Towards End-to-End Encryption for Direct Messages in the Fediverse
What Moxie wrote was about his decisions with Signal. It's not that relevant to this post for distinct two reasons:
1. One of the stated anti-tenets of what I'm proposing is competing with Signal. https://github.com/soatok/mastodon-e2ee-specification#anti-t...
2. Cryptography has matured greatly since Moxie wrote that post.
I feel confident about rolling out a v1 E2EE protocol for the Fediverse in 2023, and then a v2 in 2024 or later.
Migration is a two-putt, but it's tractable. I've worked on similar message format migrations before.
1. Roll out read-only support for v2.
2. Enable writing. Now people can start using v2.
3. Later, once the new version is ubiquitous for the scope of your concern, disable v1.
It's not as fast as if you own the whole stack (like Signal does).

AMA with Eugen Rochko, Founder and lead developer of Mastodon, a decentralized, open-source social media platform based on open web protocols. Ask your questions here!
This is a very hard problem to solve. I know it's being worked on by some smart people though, see https://soatok.blog/2022/11/22/towards-end-to-end-encryption-for-direct-messages-in-the-fediverse/

tankies mad about sites that actually have ToS
The good news is that because Mastodon is open source, and development is done in the open, anyone with the needed skills and interest could implement it right, and there is a project spearheaded by cryptography experts to do just that. https://github.com/soatok/mastodon-e2ee-specification

Twitter will open source all code used to recommend tweets on March 31
That's exactly what https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive is, their purposes are distinct
-
Is that all you need?
Partially true. There are tools that mirror Twitter accounts into the Fediverse. In fact, you can set up such tools for yourself. I personally did that for only a few news sites. Everyone else that I care about migrated or at least crossposted to Mastodon already. You may find more people on there than you think. A lot has changed in the last months and weeks. There’s also a tool that helps you with finding your Twitter followings.

Creating mastodon account that's a feed of multiple twitter accounts
There are a bunch of people out there running theBirdsite Live software which will automatically monitor twitter accounts and post them to Mastodon. However the person that wrote the software does not think it should be used anymore.
-
Are there any tools that allow you to bridge the twitter accounts you follow into your Mastodon feed?
I've come across BirdsiteLIVE, but that requires you to import one twitter account at a time. Is there a way to bulk-bridge all the accounts I follow?
-
Convert Nginx config to Traefik headers?
I think the proxy_cache_bypass header not being present may be causing the issues as the behavior I'm seeing is described in this issue https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive/issues/125 and the solution was apparently to implement proxy_cache_bypass

Trust in Musk or go federated with Nextcloud Social
I did the same and am pretty happy with the end result, but be warned: the official guide requires you to install a full Ruby dev kit to run an instance, with Docker being available but poorly documented (as configuration requires running separate commands rather than just writing a file).
It's not hard, but if you're like me and you don't like polluting your server system with all kinds of dev tools in the global space, you may need somewhat of an understanding of Docker to get everything running smoothly.
One thing to note is that if you're going to be the only one using your server, you may want to enable single user mode. It's a mode for the Mastodon frontend that's optimized for deployments with a single user account.
For those considering the switch, I also recommend checking out https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive and setting up an instance. With your Twitter account you can register for an API key and then mirror all the Twitter users that aren't on the Fediverse yet! It's unidirectional but as most Twitter users seem rather passive anyway, this can make the transition rather easy.
To prevent others from using your keys and quota, you can safely limit ingress to BirdSiteLive to only your Mastodon server. You end up with proxied tweets only visible to users of your server.

Is it possible to find celebrities and other official accounts on Mastodon?
Some folk are setting up Birdsite Live to get access to those tweets without needing to actually use Twitter. https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive
