The Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol has been published as RFC 9420 today! MLS is the first standardized and fully specified end-to-end encryption protocol. The specification is freely accessible, and its security has been analyzed in numerous academic publications.
Check out our blog post for a high-level overview of MLS, its practical applications, and why it matters. https://blog.phnx.im/rfc-9420-mls/
If you're new to Mastodon and looking for some #soccer people, most of us use the hashtag #MastodonFC. If you're looking for an instance filled with friendly soccer-loving folks, come check out thefooty.club
If you don't mind somebody who rambles endlessly about—among other things—#RBNY#MLS#GothamFC#NWSL#USMNT#USMNT and a seemingly endless list of obscure leagues and competitions, let's be friends.
🥁🥁🥁 Say hi to Messaging Layer Security! After 5 years in the making, the protocol has been published as RFC 9420. #MLS is the first standardized and fully specified end-to-end #encryption protocol. The specification is freely accessible, and its security has been analyzed in numerous academic publications.

If you're a soccer fan in the U.S., this summer is going to be unreal.
Euros in the morning and afternoon, Copa America at night… then Olympics (USWNT and for the first time in ages USMNT) during the day, with Leagues Cup at night, plus MLS, NWSL, USL, all summer long.
Just wanted to say welcome to all the new #Twitter refugees. Wanted to throw out a shameless plug for all the sports lovers, I created a handful of bots that post scores as they go final. Give them a follow (and give this a retoot, I wouldn’t be mad)

New-to-me instance, so I suppose I should do an #intro again -- and pin it.
Late-realized #ActuallyAutistic#AuDHD#GenX#Enby and more or less lifelong Kansan living once more in the blue bubble of #LFK. In one year I will have lived in my current house as long as I lived anywhere else in my entire life. That is kind of scary to me.
I have no idea what I said as an intro when I joined Mastodon in late 2022. I had just gotten slapped by the book of face because I said I wanted to drive to Texas to punch a Nazi. That'll tell you a lot about who I actually am.
I'm still #Novid because masking is punk as fuck, as is caring about other people in your community -- not just the shiny loud ones who are always talking and saying everything is fine.
It's not.
I believe it's going to be some version of OK, but it's going to be really different, and it might be pretty difficult, and a lot of people are going to be really uncomfortable -- but you probably already know that.
I love reading, learning, sleeping, foraging, unlearning, listening, learning to repair things, and being quiet for long stretches. I grow as much food and medicine as I can on my own small property. I try to be a good steward and give back to the land and the animals.
I am a chicken tender, and they are the joy of my existence. Those goofy birds helped me get through some really rough years recently. When you've got creatures that you have to get up and tend to many times a day, there's a reason to keep your feet on the ground on this earth for a while.
I have two dogs, three cats, and never enough time to do all the learning and reading or even work that I want to do.
I've been in my profession of bodywork for over 30 years and still love it. I'm only able to work part time due to my AuDHD and chronic physical conditions, so my work fits my needs very well.
I'm redheaded, left-handed, short, fat, and existentially angry most of the time, but I am also one of those people that will usually shut up after complaining and try to find a solution.
I'm a #meditator, meditation teacher, certified #yoga teacher, certified listener #poet, am becoming a certified #herbalist, and I like to question everything, especially authority. I have too many #typewriters and only two hands, and never enough time for all the poems that want to be scribbled down or typed out.
I'm a big fan of classic sci-fi, new sci-fi, speculative fiction, memoirs, and #books packed with useful information. I'm on the hunt for an entire set of encyclopedia, as I'm increasing my useful paper book collection. My TV choices tend toward #StarTrek, British comedy, and documentaries about weird cults/religions.
I'm very literal, and my sense of humor is very dry. I cut my teeth on 1970s #Doonesbury, to give you and idea of what I mean.
I am a weird combination of mostly vegan/vegetarian, but I do eat some chicken -- and the eggs my hens produce. So figure that one out if you can. (I can't!)
I love to cuss but I am very, very bad at it.
Some things I love about Mastodon: My Au friends here, all your cat and dog and rat and plant posts, watching monster movies on Sunday nights, my Novid and Covid-cautious friends, my #MLS soccer friends, and the character limit on this new-to-me instance. Woot!
We are coming up on week 4 of the MLS season and I still have not watched a game — because MLS is still running scab referees, locking out the union refs, and refusing to negotiate. #mlssoccer #MLS #Unions
If you're the kind of person who stopped paying attention to the Sounders after the season ended and haven't really been keeping up, this is the post for you.
I still can’t believe that other sports don’t function like #mls and provide all games without blackouts to streaming subscribers. The blackouts is 100% what keeps me from buying the #mlb subscription.
If I can’t watch from home, I'm not going to get into the fandom, and I'm not going to end up buying tickets to a game because I'm not emotionally invested.

The long quest for a new local owner is nearly over. Monday OL Groupe announced that #Sounders and Carlyle Group are taking ownership of #reignfc pending #MLS and #NWSL approval.
I watched NE vs CIN just to see why 9 yellow cards were handed out in the 2H. That ref was bad; it was either no foul or yellow. And it probably didn’t help that Mark Geiger as VAR was overruling stuff on the field. It looked like coaches Porter and Noonan were commiserating with each other at the end of the game. These scabs and Geiger are making me hate #MLS. #PSRAofficials#fairpayisfairplay#StoptheScabs#UnionStrong
Who should we pick up in the transfer window?
