This sucks -- not all Mastodon instances will be able to use this. It's subject to approval by keybase, ensuring only big instances can use this. A step backwards a proper decentralized network…
- insomniacity 8y agoI would imagine they're happy to support small instances if they have a legitimate userbase... why not ask them and report back?
- wut42 8y agoThey already somewhat said that porn related instances will not be allowed. So sex workers and such won't be able to use this. Why bother asking them? I moved to the fediverse to NOT be controlled and regulated by corporations, because there's no need to. Adding such a feature in Mastodon is stupid. What's the next step? Integrated Twitter client?
- dcbadacd 8y agoYes please, make it possible to discuss external content more easily in Mastodon, please.
- stevenicr 8y agoKeybase has said porn related names / IDs won't be allowed? I was going to suggest some people look at using it as an alternative ID system to use in various chat systems. However some of those appear to be sex chat focused, so if that could cause an issue for them I'd be better off not mentioning and looking for a keybase like ID alternative.
- xgess 8y agoKeybase team member here. We have more than 30 so far, and they range from some of the largest down to single-user instances.
- mirimir 8y agoOK, but what about "sex workers and such" that wut42 mentions in a subthread?
