I thought it was the hateful political party the Economic Freedom Fighters, who chant things like “Kill the Boer” at their rallies

7·1 month agoSounds like a decentralized encrypted messaging platform is needed.
And when you need the highest trust, you just need to make sure you and the people you are talking to are all on trusted servers.
so governments would use their own gov.eu server or something, and only communicate sensitive info to others on that network so the info never leaves that server

1·2 months agoThat is probably true, I do wish for a future where people can migrate to say https://www.eurosky.tech/ and alternatives, while benefiting from having so many users already

101·2 months agoI’d also like this, but I feel you’ll get pushback against this on the Fediverse
Perhaps it’s a feature instance’s can set as default or not themselves

14·2 months agoNo, that’s why I said it’s technically decentralized.
They have 40 million users though, they focused on UX first, and will now hopefully not be dicks and actually become decentralized

271·2 months agoI think we should just hide all of that complexity and just set defaults for everything that the user can decide to change if they want. You don’t have to understand how the Fediverse works to be able to use it. Most people don’t understand how email works, they just use it.
BlueSky has 40+ million users, and it’s also technically decentralized like the Fediverse.
aka. you can use the eurosky.social or bluesky.social server etc.

46·2 months agoText posts simply don’t get the same message across though, which is why they aren’t as effective.
You can communicate a LOT more info in a short time-span with a image.
Do you NEVER watch movies because books exist?
