@wyatt same for #JitsiMeet if you want screensharing and goup videocalling.

• Instead of one #Bloatware like #discord that does everything but bad people should just embrace a mixed stack of smaller, more.efficient and more flexible tools instead.

@snugglybun all #disvord clones suck, because the concept of #discord sucks.

• Want public group chat? #IRC!
• Want public Voicechat? #Mumble!
• Want public Videocht? #JitsiMeet!
• Need Videocalling & File Transfer? #WebCall!
• Need something that also works great asynchronous? #Zulip (and #RocketChat)!
• Need secure comms? #XMPP+#OMEMO or #PGP/MIME (i.e. #gajim, #monoclesChat or #Thunderbird & #deltaChat)
• …

And the best part:

• All these things require less resources and can be #SelfHosted!

anyone have a workaround here?

@iuvi AFACT, #SSH-Tunneling works as means to circumvent #VPN blockades from both #Russia and "P.R." #China because they both need that for their own #CyberCrime and #IndustrialEspionage operations.

• Personally, I'd recommend to use @torproject / #Tor and #TorBridges, which you can get at http://yq5jjvr7drkjrelzhut7kgclfuro65jjlivyzfmxiq2kyv5lickrl4qd.onion & https://bridges.torproject.org respectably.
• Ideally make yourself a flashdrive with @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and use that as a more secure option once you got yourself a handful of obfs4 bridges.
  • If you have friends overseas, they may be willing to host a Private Tor Bridge just for you. Unlike an #ExitNode this won't tarnish said IP reputation due to #abuse nor do they have to trust you (unlike a privately setup VPN)…

#VPNs like @mullvadnet are more useful when you need #UDP traffic for #VideoCalling like #JitsiMeet & #WebCall or just #Streaming i.e. #IPTV…

• OFC neither Tor nor a #VPN protect you against targeted attacks, espechally in "meatspace" and you should assess your own security needs and demands carefully.
  • If you already got "love letters" from local authorities, expect to be on their shitlist!
  • Russia is known to deploy #Govware and when you face targeted surveillance against yourself individually you'd have to expect them to only wait for a reason to kick in your doors.

So I do hope you already use #Tor and/or #VPNs…

• OFC this is #NotLegalAdvice!
  • be careful...

@svhaag @debacle

I'm not sure if I understand, but my take is as follows:

1/2

#JitsiMeet:
If you want to use a different instance to https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/, many hosting providers run one. There used to be a list of public Jitsi Meet instances, but I can't find it now. This is a likely outdated archive, but many will still be available: https://web.archive.org/web/20240228144340/https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/community/community-instances/

edit: URL corrected

@ryusei well, #JitsiMeet offers #videocalling and #Screensharing.

- And that just works in-browser, no installation required on the user side!
