If it's not #decentralized, #federated and #FLOSS it's not worthed. Like #Matrix or #XMPP, communications should not depend on a #SPOF in some #BigTech silo.

What a timing: while I'm sitting at a #CloudAbolition workshop, #AWS takes down major centralised services like #Signal, #WhatsApp and #Teams. People continue happily texting me on @[email protected] though 💚 :fedi:

@fdroidorg I agree, but where do you think many instances are hosted?

p2p is the best solution, but only if nodes are not all I hosted centrally.

@happyborg Do your research, as usual, choose with your feet. Think most want p2p to be here, now and working.

@fdroidorg You sound a bit rude (implying I'm ignorant - take a look at my profile). I did not mean to offend.

FYI I built FOSS that enables publishing of websites to a p2p network that can be displayed in a standard browser once you have downloaded a simple app. Try it, you might learn something 😉

I love and support FDroid BTW.

@happyborg The phrase "Do your own research" implies finding out where a certain service is hosted and judging by that, eg. If it's on AWS and you don't like Bezos, you'll decide to skip. It did not imply anything about anyone.

@fdroidorg Yeh right. No need to fall out over this but come on, how do you think someone saying "do your own research" comes across? I'll leave that for you to consider.

@happyborg @fdroidorg For P2P messaging, I personally like @cwtch. @briar is also a good choice if you want to use it on WLAN

@fdroidorg Signal is superior to XMPP and Matrix in many ways, in particular security. Of course, its lack of decentralization and reliance on not-so-cool service providers is definitely an issue, but that does not make it a worse or not worth option compared to XMPP and Matrix.
