@saskia@backend.newsmast.org going through many of the apps they've built for projects, institutions, papers, etc.
They all share a common thread, none of them talk about the fediverse, ActivityPub, Mastodon, Bonfire, etc.
They all also have split DMs away from the public feed. Heh

Oh here's a hot take.

It really speaks to the audience a bit that every time I attend a fediverse focused conference the phrase "seize the means of production" always gets said at some point
(not usually in presentation, mind you) -

Everything on the table:
I should do this, but have been waiting because I *really* want to self-host the main #Emissary and #Bandwagon accounts on my own software.
Right now, Emissary is a great PUBLISHER and READER, but it does a poor job with DMs. So I couldn’t really use Emissary to support questions like this one.
It’s been on my roadmap for a while, and it’s why I’m excited to build #e2ee DMs, too.
But I do plan to launch these as soon as I have a good solution for DMs.
