Since others starting intercepting and eavesdrop on non-authenticated traffic, it got a lot less comfy to do so though. It's not like people are adding encryption to stuff for the fun of it.
- mghackerlady 6mo agoit's not impossible to implement encryption elsewhere, gemini pretty famously requires it
- embedding-shape 6mo agoOf course not, the context here is ATProto which literally stands for "Authenticated Transfer Protocol", and it uses other protocols than just http/tls, so of course there are other ways :)
- riffic 6mo agoit seems the parent comment isn't referring directly to encryption / TLS, but building everything on top of HTTP / HTTPS, which seems to be the default abstraction these days to build on top of.
- rapnie 6mo agoI agree, it is always HTTP nowadays. The Librecast project [0] is doing interesting R&D around multicast and social networking, and has been / is being funded by multiple NLnet grants over the years. I think they have plans to use ActivityPub to demonstrate their work. Current active project is LibreCast Studio, a collaboration environment. The linked video on the page is a very interesting watch. [0] https://librecast.net/about.html https://librecast.net/about.html
- tardedmeme 6mo agoI often wonder if people have forgotten that you can use TLS through the internet without HTTP
