@annmygdala I’ve written a fair bit about fighting network effect in the IM space. By boycotting all #proprietary and #centralized platforms - #WhatsApp, #Telegram, #Discord, #Signal, etc - I’ve managed to bring over a hundred people to #XMPP all by myself. Now, if only more people were doing the same…

@dgar Love the variety of synonyms for "died" 😆

Lessons to be learned -
• Boycott #proprietary software - use #FreedomRespecting software (a.k.a. #Libre / #OpenSource / #FreeSoftware) which is free of corporate control, and
• Boycott #centralized services - use #federated services so you aren't locked into one service.

#XMPP is still around, and thriving.

@adisonverlice I think that's dangerous disinfo as @torproject actively works against attempts to fingerprint and track #Tor users.

  • I do consider Tor more private than any #VPN simply becaise they can neither ban users nor identify them.

In fact, Tor has been designed with the explicit goal to circumvent #Firewalls and #InternetCensorship methods like #DeepApcketInspection.

As a matter of principle I'd never vouch for any #centralized, #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider solution of any kind, including #Session.

  • Tor is sufficiently decentralized in that it is not only completely #OpenSource but has proven to not have SPOFs in the form of maintainers and is able to yeet proplematic folks (unlike #WikiLeaks!)…

For #Discord, the end-times are sooner than we think.

With the pickup of Ex-Activision Exec Humam Sakhnini, you know, the Call of M̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ Duty publisher, as CEO of Discord, we can effectively say "goodbye" to what Discord is, and "hello" to the complete #enshittification of a service marching headfirst into #IPO.

Sorry ya'll, but we're due to move off another #centralized place we love if we care about the services we get. And it sucks, because Discord has a good UX.

@lukadjo @ApAlun @Crispius @fedilore @freeagent @vfrmedia

just an idea

(not an original one):

the problem with #algorithms on #centralized #socialMedia is that they can be manipulated

on the #fediverse why not have a menu of #openSource algorithms that anyone can write (audited so they are genuinely manipulation-free)?

people can freely choose one, and they can sink into their #algorithm stupor

if that's what they want

is there harm in that?

i'm not saying they *have* to do that
