I still dont understand why we need bluesky.
Sure, but people should know they are being monitored by the Saudis, and Telegram should not be used for anything sensitive. They pretend to be a secure privacy respecting platform, but they are practicing mass surveillance and censorship.
It already exists.
Without the wall.
Not really. At least WhatsApp is End to end encrypted by default and Telegram is not. Use Signal instead.
Maybe the solarpunk instance is for you. Solarpunk tend left leaning anarchists.
There are already some big groups on Simplex. I haven’t used it much, so I don’t know how well it works. But it seems easy enough to use.
You are right, Matrix saving a lot of metadata. A better choice would probably be Simplex Chat. It seems to be build with privacy in mind. https://simplex.chat/
They cant do that if it’s end to end. That’s the point. Your messages is encrypted before they reach the server. On the other hand Telegram has access to all your group messages and their admins and business partners can read everything. The reason end to end encryption is important is that you don’t have to trust the server. But with Telegram it’s “totally secure, trust us, bro”.
I don’t think so. Telegram channels are not end to end encrypted. Telegram doesn’t support this very basic feature. Matrix rooms can support end to end encryption.
If we don’t care about security and privacy, why not just use Discord? It’s basically the same thing.
Leaving would also leave room for competitors to grow big. The market is still there and if American companies won’t deliver other companies will.
Maybe make it a non-profit like Signal. As soon as the motivation is maximising share holder values, the goal becomes to extract as much value out of the customers. And effective dating apps should not want their customers to return. It’s a conflict of interest.
Well it already works and has been since 2019. Personally I prefer to keep communication within the app at least until the first date. But 10 euro for at date and a drink is reasonable for most people. I think it’s a nice service that the app setup the date and streamlines the important part. Tinder streamline the non-crucial part of just browsing people. Tinder is not really solving a dating problem, it’s solving a social validation problem.
I think it’s Dutch, but has recently expanded to Berlin. The scaling of the concept is probably a bit slow, since they need to partner up with local bars for the concept to work. But better slow and working than fast and predatory like Tinder. Instead of Silicon Valley’s “move fast and break things (and people)” maybe move slow and heal things are a better approach.
It definitely helped my life with new ideas, good friends and a better career. It’s also free in my country, and you actually get paid to go there, so it was never a difficult decision.
I think Breeze is onto something. You only pay for actual date you go on. It has some deal with bars and cafes and you pay 10 euro and the app set up a date and the first drink is included. You are also only ever exposed to a very limited numbers of potential dates. It’s not available in my country, so I haven’t tried it.
Very few apps. I’m just trying to encrypt as much as possible, because I think the most important thing is to stay in control of my information. Hopefully a proper Linux phone will emerge at some point. I have experimented with the Pinephone and it’s promising, but there is still a lot of work to do.
I had a time where I had to make new friends in a new city, and what I learned is that you have to take initiative a lot in the beginning of a new friendship. You have to suggest something to do together maybe the first 2 - 4 times. After some time it should be more equal if not find some other friends.
