  • I love your enthusiasm and that’s because I probably understood about half at best.

    Sounds like a very powerful idea. I come from a time before email was free, and I can imagine the hassle today if I didn’t have access to say my Gmail that’s been going for+20 years now. So with this simple example of self hosting identify I can see massive upsides.

    I don’t understand fedivwrse at all but I can see how this would take it to the next level. Ietf has a lot of weight so it’s another plus to reduce the weight of IEEE and US dependency.
















  • This, but I’d use separate browsers to keep seperate digital fingerprints. Otherwise your ad trackers would know it’s the exact same person going to site a directly and site b indirectly.

    Also worth noting that Facebook has a back door on its mobile app, that keep listening on some port. When you use certain apps with meta code ( could be a newspaper that monetizes with Facebook ads ) or websites with meta code ( same “newspaper”), those apps/websites send your ad tracker id directly to Facebook app through that port. This de-anonimizes the shit out of your “anonymous” ad IDs. Other techniques rely on lots of data points and some degree of guessing, but this ways it’s mercilessly effective and accurate.
