They attest you are the author between the publication of the message (and of the public key) and the publication of the private key.

Solution: sign every log entry with its own key. To repudiate an entry, publish the private key you used to sign it. But of course, it needs to be baked in the protocol from the start.

I'm in the same boat as GP. Typically, I grep such things when I am not familiar with the codebase, so I can't change where constants are defined, and I do not know where to find such a file.

The issue was the media storage. Mastodon stores lots of small files in deeply nested structures, so filesystems, especially networked filesystems, are very badly suited. Not to mention the disks themselves having issues. The article quotes
