@cryptpad Now that even the united nations has moved away MAYBE furry cons could consider it, too. But that's probably too much to ask.

@cryptpad When I click on the link in the article I get "This account was deleted because of inactivity"?

@gendor hello, probably your account when the web browser tried to log you in? Try in a private window?

In any case, the form they made is working and accessible.

@cryptpad I see, thanks for checking. It does indeed work in a private window. I cleared out some CryptPad cache files in my browser's local storage and now it works there as well. I have to admit, that was a bit of a confusing user experience! 😉

@gendor glad to know it works now. We'll take note of your feedback! Thanks and have a great day. :)

@cryptpad
Yeah, that‘s a step in the right direction.
But why TF are the links on the UN site over google.com?

@jj

Agreed that the bug tracker for decontamination of the unite.un.org website needs items such as:
* remove dependences on:
* googletagmanager.com
* fonts.googleapis.com
* gstatic.com
* jsdelivr.net
* cloudflare.com

Anyone know where the bug tracker is? Any UN geeks on Fedi?

Yes I have, in fact we've used CryptPad forms for our last few signon letters!

I also mentioned CryptPad as an alternative to Google Docs and Google Drive in the "organizing on decentralized social networks" session I did -- see the image for a summary (from https://thenexusofprivacy.net/notes-on-organizing-in-the-fediverses/#additional-topics)

@Em0nM4stodon's article for @privacyguides has a deep dive on the whole suite at https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/02/07/cryptpad-review/

@Olyindivisible @cryptpad

Notes (and thoughts) on organizing in the fediverses and the ATmosphere

Some potential paths forward -- but the landscape is complicated.

@cryptpad A switch from Google-anything to European OSS-anything must be a good thing, regardless of OSS 😊 🇪🇺

Congratulations! 🤘

@cryptpad great! I am already using CryptPad as well. Only if the usage on mobile devices to view/edit table spreadsheets (trying not to say e*cel) could be improved, that‘d mean an ever greater step forward 🙏🏼
