Authorized Fetch (also referred to as Secure Mode in Mastodon) was recently circumvented by a stupidly easy solution: just sign your fetch requests with some other domain name.

I agree with you, however there are issues with not just privacy but also authenticity. I should be able to post as me, even in public, and have a way to prove it. Nobody else should be posting information as me, if that makes sense.

For that, we should start bringing our own private keys to the server, instead of trusting the server to control everything.

And if we start doing that, pretty soon we will end up asking ourselves why do we need the server in the first place, and we will evolve to something like what nostr is doing.

I'm all for it.

...evolve to something like what nostr is doing.

Giving places for cryptobros to wank without being pointed at and laughed at by their betters?

No. You are thinking of Discord.

I'm pretty sure that 99.44% of nostr is cryptobros.

My friend, you suck at trolling. Can you just let it go?
