@phnt@lain You don't work around GDPR that way, it's not a technical standard, it's a law.
Also I think you've missed the "somewhat" keyword, I'm not talking about guarantees but about doing better (GDPR or not in fact).

You're literally rephrasing what I've already said here:
> But at the end of the day, something sent to a ton of independent servers tends to stay forever so the "right to be forgotten" is quite limited (but we could do better).
@phnt@lain For example even without GDPR or whatever privacy concerns, having deletes working is important in the same way a working garbage collector is. It's often useless to keep invalidated data and in the case of ActivityPub, things like not having proper deletes of following relationships means higher network loads, and no delete of accounts means higher database loads. And as far as I can tell both aren't really working properly.
@lain You can somewhat know how far a post federated with hard-requiring signed fetches but that's only the first step, you'd also need things like batch deletes ("Let's send out one Delete per post" is pure madness). But at the end of the day, something sent to a ton of independent servers tends to stay forever so the "right to be forgotten" is quite limited (but we could do better).
@SuperDicq@pixel I consider that fedi cannot really have ads (except spam) because I consider ads to be something entirely different to public announcements or things like news articles (non-sponsored kind though).
Like for me the definition of ads is paying to force your way into people's feed/vision (and of course manipulation to make that money worth it).
For example an artist talking about their own merch at end of a concert isn't an ad, people are there for it.
@Johann150@arcanicanis tbh I feel like the entire way standards are made is broken, including IETF which feels like the least worst one.
Like the Fediverse has been using HTTP (Message) Signatures for more than half a decade and is probably by far the main user of it yet there's barely any communication between implementers and standards writers, and AFAIK there was no way to get something like a mailling-list with just http-signatures rather than the entire noise of the http-wg.
@Johann150@arcanicanis SocialHub for me is the kind of thing I nearly just stopped (I just get email on new subjects of particular topics) because there's no difference between stuff like "help, my implementation doesn't works" and stuff like "Here's a draft for a FEP".
So it went back to people explicitly pinging Pleroma or seeing something in my fedi timeline. Which doesn't scale at all to the number of fedi implementations.
@wakarimasen@Tsuki@kirby@coolboymew Experience that you could get with a slightly specialized OS (like SteamOS) rather than being stuck to specialized hardware. In fact XBox/PlayStation are nearly undistinguishable from a gaming PC with a special OS, only difference is it being locked down.
