Good. They should abandon twitter and all other racist, misogynist, transphobic, xenophobic, homophobic bigoted platforms. I hope they have a bad time there.

Political parties should host their own mastodon instances, and give their members accounts. Companies should do the same. It removes all the problems of imitation because the organisation stands as guarantor that the account is the official one.

That’s actually a pretty good idea

I'm not sure on the capabilities of Mastodon. But companies will never go for this if Mastodon doesn't support saml or active directory (or other Auth systems). It needs to integrate with their enterprise tools.

I think you are confusing server-server protocol and client-server protocol.

[–] Archr@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure how that applies here.

I am talking about enterprises being able to leverage their current infrastructure to manage their users in Mastodon from a central location, Like AD. Rather than have to manage local accounts.

I am not talking about activitypub in anyway.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

I'm talking about that too. Mastodon should work just fine with SSO.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago

There are several mastodon servers that have different feature sets. What you're saying is like "email must support AD". Well some email server might do that and another wouldn't.

I tend to feel the same but at the same time, the shadowy figures involved there would love it to see the ratio of extremist increase. An exodus of more sane members might play straight into their hands.

That said, I can’t understand why anyone without an official state role is still on that platform.
