There are simple services that exist that — when a user fills-out & submits a <form> on the Web that simple service e-mail someone that data.

There are simple services that exist that — when a user fills-out & submits a <form> on the Web that simple service e-mail someone that data.

These simple services are alternatives to more complex back-end with a database.

An alternative to this alternative could be — instead of e-mailing someone the submitted data, send that data via the Fediverse using ActivityPub.

ActivityPub them. (Can “ActivityPub” be a verb‽)

Probably as a private DM.

#ActivityPub #FediUX #Fedivese #FediverseUX

@reiver HUGE WARNING: ActivityPub DMs are not really very private. Modern e-mail is better if this is your intention.

@khleedril

AFAIK, e-mail isn't really private either.

Wouldn't an e-mail be about as private as an ActivityPub DM?

I.e., you have about the same level of privacy with both an ActivityPub DM and e-mail?

Or, am I missing something?

Yes and those simple services have huge problems with spam...
