      exactly like it says. encrypted by default, more control over what posts federate and maybe an unfederated (encrypted) account until accepted a follow request. which some need for a friends-only instance. or a family only one.

        Doesn’t what you descript already exist? Mastodon does all of this.

        Besides, the Fediverse and ActivityPub is particularly a social network. It’s basically a web of json-ld documents. I expect my posts and data to federate across the entire network for the Fediverse to see, as long as I set my audience to such per post. This is already way better than Facebook, for example, which actively non-consensually scans my phone for contacts, tracks my location 24/7, etc.

        Usually, people asking for privacy on social networks confuse privacy with anonymity or pseudonymity, which is an actual problem. Is this what you mean?

          Maybe more options can help like diaspora but yes I’m particularly talking about privacy. not anonymity.

          the privacy options specifically what I meant is choosing which group of people to see which posts. while others can’t see it. this can help for people who want to just run one account to post things on seperate groups without using a “second” private account for friends.

    Maybe Zap? Even has optional e2ee messages with in browser crypto. Hubzilla as well, but Zap is more focussed on private communication.

    Edit: Using it’s own Zot6/Nomad protocol. ActivityPub isn’t really designed with privacy in mind.

        Both can do AP, but to have increased privacy it is better to communicate via the Zot6 protocol I think.

        Yes, you’re using a privacy focused platform and if you want to publish information publicly you can post on the fediverse. Out if curiosity what do you mean by privacy and also social media? A closed network?
