Isn’t Signal E2E encrypted? How would it be able to decrypt them?

But then what’s the benefit to Signal? Just that it’s decentralized?

I’m confused - I have a catch all alias, so anything @mydomain will work. Is there any reason I’d care about syncing these aliases?

Big creators make a ton of money from their videos. I’m fine with the Fediverse adding ads, or creators doing sponsorships. We need a separation of concerns. Fediverse is removing centralized corporate control.

We need a way to get good content creators money on the Fediverse.

IMO a very small amount of storage should be free but after that the user needs to pay. It’s the right thing to do for hosts and for the environment. If content creators need massive amounts of video then that will incentivize them to make money on it.

The only people left out are small, niche channels that have quality or important content but don’t make much money. Maybe they could be cut special deals by the hosts / donors.

But then how do you make money with a browser if you aren’t getting Google money and don’t spy on users?

Sounds like you want PipeWire - not related to a specific distro.

Yep, I got a post deleted by a mod here who also is a mod on Reddit. I was criticizing Proton, but they removed it for “trolling”. I messaged them explaining it was not trolling and asked politely for an explanation, but got no response.

Pretty sad and ironic that Proton needs to censor criticism like this.

Doesn’t Fediverse mean “these applications can federate with each other”? How would you federate with Lemmy without ActivityPub?

If there are multiple protocols, then that defeats the entire purpose of a protocol. If Matrix and ActivityPub are in the Fediverse, then Facebook and Twitter should be, too.

Facebook can’t talk with Twitter, so they aren’t federated with each other. Same goes for ActivityPub and Matrix. Fediverse doesn’t mean “has a federated protocol”. It means “these applications are federated with each other” (from what I understand).

The Fediverse uses the ActivityPub protocol. This allows everything in it to communicate with each other. Lemmy can’t communicate with Matrix since Matrix is a different protocol.

For Google, nothing is too dumb! Not even joking. They’re absolute trash nowadays at almost everything they do, even for normal / startup standards.

Did someone just slap this together by copying and pasting an asterisk three times? I know we’re an open source, nerdy community but could we hire a graphic designer?

Blech

What’s better about Summit?

The main thing keeping my partner from leaving Big Tech services is that Proton Calendar and other basic functionality sucks balls. The pricing plan is great but for the love of God, fix the basics and stop with all the new nonsense like AI and crypto.

Very weird that birthdate is an arbitrary text field. No way to know what format to put it in, so Proton doesn’t know how to parse it.

Which I’m really confused about. They have a LOT of paying users. They must be able to afford good devs. Where is all this money going? I want to see a breakdown of their expenses. That might not be outside the realm of reality now that they’re a nonprofit.
