@thatguyoverthere Private keys aren't portable and many people don't have a security key, that's biggest issue for its adoption.
AP spec defines almost nothing lol. AP servers can use any authentication middleware, but it's simply not worth the effort because it would only be used by a selected number of people.
@Erik I did, the thing is truth social never federated, because they never cared about fediverse, they just took mastodon because it was free software.
Gab on the other hand was bullied out of here, because it's CEO was thin skinned and did a lot of things which people from all sides didn't liked.
But they aren't the only ones who have defederated in ways like this. One of the bigger examples is cohost which was also got "bullied" (they claim) by the "Mastodon network" side.
@Erik The people against fediblock aren't against the concept of defederation.
I don't know where you got that idea from. The server is ran but their admins and they have all rights to defederste from whatever they wish.
The issue people take with fediblock is that it's easily abused and creates a cycle of trusting frequent contributor on it as the authority on what should be and shouldn't be block, without having little to no conversation over with the people being blocked. And if you happens to get on the wrong side according to them, you would be on the fediblock next.
But many document require some structure and be extendable like presentation, letters, etc.
While yes, you can do that with markdown but it likely confuse some people and even software.
Like you can't do >[ image as a link ![ Image Alt ](link.to/img)](link.to/img-as-link) In many markdown editors and viewes, and I got this snippet where its was functioning.
* Btw there's Slidev if you want to make presentation from markdown files. Made by Vue devs which also made Elk, from webtoo.ls
@alcinnz@doctormo@RL_Dane@james As for parsing the HTML I agree it's one of major reasons why people don't like it and XML by extention.
I think there needs to be a better syntax for it, and bringing the Lisper inside me would recommend SXML (S-expression syntax for XML) it solves a lot of issues with parsing as S-exps are one tye easiest things to parse. (Thus so many "make your own language" tutorials make a lisp)
