J'étais en train de traduire la phrase suivante dans la FAQ de @delta

"Puisque tous les membres d'une discussion ont les mêmes droits, les groupes fonctionnent mieux avec des **personnes de confiance et la famille**."

En vérité je peux témoigner d'un groupe d'inconnu⋅es avec 283 membres (annonces culturelles sur un territoire rural) qui fonctionne nickel, sans soucis de modération, depuis plus d'un an 🙂

#SIGNAL 🇺🇸 🚫
It is 🇺🇸 and requires a Phone Number. Metadata concerns. OpenSource but centralized. Warning: it uses "Big Tech" servers (Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, or Oracle). FREE & 100% Open Source BUT centralized on its own servers in the USA owned by big tech. It just takes any random blonde fascist pressing the red button and POOF you no longer have an app to chat with..

-----LONG EXPLANATION-----(long)

#SESSION 🇨🇭🔒️

The strength: Anonymity and Decentralization. Session is probably the most "hardcore" privacy option on this list. How it works: It doesn't use your phone number. It uses a decentralized network (Loki, similar to Tor) to hide your IP address and your geographical location. Messages are routed through multiple nodes (servers) scattered around the world, making it almost impossible to trace who is sending the message and who is receiving it..

I'm currently filling in for a colleague and suggested I take a look at open source on site. I showed #fdroid , #deltachat / #ArcaneChat , #simpmusic & of course #mastodon or #bluesky. People were really excited. You just have to show people the alternatives.
