Yes, also occures without the header. But I think I know the problem now: I tried to use the certificate of my host provider, which seems not to work for federation

Ok, yeah, I’m using a certiciate of my domain provider. Maybe that’s the problem … thanks! I will try to do it with letsencrypt/acme

Or do you know a similar post maybe?

It’s fine if single instances do consent-based federation that prioritize safety over openess, but why should it become the default for all instances? It will result in instance protectionism and an overall decline in discussion quality. Making it opt-in means people will connect less likely with folks from other instances, meaning people will mainly stay on their instances, meaning it supports tribalism in the Fediverse. More safety usually comes at a cost, too. In this case: less interaction with other instances.

But if you federate with instances that you trust good enough in the first place, constent-based federation is not necessary imo.

You mean like for example with different animals?

But currently, people never go to the sub-menu where you can choose servers. They go to mastodon.social, never make the choice that was taken over for them ever again and what you got is a giant mastodon.social that effectively becomes Mastodon. And the fact that this thing cannot be bought by Elon is only made sure because we have the word of Mastodon’s creator to never do so. Great. What’s the difference to Threads then?

(obviously Eugen Rochko has done and still does a great job for the fediverse but you know what I mean)

I’m suggesting a non-swimmers area consiting of more than one server. Currently, it consists of only one (mastodon.social) and its the biggest Mastodon server out there. Not ideal.

Sure no pressure!

You are right, it could be read that way from the title. But from the content it becomes pretty clear that the section of the universe called the “Open Web” was deserted in this world decades ago and no one is there.

Thanks. So nice to hear some feedback <3

You are right about the story. I crafted the whole thing a bit more hasty than the last ones. It should be longer and have an actual story and maybe some new characters. I also need to improve my writing. I tried a more playful style for this one, because its adventerous and so on, but its too inconsistent.

I’m thinking about extending and re-writing it, but am not sure if I will find the time. Thanks anyways :)
