@bonfire@indieweb.social @swf @sovtechfund@mastodon.social @benpate@mastodon.social Will this mean the possibility of friends-only (i.e. people you select, rather than anyone who follows you) posts on Mastodon/Pixelfed/similar? If ActivityPub ever gets mass adoption, that will be important, because when everyone’s here, so are griefers, trolls, pig-butchers and as yet uncategorised hostile actors.

@acb@mastodon.social @bonfire@indieweb.social @swf @sovtechfund@mastodon.social This *specific* tech will make private groups, similar to Apple Messages, Signal, and WhatsApp. It won’t make “Friends Only” posts, but.. both Emissary and Bonfire already provide different flavors of “Circles” that let you choose the visibility of your posts. https://emissary.dev/circles Id live for other Fediverse tools like Mastodon to add this too.
