Announcing Key Transparency for the Fediverse
I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of a reference implementation for the Public Key Directory server. This software implements the Key Transparency specification I've been working on since last year, and is an important stepping stone towards secure end-to-end encryption for the Fediverse. You can find the software publicly available on GitHub: PHP Server software: PHP SDK (client-side):

@chris @reiver @ezeno789 the key is that other servers have to consult the `replies` collection when they show the replies. Fortunately the original server sends `Add` and `Remove` activities when items are added and removed, so remote servers can keep a cached copy.

That is a good question — but, I'm not sure.

@reiver Do they support inlining html in markdown as designed https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html ?

@reiver @ezeno789 About algo choices, it's very interesting the work of @cryptadamist with Fedialgo: https://github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/fedialgo_demo_app_foryoufeed
Worth looking into it IMO.

PieFed too.

How many Fediverse software use Markdown as its default text format — rather than HTML?
I think both PeerTube and Lemmy are Markdown native — rather than HTML.
Anything else?

@evan @reiver @ezeno789 I don't think that would help. The reply would still be out there. Just not in that list. But the protocol doesn't depend on that list. For this to work you'd have to have a signal to all servers, that have received the reply post, to remove that message from the thread. That would probably be a another FEP. At least that is how I understand it.
