Emails are still a BIG weak point - we still need to solve that... Suggestions?...
I guess the reader will know why having BigTech email is bad (for everyone, even your family)
So it's this basic thing that feels like it's the worst or even biggest solvable
Thoughts and suggestions how to solve for average person?
(Take their phone for 30mins and give them a new email?) ...where to go for email?
@freeschool Matrix.org
I replaced my calls, SMS and mail with it and can't be happier
If only GNU wasn't still in the stone age to use it as well
@kreyren Oh yeah, I agree things like #MATRIX / #XMPP / #IRC for the way!
Happy to hear better links than below...
-MATRIX SIGNUP?
https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now/
-IRC
https://libera.chat/
https://oftc.net/
-XMPP

Happy to hear better links than above...
@freeschool @kreyren If you are looking for XMPP providers https://providers.xmpp.net is a good start. For clients I recommend
Android -> Conversations
iOS -> @Monal
Linux -> @dino or @gajim Windows -> @gajim
@freeschool In terms of matrix i would just search for `matrix servver list` on searx as matrix is federated like mastodon to provide too many servers with different rules, backend, frontend and other options
Personally i find these the most descriptive:
* https://tatsumoto-ren.github.io/blog/list-of-matrix-servers.html
* https://www.hello-matrix.net/public_servers.php
Or you can run your own most of the backends are one-liner command to execute docker container
Personally:
i would recommend tchncs.de in terms of a homeserver
I do not recommend matrix.org (the homeserver ran by developers) as it has long downtimes due to too high of a user count and abusive rules (got banned for saying that the sysadmin is incompetent)
GNU logo mystery... tongue in cheek poke at GNU's logo - totally unobvious crazy unclear no?..
@kreyren Looks like GNU are getting up to speed and trying more... judging by a video (see previous post with according #GNU hashtags) and also enjoyed the speed of response I got after sending suggestions very recently...
BUT have to admit on the other side almost as a 'FIRST LOOK' that I was going to make a page / post about the GNU logo and how crazy it seems or would be to a new person... (I probably haven't got why totally or origins and expect things to hint what it is JUST A LITTLE BIT) ...
SO GNU's logo... doesn't it say 'steak house' more than anything else to a new person - that gets me fired up!... a logo you can't at all get first time in the right realm of visual or even approximately without any text (and then GNU next to it wouldn't help anyway)
So that's me sticking my neck out
while loving the rest! <3
lol
oh looks like I'm on a roll...
Wikipage doesn't say much about why this logo other than who made it... wonder if there are on the Fediverse..... and could mention why a goat / ram / cow / mountain mammal / smiling bull / billy goat .... is for the logo
oh joy come eat at our steak house
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU
And while I'm bitching
BIGBLUEBUTTON as a name...
<---- WHAT THE FUCK DOES BIGBLUEBUTTON DO ?
Summary - Name your shit A BIT functionally - I hope I eat my words and go to look up why things called themselves unobvious things or logos or software with AN ANIMAL HEAD... !!
<3 frees software by the way and all the hashtags
