    so, this is a bit of an abstract mathematical post. I think that a fediverse service consists mostly of three parts: identity provider, data hoster, and feed provider. The data hoster is the machine that hosts the posts and comments and upvote/downvote stats. The feed provider is the service which gives you a nice, scrollable overview over new content for you. This is today the same system that provides the data, but it could be separated, such as having a custom "search engine" that gives you content, that you use independently of where the data is stored. The identity provider basically only makes a proof that "you are you" : you give it your login credentials and it gives you a kind of token that authenticates (proves your identity) to other services. like, i'm on discuss.tchncs.de, but i can post to lemmy.world. this is because the discuss.tchncs.de server says to lemmy.world that i indeed have this account on this server. so they prove my identity in a way. What i argue now is that such an identity providing server is not technically necessary. You could use something like an ~/.ssh/id_rsa file that you generate on your own computer and use that public key to identify yourself on the fediverse. I don't think that this approach has any inherent advantages over how things are being done today, but it could be done that way and that in itself is fascinating. :D

    This is why the forums don’t syndicate to Mastodon

    Agreed that forums are definitely needed, and the energy NodeBB has brought to the Fediverse has been very welcome indeed! The coexistence is often smooth but sometimes quite clunky (although of course that's true for ActivityPub platforms in general).Specifically for the deletes, I had also run into problems where they weren't getting propagated everywhere. Not sure if there's a similar thing happening here; If I recall correctly, the issue I was experiencing related to unsigned fetches.@julian

    nah, it really doesn't makes sense to live on two different open social platforms separately.
