Im from Eastern Europe, and we say to very good female friends "brate" whicg literally means brother but you can translate it as dude. Same for male friends

@Morphchic
1. and 4. https://masto.host/ Masto hosting for your needs
2. You can, you can choose with which instances to federate with
3. There is, only way to do it afaik is to hide timelines from app settings, app which is capable of it is Fedilab (and probably some other, didn't try them)

@didnt1able
True

It is, they don't implement their own encryption like Tutanota or Protonmail, but there is IMAP option so you can use Thunderbird for example to do encryption of e-mails with PGP if you are too lazy to do it manually. We can argue now if that if that is better than other e-mail providers which use their own encryption but I'm not expert to judge that.
@ben_dw

@ben_dw
Yes, and federated like Mastodon

@didnt1able
If you don't want to selfhost with pi (its recommended) you can use disroot.org cloud witch uses Nextcloud and has all implementations of it (calendar, contacts, tasks etc). You get 4GB and e-mail witch can use PGP keys for encryption of e-mails. Disroot is legit alternative imo, and GDPR compliant.

@kravietz
Not sure, I guess there is instance list on their repository and you can't spot them if you are using tusky, they are blocked automatically by app.

@kravietz
Yes, some Mastodon instances are aware of gab instances

@greyor
I guess in the end we will have more or less separate fedivierse, this gab drama made more damage than some stupid posts from gab itself. I'm dissapointed in fediverse reaction to this, I thought we had stronger community.

@randynose
Great, even iCal is on the way

@stefanclaas@mastodon.social
I've heard of salting, but how would Facebook implement this without major changes to their webpage? PGP seems like easy solution to encypting e-mails, my whole point here is Facebook using PGP. I agree that there are better ways of encryption, but its better (more private) than just pure e-mails, wouldn't you agree?

@neb
Switch to other apps that don't censor instances

@stefanclaas@mastodon.social
They shouldn't but nothing stops them. What modern crypto tool could Facebook use to send you encrypted e-mail notifications for example?

@brandon
For encrypted git repository you can use Keybase, also you can create simple bash script which will push local KeePass database to Keybase and then you can pull it to other devices.

I don't see how can I stop someone from posting my public key wherever they want since its public key, and I don't see how can someone benefit from it, can you explain me if its not bother? Privacy improvement in meaning that Facebook sends you notifications with PGP cryptography, I've deleted FB long ago and thats why they used your public key when I used it, did they implement some more features with PGP?

@kravietz
ed25519 all the way. I've seen that Gitlab promotes use od ed25519 to users which is good, for noobs like me I didn't know what algorithm to use so they made that easy.
