    I wish the other platforms added support for Zot.

    I have read that is secure in comparison to ActivityPub.

      Don’t just believe everything you read :)

      It is designed with more privacy in mind compared to ActivityPub, but IMHO its biggest feature is nomadic identities (meaning you can easily clone an identity on another server and change your primary address).

          I was just joking about the way you wrote that, no other implications meant.

          Anyways… maybe we have a different understanding of security vs. privacy features, but at least to my understanding the advanced access options in zot are privacy features. Or what do you have in mind with security features of zot?

            Encryption, signing…

            Also, in the same description the protocol is very descriptive leaking more metadata as usual as far I read.

              Hmm, ok you are right. I was thinking of user-facing privacy features like making you posts & photos only accessible to subscribers etc. which is AFAIK not really possible with AP (its implementation is more of a suggestion for other servers).

            Sorry about this. I didn’t take it as that at all in that moment.
