     @deadsuperhero To be replaced with what, pseudoprivacy?

     @mmn @deadsuperhero ActivityPub allows for PGP encryption, so it would be possible to do real privacy although where and in what form private keys are stored would be the bigger question. It could be done something like ProtonMail where the user supplies a password which generates the private key on the client side.
     
     I'm still inclined to think though that the best tools for hombre-to-hombre private communications are the ones we already have, with ratchets and so on.

     @bob I think there are quite a few benefits that GNU Social could get by supporting AP. I hope there isn't too much "burn" by seeing it as a "Mastodon vs GNU Social" battle. I tried pretty hard to avoid that; @mmn and @deadsuperhero both at least can verify that I did try to get GNU Social and everyone else involved. I know that's not an obligation for GNU Social to adopt AP, not saying it is, just saying healing the "fractured federation" has always been a large reason for me working on AP.

     @deadsuperhero @mmn @bob The biggest pushback I got from starting work in the SocialWG at all was "there's no way you're going to get all the people in the fediverse to work together, they all hate each other." I didn't believe that, and I still don't! We can and should work together!

     @cwebber Indeed you and others involved with AP spec development have been very inclusive, inviting and encouraging. I very much appreciate your (and everyone else's) efforts that have been put into #ActivityPub.
