#Keet & #Holepunch @holepunch_to teams- following up from yesterday:

Pragmatically, I'll still use your software (though it makes trusting proprietary modules feel even more sketchy tbh). Yours is probably the one #TechnoFascist project I'm aware of that actually has good code & UX. And it's self sovereign, so.

If your response goes further into a downward spiral of innocense & virtue instead of some amends, accountability and recovery, I'll just do what we're doing for #Holochain. Authoring politically assertive #governance processes around my collective's & partnership's use of their software, explicitly calling out the harm and creating guardrails to prevent any upstream contributions (intellectual, social or otherwise). And then we'll open source those docs, surface them everywhere, and make them easily adoptable & forkable.

[me]: I have to say, on a political note, I find the #Keet marketing of "The chat app for #FreeSpeech" to be quite triggering. That's far-right messaging, folks; and you're attracting the wrong crowd with it. 'Free Speech' tends toward '#HateSpeech' pretty much every time.
What about "The chat app for oppressed minorities" or "The chat app for marginalised communities"?

woah 😯 the #Keet community's response to cultural commentary is INTENSE.

I'm out. Fix your shit & release an official statement, #BigTent #OpenSource #fascists.

See Keet official "#Pear Community" group for the crazy.

@powersource yeah, I'm not talking about switching 🙂 I'm talking about backup resilient comms infrastructure. (And knowing you, maybe you're talking about #Scuttlebutt when you're talking about "switching", so 100% good point there with equivalence to #Keet- both are DHT-based handshake protocols that end in gossip peering; and one is OSS but the other is not.)

@racchio I don't know much about #Nostr, other than that it's a fascist-run project with a disastrous cultural history. But yes, #Keet is for IM and runs fully decentralised.

(I'm going to use that word rather than "distributed" as the architecture *does* actually facilitate the distribution of power as well as of compute & storage. It's also built by a pretty cool community of anarchists & anarcho-syndicalists, at least the ones I've met.)

To everybody currently experiencing the #Signal messenger downtime and precariousness of digital infrastructure that relies on servers, know that #Keet exists! It can preserve network connectivity and message deliverability in very degraded and hostile network conditions due to the absence of servers in its #p2p architecture.

The world needs resilient communications for what is to come. Don't let your whole network depend on one company.

Keet - The Peer to Peer Chat App

Keet is a peer-to-peer chat application that allows users to communicate directly with each other. 100% end-to-end encrypted. Never on a server.

@drahardja @anji to your point about OSS #UX, #Keet's is actually quite good IMO (though it is not yet open-sourced); and the onboarding is much smoother than it used to be (although initial sync of the app data still takes a little while).

Meets the #Discord crowd's needs of video & audio chat in large groups, which AFAIK #Matrix does not.

Интересно, как этот Peer-to-peer будет работать в условиях ТСПУ хотя бы без полного чебурнета.
Вроде как не требуется регистрация. Клиент есть и для десктопа и для iOS/Android.

I watched an episode of Headline Humboldt from KEET in Eureka, CA recently and was struck at how informative it was about what’s behind addiction for some folks. Like a light bulb click kind of moment. These PBS stations are such a wealth of knowledge and not segueing to sponsor segments—it’s refreshing.

Support your local public broadcasting station or maybe a smaller one with a lot less resources.
