why the fuck

does that not, like, go against the idea of a decentralized network?

@jonah because you have to speak to Keybase and get your server whitelisted. It’s one the worst things I’ve ever seen be added to an open source project. Decentralisation going with centralisation? Okay LIMOW

What kind of federated services would people like to see privacytools.io host? Plume (joinplu.me/)? PeerTube (joinpeertube.org/en/)? Nextcloud (not sure how much storage we would be able to provide though)?

I’m so glad this Mastodon instance is taking off, gives me hope for the fediverse :)
