Librem One is amazing and I love that you are running a well managed set of services that add to the nice decentralized adventure we have been rebuilding for a couple of years.
But please do not market yourselves as the only alternative, which only contributes to greater centralization. And please, please credit the great projects that you are using to build One :)
@purism
As an example, your homepage is pretty long, it includes screenshots, press releases, even comparison charts that acknowledge Facebook, Google, and pretty much all the providers we fight against.
At the same time, I did not find a single mention about Riot, Synapse, Mastodon, or any of the tools One is based on. No mention of the thousands hosting services ran by nonprofits or individuals either, the "other" column in your charts seem to only promote Snapchat or Twitter.
@purism
Please keep up with the amazing work, but please also think about how the issues I point out can be interpreted as :
- a lack of transparency about what you are running and how
- a lack of respect for the projects your services rely on
- a lack of consideration for the thousands fellow hosters that run the federated networks your services are a part of
- an invitation to create another centralized hosting service bound to a device manufacturer.
@purism Any plans providing Librem Chat on F-Droid?
