Well, our TikTok got shut down.....again I dont know how we can get so many community guidelines violations when we just post about our plants and our Virtual Farmers Market. But hey, thats why we started using #decentralized and #opensource platforms like this one. #mastodonapp

Back in NYC and so glaaad for the spring springing! LA at CEDAR-Sinai brought an out of body experience with Dr @brennanspiegal 's KEYNOTE and then some super stim community building with #hylo OAK, #HPEC and #decentralized #privacy edu. ROCK on Silicon Valley but I am glad to be back in Silicon Alley!

"Protecting #democracy from threats created by Internet #platforms is a laudable goal. But it is not worth the cost imposed by legislative attempts so far: empowering the government to control legal speech online. Lawmakers’ attempts to impose their own top-down speech rules are particularly unwarranted given the far more promising possibilities offered by #usercontrolled and #decentralized #contentmoderation systems."

I said it before on Mastodon. I'm reposting this again. Comparing #DeltaChat and #Matrix together, if you want hassle free and consistent messenger for private #E2EE chats, don't go for Matrix. DeltaChat is way better.

However, if you want something like a public forum, or a public chatroom, don't go for DeltaChat. Matrix is way better suited for that. And DeltaChat does not support public groups at all. In DeltaChat groups, there is no admin or moderator and everyone have got permission to remove or add the others.

I think I have to write a longer post on my personal blog about these two, comparing them together.

PS: Another Matrix encryption bug few minutes ago triggered repost of this.

If #Signal and #Gmail are not sufficient for #Republicans to use for #American #Government #Communications, should you use them?

we’ve published a new video explaining the architectural backbone of pavilion network.
p2p network design, distributed databases, ai-guided curation, and blockchain anchoring — it’s all in there.

this is how we’re building a future where platforms are no longer in control — people are.

Movim offers a feature-packed social and chat alternative to the big centralized and proprietary platforms.

It is decentralized, fully built on the #XMPP Internet standard and can easily be deployed on a simple web server.

Which social or chat platform do you think Movim replaces the best?

#alternative #madeineurope #decentralized @european_alternatives

Anybody know of a good alternative to #matrix for #e2ee #decentralized chat?

Consieering #xmpp again. Have tried #jami

#matrix is pretty good but maintaining it is more hassle than I'd like, and my local users don't really benefit from the #federation aspect much.

Just shopping I guess

#ActivityPub & #ATProto

We're helping people join the open social web.

By showing them that they can:
- Own their community
- Escape the billionaires
- Rediscover what makes social good

What else should we tell them about the open social web? Why do you love it?
