All files stored on IPFS are public. It’s also incredibly slow and inefficient. You would be better off using BitTorrent.

They killed Cortana?

The NGO is a decoy organization with exactly the same people (minus one) as the VC funded startup. Go look at the “core spec team” and find out which organization they belong to.

Your information on XMPP seems to be quite outdated. File transfer in XMPP is now mostly done by uploading the file via HTTP and sending the URL. Audio calls are done using WebRTC and work two ways.

Telegram requires internet access and even worse, relies on a central server. It’s not a mesh network.

Every website has access to the password you use on that website. ALWAYS use unique and randomly generated passwords for every service.

“protocol extensions” (aka: incompatible)

Reality shows that implementations can very well implement the same extensions. If you don’t use extremely outdated clients you will find they do have compatible file transfer and A/V calls. ActivityPub works the same way.

Meanwhile Matrix Ltd. cooks up a completely new, incompatible protocol instead of building upon existing internet standards.

I don’t see the reason we need a venture capital funded bloated protocol anyways. Just switch to XMPP. It’s much more lightweight and it’s the internet standard for instant messaging.

Here is what I used before I switched to desec.io: https://gist.github.com/haansn08/50565768c66c5fbf382b2bc2484e8a41

tar + netcat are really nice. Not very secure but gets a folder from A to B using standard tools.

Or just have a bus factor greater than one.

feddit.uk seems to be online.

Please don’t get worked up over a 4chan post…

I will never use any instance that federates with instances that federate with instances not run by someone as a hobby. Imagine what could happen if they threaten us to defederate!

You’re not fooling anyone.

How do you know? We should fix this on the software level.

You can block the entire domain.

So we should defederate because we will have issues defederating due to the amount of content we lose? Isn’t that kind of self-contradictory?

I like your considerations, but there are no conclusions on how users/admins/developers should act to achieve this ideal state.

There should be an option to make posts instance-local for such things.

I don’t see any spam from threads.net.
