Don’t just believe everything you read :)

I am not going to reply the problematic implication of this.

I had read the technical introduction and, as far I read, it is focused in security more than in privacy.

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.
