There are still server softwares our there that are going to be exposing people’s private Mastodon posts.

You could’ve saved yourself a lot of typing there by just admitting to claiming things you actually didn’t know.

If you know of other ActivityPub servers that expose private posts the same way I suggest you make a responsible disclosure to the developers.

I don’t know of any, but you claim they exist so …

You have absolutely no idea what “responsible” in “responsible disclosure” means :) It’s completely irrelevant how Mastodon has implemented private posts when it comes to how Dansup handled the issue, knowing what the effects were.

You don’t, when told of a vulnerability, handle it in a way that cause harm if it can be avoided.

Read more, post less. I’ve said nothing about any spec violation. That’s not relevant.

hahahahaha

Watch and try again ;) I post under my real name.

Feel free to post less and read more.

It has everything to do with ActivityPub since if you follow that protocol strictly you will cause this behavior. It still doesn’t change that Dansup was told that this caused Bad Things™ and yet he didn’t follow normal procedure in how you handle it.

Vulnerabilities don’t need to be buffer overflows.

Regardless whether you want to pretend that not caring about Mastodon is a valid defense when implementing software using the ActivityPub protocol, that still doesn’t change anything regarding how Dansup handled the disclosure of the effects it had.

In Sweden a single Volkswagen EV model (ID.7) now sells as much as all the Tesla models together.

In the sense that it does use more of the fuel, like a breeder reactor, that’s good. We need to stop claiming 95% good fuel to be “waste” that needs to be stored for a long time and instead just use it all up.

The private account would still need to accept a follower from that rogue instance.
