I can see from your sysadmin faggotry page that you guys are standing up a whole lot of alt-media instances, so hats off to that.
Session seems OK. Gets slow because it's fairly active but usable. Lokinet's shooting to be a faster tor but with crypto it seems. Not sold tbh. Why was the main dev sour on both?
But XMPP? No thanks. You can now put Jamal's dick back in your mouth.
@UncleIroh@kirby@charliebrownau@shortstories No, what the fuck? You're willing to show doubt to fucking matrix, which is plagued with issues (though I'll grant kikel money isn't one of them - matrix is, afterall, a specification. I can go and write a matrix server following that spec and in doing so I can guarantee there are no backdoors), but you're butthurt about xmpp because... Some people somewhere else that you don't like are using it? Show me on this diagram where the xmpp touched you inappropriately, son.
Glad you knocked out the dumb "kike money == bad open specification" argument.
The last desktop XMPP client I used look like dogshit and after trying a few servers, found it to be an utter wasteland. It also tried touching my no-no place.
Could someone ELI5 me how to get access to this? I have no clue, I'm on a Pinephone running Alpine Linux, so I'd need a terminal client of some kind. I was using gomuks for matrix for a awhile but it is buggy as shit.
@charlie_root@shortstories@charliebrownau@UncleIroh Yes. And some clients will ask you for a JID straight up without telling you what it is. It's just like fedi acct; username + server. I don't think finch does that though.
@shortstories@charliebrownau@UncleIroh@charlie_root *oh and you don't need to register on a webpage or whatever, you just set your username, password and server and connect and say "yes create account" and it does it.
It's a neat idea, but it reeks of techbro influence; they seem to be barking up completely the wrong tree. They have completely unrealistic understandings of what the attack vectors actually are. So I don't necessarily think it's bad, just that it's probably not all that private.

It is only possible if you use private communication platform that does not have access to your social graph. Like... Running your own server? The more I read of this the more is smells like normie-facing snake oil shit, which probably means honeypot.
I'm aware of who ToB's are. The audit looks good tbh. Literally nothing in that report that worries me.
I love that it's written in Haskell, and I like that it has a typescript sdk. i like that is has a dedicated terminal CLI too. and most of all i like that id's are as quick, disposable or permanent as you want them to be.
And here your are with a hardon for pidgin. GTFO and wait your turn on the rusty pole. Goblin's almost done.
