Flatpak and snaps are way to slow.. I'm trying to write down down things before work and no...

Is there an equivalent to #yunohost,that offers a "click to play" selfhosted server for #bigbluebutton?

I took the #signal downtime as an opportunity to appreciate what’s happening here. Millions around the world are making a choice for more privacy. And let’s be honest: every single tech company would come to a grinding halt under that kind of increase in load. We’re talking about well over 1500% in just a few days. I feel for the devops now working their asses off to get things back up. Set up a recurring donation now! I don’t even want to imagine the figure on their next aws bill...

#Matrix (synapse) and #Element (web) are now working on #Freedombone Bullseye

#signal is down.

Hopefully this just signals a bunch more users.

@Hamishcampbell @bob You could have a chat compass. Centralized/decentralized on one axis, Open/Closed on the other.

Centralized/Closed: WhatsApp, Telegram
Centralized/Open: Signal, Jitsi, BBB, RocketChat (maybe)
Decentralized/Closed: Pre-Microsoft Skype
Decentralized/Open: Matrix, XMPP, SSB

@techit nope. I'm sure it's because so many people jumped ship from WhatsApp
