I don’t think it’s too much for the company that makes mastodon to claim mastodon is “it’s decentralised social network”. The way I read it they don’t claim ownership, they claim to be the author.

Not if you ask them it isn’t 😅


What’s to stop people from providing that service to buy people alcohol?


For an implementation to work, it should: * Let the service know that the user is an adult by providing a verifiable proof of adulthood (eg. A proof that’s signed by a trusted authority/government) * Not let the service know any other information about the user besides what they already learn through http or TCP/IP *
Seems like that’s exactly what https://yivi.app/en/ can do.


And he should know…

Not disagreeing with you, but since the author is asking about GitHub… the XZ GitHub didn’t actually have any malicious code. Only the website tarbal did.


It’s been like this on iOS for a long time.
No, they invented mastodon. Which is the thing they’re adjusting.
They didn’t invent HTTP either, which they’re not claiming ownership of by using it in mastodon.
