These are upvotes and downvotes. I doubt views are logged anywhere, apart from the webserver.
Why are you selecting for long names? 😅
Makes sense. I also use all kinds of messengers. But it just so happens that the people I communicate with the most also use Signal 😁
Big true! I’m actually spending most of my time on Lemmy down in the comment section 😁
Imo, Reddit has no moat. Twitter’s only moat is community notes. In principle, community notes could be replicated and scaled to the size of the internet, adding comments to any arbitrary link and run like Wikipedia.
In terms of an optimal load spread, it’s best if the lemmiverse is split into multiple equally sized instances. If you use an instance just for yourself, it doesn’t actually decrease the load on the main servers in any way. The only thing you get is a guarantee that your instance won’t suddenly go down.
I’m particularly interested in things like Arweave. Smart contracts are cool too, though, to be actually useful, governments need to embrace them.
You did see this coming, but I don’t understand why people associate Telegram with security in any way. It openly states that it’s not end to end encrypted and everything is visible to the server! And if you enable end to end encryption for a particular chat, its functionality is severely restricted.
Are there any people left who use just 1 app for messaging? There’s WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Signal, Telegram, Viber, WeChat, Snapchat, Discord, Slack, Line, etc, etc. And these are just the main ones.
For one on one chats and group chats, Signal and Telegram have about the same experience. Telegram’s main feature, imo, is the public channels.
I’d be fine with using it as my messenger of choice if they open sourced it and allowed us to run our own servers
The main problem with XMPP is that there is literally no clients with good UI.
Looks like it’s in the plans, by default. All good.
Wait, there doesn’t seem to be any encryption in Revolt. 🤔
Hmmm… Looks good! I’ll keep an eye on it.
Are you fundamentally against crypto? Not all crypto are scams.
