Btw, I found WireMin is kind of interesting.

It’s an dapp, actually a decentralized social network, but more than Nostr, that’s how they described themselves. https://www.alchemy.com/dapps/wiremin

    Pretty wild to see misleading accusations from a proprietary Bittorrent-but-not-really social media network.

    It’s also violating the GPLv3 license by bundling mxlibs. Maybe the developers behind WireMin will give you the source code to their application if you email them, but I’m not so sure they care about things like licenses, going by the Derek Bailey clip they’ve embedded into the application as a notification sound. Using Microsoft Maps for showing location data (rather than an open project like a self-hosted Open Street Maps server) also doesn’t really match their privacy goals. The San Fransisco typeface they package with their app is also clearly a violation of Apple’s license.

    I can’t be bothered to check their encryption, but WireMin doesn’t seem all that great.

      I was gonna say I never heard of “dapp” before. Searched it and only crypto sites came up. I don’t even think I like the phrase “decentralized app” as it is being used.

        The concept in itself doesn’t sound too bad, it’s just that a multitude of the actual implementations don’t look very well meaning at all, just like NFTs. Somehow crypocurrency is able to attract both the best mathematicians and the worst scum looking to make a quick buck

    This is a bit too clever.

    Chrome is not selling your browsing history! It is creating profiles based on your interests from your browsing history which advertisers can then use to better target you.

      A privacy focused social media? Cuz if ‘just a chat app’, SimpleX or Session probably meets more

        But I mean, wiremin doesn’t actually appear to connect you to strangers. It seems like it just sets up private chat rooms from its description. I don’t see anyway that it publicly posts in a fashion that would appear on all WireMin users apps.

        Edit: it only seems to connect you to people you explicitly provide. So hence “chat app”.
