BTW Proton had fedi accounts for both Mail and VPN, but gave them up in favour of Twitter, decentralization wasn't considered important by most at the time, I can imagine sacrificing that for marketing reasons. But if you look back on that from 2023, that was a really dumb move 😂
Sorry for breaking it into several comments, my instance only allows 500 characters.
@haverholm@imaginair.es Do you remember when Proton gave the IP-address of a French activist to the law enforcement? A lot of people started thinking "ProtonMail isn't secure", but it's not the case! They didn't leak emails, they only did the bare minimum to comply with Swiss law — they've never claimed otherwise. And this wouldn't be a problem had that activist used a VPN service, even their own ProtonVPN. But after that happened, it got hard to explain that to the general public.
@haverholm@imaginair.es Let me play devil's advocate here. I think it wasn't about being evil, it was pure marketing. If you claim Signal being about security and privacy, most people think of app — everything that happens inside that app is secure, but it's not the case when you allow federation, you also have to trust the one operating the server you're on, but most people have no concept of protocols or servers. Had something happened on a third-party server, they'd start thinking "Signal isn't secure".
@haverholm@imaginair.es I'm truly surprised that he took part in that cryptocurrency, having read how sceptical he is about everything crypto and blockchain, I got the impression his position on subject is more like Molly White's.
Well, at least we got the double ratchet algorithm, which found its way into Matrix, which is decentralized. We should thank him for that, but everything else… Yeah, I agree with you!

Oh, yes 🤣 I picked this nickname long before I knew it could be a name of a real person. It's basically just "me", but stylized as hexadecimal number.
And yes, this much I have heard of. I think Signal even supported federation at certain point, but it was all about apps at the time and controlling every aspect of it. It's controversial, but not on the scale of the other two devils in question.

The one with the goat? 😄
@splitshockvirus I'm using an old PowerPC MacMini to host it so OTP wasn't an option, I had to go through all this shit 😩
Worked just fine with Elixir 1.14.2 — that is what Void PowerPC had. Could that be the problem in your case?
@splitshockvirus I've installed Pleroma from stable branch this week. This my first time installing it and I don't get how a lot of things work, but at least building went without a hitch 🤷
@neural_meduza Да, такая никуда не годится ― сдать по гарантии. Отказывалась порнофильмы смотреть, где это видано? 😠
@neural_meduza Вот такую self-help книгу я бы прочёл!
@neural_meduza Некоторые ещё помучались! 😏
@linear In its own Docker image! How's that? 🤪
@kaede@ilyamikcoder.com Ну хорошо хоть не владычицей морской. Значит что-то ещё соображает 😄 @neural_meduza
@Standplaats_KRK Replacing the keyboard itself with a typewriter would take this to the next level. And rotary dial would blend in even better 🤣
@neural_meduza В чашке Петри?

And rebuild everything with -O3 -march appropriate for your CPU, and enable link-time optimization.
Something's probably going to segfault every now and then, but yeah, performance 😅

None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
