A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is my current attempt at preparing to counter the spam waves that will be appearing as the fediverse becomes more and more popular.

It involves the creation of whitelists based on a chain of trust between instances with easy ways to add and remove into it with few overheads.

So instead of having to "beg for endorsements" you'd rather have to pay to set up a FOSS server?

Yes. I already have to pay for a VPS, for a domain...nothing wrong with paying for an SSL cert. At least I can pick my vendor.

I'm not sure how'd you accomplish this without requiring an EV cert, which is expensive and time-consuming to get, right? I guess manually maintaining a list of free CAs like Let's Encrypt? Idk, I'd never pay for a cert I'd have to manually update where my LE certs are all automatic.
