Comment on I love Mastodon and ActivityPub. But I think Nostr is going to win. Here's why.

I’ve literally had friends that this happened to on Mastodon and the perp was making posts about still being able to see their content even while blocked. You run AP, it is not a secure protocol it was never intended to be.

Absolutely, but nothing we’re talking about here will stop bigots targetting specific people. What we can do though is decrease the drive by bigots, the ones who just spew hate at whoever they happen to stumble across, or whoever pops up in a hashtag search etc.
