#Discord alternative, #Fluxer released their beta of their mobile apps today. But what they also released was their server files, so you can now #selfhost a server, which is pretty neat. https://docs.fluxer.app/operator/get-started/

I know many people who are aware of the importance of #FreedomRespecting software, data, and culture - and the related issues of digital sovereignty and privacy.

Paradoxically, a lot of these people also participate in, or even maintain, communities hosted on #nonfree / #proprietary / #restricted or #centralized platforms like #Telegram, #Discord, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Instagram, #Facebook, #Twitter, #LinkedIn, #Bluesky, #GitHub, and others.

To state the obvious, each community which chooses a proprietary platform - or bridges to it - is also giving another reason for others to be on that platform. It’s reinforcing network effect.

Conversely, if these communities chose to move to free platforms, their members would be forced to move as well. In other words, these communities have the opportunity to push for change on a massive scale.

Sure, you have to reach out to people on proprietary platforms, if that’s where the majority are. But you cannot be stopping there - you must have a strategy to move people away from proprietary platforms to free platforms.

To give the example of #OpenStreetMap -

  • I announce events on free platforms sooner
  • I remind people on proprietary platforms that they should join the free platforms to get notified earlier
  • After each event, we invite people to our #XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
  • All organizational talk takes place on our XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
  • I minimize my participation on proprietary platforms, and communities which bridge to them. The bulk of my activity happens on free platforms.
  • I have never submitted data to Mapillary or KartaView, because their clients and servers are proprietary. All my contributions go to #WikimediaCommons and #Panoramax.

So to the people who are choosing - and therefore promoting - proprietary platforms, I ask…

How do you think things are going to change, if everyone keeps choosing what is easiest for them, and keeps choosing, supporting, and promoting proprietary platforms?

What part are you playing in making things better? Or are you just going to go with the flow of the world, even if you know it to be wrong?

They don’t like answering these questions, but I invite them to find the integrity and courage to answer them all the same.

Or, to find the integrity and courage to make the obvious change and do the obvious right thing.

People hate it when I bring this up. Sorry, but my conscience dictates that I speak up for what is right. Silence is complicity, and it gets us nowhere.

I don't know how well E2EE will benefit me if they are trying to surveil me in other ways. Discord now has end-to-end encryption on all calls - Engadget https://www.engadget.com/2177277/discord-now-has-end-to-end-encryption-on-all-calls/ #Discord #E2EE #Encryption #Security #Privacy #Tech #Gaming

Soooo #discord will soon force people to age verify for nsfw channels. I also own multiple discord bots and i hit the 100 server now you need to hand over your ID thing. Yea no. I will not KYC myself on such an insecure platform that does not care about user safety amd recently even leaked user ID's in a breach of their zendesk support form. No thanks. What alternative are you using? Please hit me up. For dm's or groups i use signal, but for voice calls or servets i still need a replacement. #ageverification #kyc

oof, #Discord is blocking VPNs a bit more now. I just received the generic "this message could not be delivered, click here for possible reasons" because I was connected to a VPN. I had to drop the VPN to respond to my friend. 😮‍💨

Discord cuts ties with Peter Thiel-backed verification software after its code was found tied to US surveillance efforts

Discord cuts ties with Peter Thiel-backed verification... #surveillance #theil #discord #persona #privacy #spying #panopticon #dystopia Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
Discord cut ties with its age-verification partner after exposed code fueled federal-reporting concerns, months after a breach hit 70,000 users.

The signup workflow for my Matrix instance is giving even my more technically adept friends issues. I shouldn’t have to also host a wiki for people that work with technology to be able to use my instance. That and the fact that Matrix was born out of the IDF have just soured me on the whole thing. I’m probably going to scrap it and give Fluxer a try next. #matrix #fluxer #discord

The Discord account of a friend of mine got stolen by someone linking them a "space game." Apparently that game, when downloaded will take over your Discord account. So as usual, don't download random things. But just wanted to share this in case anyone else encounters it. #Discord

Anyone else on #Discord seeing this "network error" message when connected to a VPN? I'm seeing this on some VPN servers, whilst not on others. In the past, they've semi-blocked VPN connections such that I could connect to Discord, but could not retrieve messages in neither DMs nor servers. But, now I'm seeing this when connected to certain VPN servers. Seeing this message when connected to a VPN is new for me as of today.

RE: https://mementomori.social/@mustikkasoppa/116147731051362214 Löysin uuden omistajan ja nyt pääsin deaktivoimaan tilini. Se poistunee itsekseen ajan myötä. Omistajuuden siirto oli helppo toimenpide. #Discord

Poistin tänään yhden Discord palvelimen käytöstä ja samalla tarkoituksena deaktivoida käyttäjätili. Tulikin vastaa ongelma. Omistan toisen, isomman, palvelimen ja oon jumissa sen omistajuudessa. Toivon että joku siellä ottaa omistajuuden vastaan. #Discord

discord:

  • preparing for age verification
  • centralized
  • no e2ee
  • monitored platform
  • surveillance-ridden
  • forced phone number validation

deltachat/chatmail:

  • no logs
  • e2ee
  • decentralized
  • federated
  • relay-swapping
  • multi-relay (become unstoppable!)
  • no tracking
  • relay operators see nothing
  • no surveillance

the #deltachat and #chatmail teams are hard at work improving our ecosystem, client ui/ux, and building community!

It's kind of hard to take a 'please believe us, we're the good guys' post from the same people who thought it was a cool idea to work with anything Peter Thiel has anything to do with, seriously. I'm just saying. https://discord.com/blog/getting-global-age-assurance-right-what-we-got-wrong-and-whats-changing #Discord #SelfHostingTime

Tonight’s Spaces status:

  • Numerous stability fixes ✅
  • Notifications are properly working ✅
  • Admins can set admin/member role to user users ✅

There is still some notifications feature to be done… and stability improvement and I think I’ll be good to merge a first preview of the Spaces in Movim 👀 Interested to try it out ?

I repeat that everything done so far works on a standard #ejabberd #XMPP server without any specific hack. It is just very basic MUC + Pubsub XMPP put together so it should work “out of the box” (minor a small config to declare where the Spaces are created) to work ✨

Stay tuned 😸!

Ok just have to figure out what it takes to get Matrix Authentication Services up and going. Sync works, Federation works, signups, captcha, all the rest. From what I can tell MAS will at least make getting the mobile apps going less of a hassle. #matrix #discord #element

I’m an admin on a pretty large and very active Discord server but we’ve spent the weekend getting a new self hosted Matrix instance setup. Things are mostly working so far. Having some issues with device registration on mobile and user sync ATM but signups are working and the bones of the services seem to be all functional. I’ll be getting our server sync scripts running this week to start syncing the Discord and Matrix instances to fully pave the migration path. We plan on likely shutting the Discord down at the end of March if everything goes well. #matrix #discord #element
