Stéphane Bortzmeyer’s experiment connects DNS activity with Mastodon and uses DNSSEC for authentication. It combines a federated social network with DNS trust material.

The value of the example is the boundary it crosses: DNSSEC supplies an identity check while the social platform provides the delivery channel.
