Now I have #mastodon, #email and #matrix in #emacs. Funny how communications on computers are easier to focus on without all the intense animations, colors and ads. I feel much more relaxed and ready to work when it's all texted based.
If that is not happening, then why, what is stopping you?
The (wrong and silly) assumption that everyone must use Google/Apple phones is expected from Big Tech these days but you are supposed to be among the good guys. Please help us be free from Google/Apple 🙂
Note, that not everyone limits the use of the term #fediverse to the AP protocol. Many apply it to AP, Diaspora, Matrix, #XMPP, etc. After all, communication between the "sub-federations" is possible.
#YunoHost devs are testing#Prosody as #xmpp#jabber replacement for metronome to get better integration with the system and better compliance with jabber standards. Also new default features as A/V calls.
Hmm, after having #nextcloud run on my #rpi for a bit I noticed I really don't need it. (Because the video chat just doesnt work as it should).
Maybe I'll just reset the rpi again and focus on some leaner system.
Maybe I'll try with #xmpp this time. Have to check if that has good voice and screenshare options right now. And maybe a web interface.
I haven't really done anything with that for a decade.
An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse#meta#threads
@liaizon Personally, and the way the term was used, since it was first coined, was any software with #OStatus support (later #ActivityPub).
When there were discussions of having a new name, I ran suggestion threads and polls about it, and one suggestion/choice was mycelial, mycelium. I like it so I started using it myself.
W nowym dużym wydaniu eJabberD 24.02 udostępniono możliwość logowania do serwerów Matrix. Tak oto nieco starszy świat otwartej zdecentralizowanej komunikacji spotyka się z tym młodszym:
"🌐 Matrix #Federation Unleashed: Wyobraź sobie płynne łączenie się z serwerami Matrix – teraz jest to możliwe! #ejabberd otwiera nowe możliwości w komunikacji międzyplatformowej, wspierając bardziej połączony świat wiadomości. Mamy jeszcze trochę do nadrobienia i w tym celu czekamy na Twoją opinię."
"sms4you forwards messages from and to SMS and connects either with sms4you-xmpp or sms4you-email to choose the other mean of communication. Nice for receiving or sending SMS, independently from carrying a SIM card."
A few months ago, I persuaded a client to abandon an external cloud system and use Nextcloud on their own server instead. Powered by FreeBSD and ZFS, it has already demonstrated its strengths on a couple of occasions (such as in the case of a snapshot rollback). This morning, they expressed the desire to abandon the various WhatsApp groups they use for coordination and to use a solution "all on their servers." I was inspired and quickly installed both an ejabberd and a Matrix server (Synapse) - which they will probably prefer, according to the latest news they sent me - on two FreeBSD jails.
Today, we have the awareness and experience of what it means to give our data to large companies, completely losing control over it. We have the tools, so why not use them?
And I'm really happy when someone like them, thanks to their willingness to try "new" solutions, realizes the alternatives to the colorful, advertised, warmly recommended (by salespeople) "proprietary" solutions.
