You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
The original use case for this stuff was unencrypted HTTP with a public WiFi connection, in which case your ISP is the owners of whatever shop you’re in and yeah they could see everything.
If you’re at home or whatever it offers effectively no benefits, doesn’t “block trackers” or whatever nonsense like Nord claims, but I don’t think Microsoft ever claimed that it did.
IPFS has gateways though, so you can link to the latest version of a page which can be updated by the owner, or alternatively link to a specific revision of the page that is immutable and can’t be forged.
Seems like we need to switch to URLs that contain the SHA256 of the page they’re linking to, so we can tell if anything has changed since the link was created.
IPFS says hi
