“[W]hen it comes to addressing the problems we face, no amount of posting or passive info consumption is going to substitute the hard, unsexy work of organizing.”

Thinking about this for a while as well. I might draw the necessary conclusions. We'll see.

404 Media · You Can’t Post Your Way Out of FascismAuthoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

No idea why I didn’t do this sooner, but you can now also reach my #Mastodonaccount using the logical #subdomain as a redirect: gerrit.eicker.news

Additionally, you can send an #email to the equally logical address gerrit@eicker.news, which also redirects accordingly.

Ideally, the #Mastodon software should set this up automatically to simplify #addressing and #contact in general.

Regarding the last point "And #ActivityPub doesn't have addressing, like as:Public{alice, bob} (read: addressed to public, except for alice and bob)."

That's actually an implementation detail. Imagine: Servers force signed GET requests for resources. Signed GETs are signed by the respective user the resource is fetched for. Alice and Bob are on the block list of said user (or server). Clearly, they won't have access to the object even when it's public.

Unfortunately, very few implementations do it like that, and the retrofit might be more work than just switching to a different implementation.
