If we have a federated messager that some people self host, would that actually be more secure? i dont know much about how federation works, but i imagine that an intelligence agency could make an instance that would federate to the others, listen to the metadata of the exchanges in the network and rebuild a social graph like a centralized server could. Is this a non-issue?

“for people”

This doesn’t mean a lot for people who don’t know about people, or dont want to look it up.

its not just a white space. Sometimes it entails a white space, when theres still space on that line. Sometimes it does not.
