I tried Matrix several times in these years but I often felt the same. I didn't know anything about the company behind it, and now I understand how they built that "appealing" (but pretty confusing) UI.

ActivityPub,nostr,diaspora,at protocol(ne kadar merkeziyetsizliği savunuyor tartışılır) dışında bildiğiniz kullandığınız sosyal medya protokolleri var mı?

I think fundamentally you want anonymous voting, and I'm not sure such a thing is practical.
I think I want transparency, most of all, and after that, "doing the basics well". My impression is that pursuit of anonymous voting could hinder devs' pursuit of what I see as priorities.
I regret to find that most arguments where the interlocutors do not use mutually agreed-upon terms semantic; in this case, given that the underlying protocol is called "Activity" "Pub", I feel modestly comfortable that that's what I signed up for.
I wish anyone who comes to the activitypub protocol the very best looking for something that isn't publishing activity transparently; I'll just be surprised if they achieve it.

Ah, the thrilling saga of "pipelining" where text #protocols become the divas of the network world, demanding more attention than a cat at 3 AM. 
Who knew that CRLF and JSON could rival the #drama of a soap opera? #HTTP 1.1 is apparently the unreliable friend who ghosted #pipelining, while SMTP's support is as stable as a Jenga tower during an earthquake.

It looks like the public sector in Germany is to drop its patchwork of incoming communications solutions in favour of a decentralised/federated new approach based on the Matrix protocol with MLS for message e2e encryption.
Well done. I'd wish more public/government orgs would have that foresight.
It feels like the entire last month for me was nothing but talking about MCP 
So much more great protocol stuff ahead!
Oh... cool cool cool
"The director of a new organization founded to advance the priorities of #US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. has extensively promoted the “#Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” a famous #antisemitic forgery.
Leland Lehrman, who last month was named executive director of the #MAHAInstitute, also believes #Israel may have been behind the 9/11 terror attacks, and has inveighed against “high-level #Jewish Illuminists, or Lucifer worshipers.”

Leaders either cause harm or don't remain for long. Platforms, whether digital or otherwise, are susceptible to power imbalances and misuse. Protocols can enhance the resilience of socio-technical systems and the agency of the participants.
