YuraAfter the recent Discord incident, I was thinking, why decentralised alternatives aren't more popular? What did Discord do that Matrix, for example, couldn't?

Thor A. Hopland#Mozilla is no longer in the vanguard of the #openweb. What was once an organization dedicated to #decentralizing #web technology has now gone over to feeding #SaaS chains.
If it was about local and #selfhosted #AI, it'd be another thing - which was their original stance. But in their pursuit of funding they've abandoned the principles that made Mozilla great.

@Mer__edith on a different note: Does @signalapp plan to actually increase it's own #privacy and #security by not demanding #PII like a #PhoneNumber, not mandating the garbage #app to have #CameraAccess (which doesn't work on devices without a camera!) and actually #decentralizing onto @torproject / #Tor, mandating real #E2EE with #SelfCustody of all the keys as well as removing the #Shitcoin that is #MobileCoin from it?
And it's not as if I didn't try it out!

My [reservations](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036) and [criticism](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862595629371002) re: #Signal are not just valid, but the reality is *even worse than I thought*: - The fact that @[email protected] requires not only their shitty #Android #App, and a #PhoneNumber but literally won't allow people to use their shitty #Desktop-App unless they have an Android device with a camera pointed at it makes it utterly unuseable for certain users *who don't have a fucking #camera in their Android*… Seriously, do they expect folks to deal with that shit? - It's already worse in terms of #UX than #telegram and #discord and that too makes #XMPP+#OMEMO clients like @[email protected] / #monoclesChat & @[email protected] / #gajim easier and faster to onboard #TechIlliterates onto. - Whichever asshole decided that a *replacement for #SMS* should mandate #PII like a #PhoneNumber & not be natively cross-platform should be banned from doing any #tech in their life. Trying to circumvent this shit and helping folks with it makes me so fucking angry that I'm now explicitly refusing to support it! FIX THAT SHIT, @[email protected], and if it means you need to kick some devs in their crouch then consider this a necessary *"investment"*… #sarcasm #TechSupport #TalesFromTechSupport #Enshittification #SignalSucks #TelegramSucks #Messengers

Melroy van den Berg@madsenandersc @pixelambacht that being said thanks for your warning. I appreciate it.
Let's see how far I can get it to work, especially from mail servers from Google and Microsoft and alike.
I just want to get it working I'm sick of the current monopoly on the internet. The web is already the least decentralized since the beginning of time. Due to AWS, Azure, GCP, Cloudflare (everybody is behind cf), etc. I'm fighting for a more decentralized internet again. #Decentralizing #internet #cloud
Rey ErsoIt's behavior like this that convinced me to leave #Meta forever. #Google, #Microsoft, and #Apple have also been using our data to train their #AI in the form of taking our writing from word processors. This is why I've been #decentralizing from these corrupt tech giants. No more free data from me.

Decentralizing DevRel
Following the ZIRP DevRel post, the community has had many great discussions on where devrel needs to go next. DXTips exists to share this tacit niche industry knowledge. DX@X is our new async interview series we are starting with DevRel leaders to g...
@element it's even more important to actively work against such #Cyberfacist laws by supporting and demanding #SelfCustody of keys as well as #decentralizing harder through putting stuff on @torproject / #Tor network!
Giving #Cyberfacists not just the finger but shaft them so hard they'll be incapable of enforcing anything at all!

@[email protected] nicht nur dass es juristisch offen #verfassungsfeindlich ist, sondern was umso wichtiger ist, ist die #Undurchsetzbarkeit aktiv fördern und fordern. - Deshalb nutze ich auch #XMPP+#OMEMO & #PGP/MIME-verschlüsselte #eMails denn damit habe ich #SelfCustody über alle #Keys und muss nirgendwo #PII wie #Telefonnummer|n hinterlassen! Denn [wenn's hart auf hart kommt wird keiner]( https://web.archive.org/web/20220112020000/https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/1085614812581715968 ) bei @[email protected] seinen Kopf für Nutzer*innen hinhalten - auch nicht @[email protected] ... - Wohingegen bei @[email protected] / #monoclesChat, @[email protected] oder auch nur #eMail-Hostern keiner jene Kommunikation entschlüsseln kann weil diese nie die notwendigen (privaten!) Schlüssel erhielten und bei #monocles / https://monocles.eu mensch keinerlei persönliche Daten preisgeben muss! Somit kann mensch das eigene Recht, zu schweigen und sich selbst nicht zu belasten effektov ausüben, und das darf einem rechtsstaatlich nicht negativ ausgelegt werden!!!
@Mer__edith so will @signalapp stop collecting #PII like #PhoneNumbers and actively work towards making #compliance with such #cyberfacist demands impossible by truly #decentralizing and moving onto @torproject for it's infrastructure...
If not, why?
