@zbrown Anything is better than nothing (which is how it is now). Communicating how long something will take can be done by plain text, a progress bar animation, or progressive loading. Even if the splash screen says "Loading" in plain text, that communicates more of what's going on to the user than a static app icon or throbber does.

@agx @agx Splash screens aren't very useful as they don't communicate anything to the user other than "something happened". We realized this is bad UX in web design decades ago. If it can't be instant, tell the user how long it will take.

How safe it is to use Delta Chat? Nothing has changed about our stance to user data: we don't have it, not even encrypted, and also no traffic data. Nada. Nothing. Nilch. You insist? Please refer to any of the hundreds of thousands of e-mail servers. Cheers to decentralization :)

@aspie4K @calculsoberic@mstdn.social What's wrong with Keepass? The reason I switched to that is because there are tons of client programs available for every platform imaginable.

@fsfi Why not use email? It has the advantage of working on practically everything with internet access and also a 4 billion person user base. It CAN be secured and can have a chat style interface.

@jaywink Email should probably be in the list of federated services there. It's been an "instant" messaging service for a while and has about 4 billion users.

@kura @p I was thinking a multi-user public hosting instance. I've seen hosting for other types of fediverse instances, but haven't seen Pixelfed yet and I think that's the one I might like.

@p Do you know anyplace that hosts Pixelfed instances?

@Qato I like spam musubi, but I don't know about this.

@grin @Doudouosm I think only 3 of those are decentralized, no? The Fediverse ones.

RT @ModeledBehavior@twitter.com

Only 22% of adults use Twitter. In contrast almost every house has a TV. The idea that there is some monopoly over access to the public here is really not compelling. Maybe you spend too much time on Twitter if you think that.

If someone says or does something hurtful on the Fediverse, you can control who you interact with by using blocks and mutes.

โœ… On Mastodon, click "..." underneath a person's message to mute or block them. Muting means you won't see them any more but they will still see you. Blocking means you won't see them and they won't see you.

You can also use "Block Domain" which blocks everyone who is on the same instance as the person you are blocking.
