Mastodon is just one of the numerous free software ActivityPub implementing instances that make up the fediverse.

I don't understand why some people aren't even self aware.

Huh.

nostr:npub1aw2wjq3pw536ql6635aq0a5sqxwlvzeguge6tkhk5mdzq4yez97sdp70dd >A browser is in and of itself a form of digital handcuffs

What are you even on about?

Sure "modern" browsers include digital handcuffs by design, but the concepts of a browser, TLS, kernel's and hardware aren't inherit forms of digital handcuffs.

>Maybe you should complain about eff's certbot too.

I don't see how that's related, but my complaint about certbot is that it's written in Rust, so I use acme-tiny instead.

>idiots like you is why Google will win. Rope yourself.

I don't get this backwards logic and hate simply because I won't kiss your ass over "solutions" that won't work.

I gave you an clearly explained and thought out answer to the question you were asking, but you responded that disgustingly?

I avoid google as much as possible myself - I don't even use chromium, yet I'm the one making google win?

nostr:npub1aw2wjq3pw536ql6635aq0a5sqxwlvzeguge6tkhk5mdzq4yez97sdp70dd >Why not make an open source version of WEI

Why are you asking the Free Software Foundation to make an "open source" version of digital handcuffs?

The webserver interfacing part of WEI appears to be released as free software at first glance (unlike many other parts of chromium), but that's really just bindings for other proprietary software that does the "attestation".

The whole plan is for it to be impossible for anyone not google or their approved partners to "attest" that x browser is authorized.

>write a special provision into the license that basically prohibits Google from using it?

That would violate freedoms 0, 1, 2 & 3 so any such provision would make a proprietary software license.

Technically you can achieve that in practice by licensing under the AGPLv3-or-later - google is authorized to exercise the 4 freedoms, but they won't, as their business is SaaSS.

>while maintaining an open browser environment sans Google

You underestimate how difficult it is to maintain a "modern" web browser.

There are so many "standards" and they keep changing so much that it'd be easier to go to the moon than to write a web browser from scratch: https://drewdevault.com/2020/03/18/Reckless-limitless-scope.html

The only reason firefox still works on most "modern" sites is because google pays Mozilla a lot of money to have web developers duplicate their downgrades and so they can point out a "competitor" to any antitrust prosecutor.

>Make Chrome obsolete.

The FSF knows very well that proprietary software automatically obsolete, but of course people love to get used by it anyway.
