter and Farcebook combined because of the very philosophy underpinning it, then I'll think it's actually worth looking at. (Hint: this is not possible.)

Until then I'll call it what it is: a place for cryptobros to wank to their faux-libertarian fantasies.

Do you realize that you are fighting against an open Internet?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I am mocking cryptobro fantasies and their favoured lines of communication.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not really, you're saying if people you dislike are associated with something then you automatically write it off without understanding it. That's self mockery.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

Whatever you say, child. Buh-bye.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nostr is for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

And yet has overwhelmingly cryptobros.
