@the_moep Fedibuzz is great! It normally works as a relay, though. So, you have to be an admin to set it up. But I’ve recently found out you can also follow the accounts, like with tags.pub. So it’s similar in that way. I think it’s a big Fediverse and it’s good to have different services.
@raucao Absolutely! I’d love to work with OSM to set up an API service in their domain. I think showing the value and usage first helps to make that case.
@barbapulpe Hi! Thanks for your help with this. I am glad that you reported this, since it helped me find what was going on.
You should check https://relaylist.com/ for your relay; it’s listed as open-registration.
We don’t use relays anymore, so you shouldn’t see any additional interactions. And your domain block should be fine.
@gunchleoc Please convert to USD so we can compare across servers. I added a note to that effect.
@johan We’d like to get it to global, but we’re doing it a step at a time.
@octothorpes Great!

@zackbatist Hey, Zack. Message me privately at @evan.
@FinchHaven “Instance”, “platform”, “service” and “server” are all synonyms.
@chris Great. Skepticism is a healthy impulse.
You should review the spec. If you have suggestions, add an issue to GitHub.

@mo I also changed the sentence you objected to:
Hopefully that’s less controversial.
@mo Sure! So, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and X all have end to end encrypted direct messaging.
For messaging-only apps, WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage, Google RCS and Matrix are E2EE. Telegram has an option for E2EE.
There are many social networking platforms that don’t have encrypted dms. LinkedIn, Tiktok, and Snap are some examples there.
I hope that helps!

@mariusor @mariusor Wow. Looking this over, your classes are surprising close to the ones in ap-components. Should we try to join forces on this work?
@strypey @raucao Did you read the article you are replying to? It explains how this is built and why it is on Google Cloud.

@external thanks for the note! Important to know.
@bano The Carnegie Endowment is a big, old, establishment policy organization. They cover a lot of topics.
