@Half_elf_monk Oldest software I regularly use is a binary compiled 32 years ago with no source code release.
Run a few operating systems last updated or maintained 20+ years ago.

@norayr Message signing is optional in most Fediverse software. I know a few people who write their own stuff and refuse to implement it because there are problems with how signing works.
Since enabling it breaks federation with a lot of services out there it tends to stay disabled.
Only software I know that absolutely forces and will not deliver messages without it is GoToSocial, and that’s why many Fedi admins hate it, because GoToSocial users are always sending delivery bug reports when the bug is user error of being on GoToSocial. 😞

Dropping the tootik link for anyone who doesn’t know it. Great project. Very impressive integration of small web and Fediverse. Even has finger and gopher access which allows for all kinds of possibilities.

I have an idea to run my own Mastodon server (without web UI) using Yggdrasil IPv6 as the node identity. Found this software, did somebody tried it, maybe something better in Rust you can advice? [https link]
