Life in Weeks is a cool idea, but here's why I'm not going to share mine with you.

@evan I would! Friends and family would be neat. I don't have a great way to do that on my website though.

@ben this feels like an important Social Web use case.

[ben@werd.social]

@evan Trustworthy access permissions are a big deal. Particularly given our current context.

@ben @evan have you been following @cwebber’s work on @spritely? I’m certain it’s the future of decentralized trust networks.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@copiesofcopies @ben Great, but we can make sure that Ben's updates are distributed only to friends using ActivityPub, too.

[copiesofcopies@social.coop]

@evan @ben I don’t know, CAN you?

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@copiesofcopies @ben yes.

[philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com]

@evan I don’t doubt that you’re right, do you have an example to point to? It’s not obvious to me how. Sorry if that’s daft. @copiesofcopies @ben

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@philip @copiesofcopies @ben do you ever do followers-only distribution on Mastodon? Like that.

[philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com]

@evan Right, that makes sense. Sorry for the stupid question.

I guess in the back of my mind I was assuming you were referring to some of the E2EE work, or something else new.

@philip @copiesofcopies @ben I don't think any of the long-form text services right now support followers-only posts, though. So it's a valid question!
