hello, I am wondering with existing WebRTC technologies, if W3C has some guidelines on how to interconnect different web domains. Like foo.mydomain.net with bar.mydomain.net. So that each person connects only to her domain that she trusts. I have seen some IETF work (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-security-arch-14) but that's mostly for the browser vendors, not the application owners

so my idea is that if I want to call my dad, we will both sit on our domain that we trust, from the browser we trust, and initiate a call from there. Of course the problem of rantez-vous needs to be solved but that's out of the scope of my interest (and could be solved with something like Linked Data Notifications)

vasilakisfil what is your website/domain that you trust today?
#
vasilakisfil
tantek I trust my domain
#
vasilakisfil
at least I trust my domain way more than a company's domain that offers Voip calls
#
vasilakisfil
another thing that motivates me is that I am fed up with small Voip silos that exploit the technology/results that scientists have worked on for years (Voip) and don't even provide interoperability or extensibility but instead lock the users
#
tantek
vasilakisfil I sympathize with that frustration

Het leuke van Hubzilla is dat je gelijk aansluiting kan zoeken bij andere Hubzilla, Diaspora of Mastodon netwerken. Daardoor heb je veel sneller een groot en waardevol netwerk en geen losse eilandjes. En dat alles op basis van een W3C standaard - https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

[strugee2] ↩️ our charter expired - that's just the way WGs work at the W3C :-) but a lot of the same people are active in the Social Community Group! https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG

Because of US gov't spying, Facebook's data centralization violates European privacy laws. If they'd used their vast resources to work on federation, they'd have no problem. https://indieweb.org/ https://gnu.io/social/ https://joinmastodon.org/ https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#abstract all did!
