On: Mastodon: Add end-to-end encryption API

From the Mastodon creator:

>For once am not happy about Mastodon being on the HN frontpage. Someone submitted a work-in-progress pull request there. Half the comments are circlejerking about free speech as always, the other half gives opinions without understanding the context of the feature (which is not surprising given that it's a work-in-progress pull request on GitHub and not a goddamn press release).

Funny to see this thread to be complete opposite with a lot of praises, e2e discussions and mastodon onboarding.

I feel that Mr. Gargron has been his own worst enemy at times. Mastodon.social instance is notoriously bad, overmoderated and often down-right abusive. While Mastodon itself in many ways a brilliant project with great dev team and direction it's that just they seem somewhat socially inept/extreme at times.

I agree, Pleroma is better though. Just use that.

Gargron has shown that they do not care much for the community or the greater fediverse at large.

Pleroma also is cleaner code-wise so there's that, more active dev and lightweight relative to mastadon.

not paid by Pleroma btw, i just use it daily and I love it wayyy more then Mastadon

Agree entirely, I've managed several Pleroma servers in the past. Incredibly easy to set up and configure.

And you have the guarantee that the dev will actually keep working and refining instead of all the drama mastodon finds themselves in

Pleroma does what Mastodon’t
