Say goodbye to Linked Data Signatures

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/mastodon-4.7/

We now support verifying FEP-8b32 Object Integrity Proofs using either eddsa-jcs-2022 or mldsa44-jcs-2024.

The latest version of Mastodon can verify FEP-8b32 integrity proofs, which replace outdated Linked Data Signatures.

@julian @jupiter_rowland Many of us thought that Mastodon devs will never implement anything that is not invented at Mastodon. But now there seems to be a change in attitude
