Hold up ... read my edit at the bottom.

Hey!

Yeah you, Jitsi!

WTF, people?

Why do I need to sign in with my Google or GitHub account (spoiler: I have neither, and it's gonna stay that way), to use #Jitsi ... which is, at least nominally, a #FOSS service?

This used to be a good project.... What happened?

.....

Edit: Okay, it's not Jitsi, exactly ... it's only the default instance, meet.jit.si which is hosted by Jitsi ... and their explanation is shifty and evasive, but may in fact be some kind of NSL or belated Warrant Canary warning, or something.

All that said, it's hard to find alternate hosts, but I did find this.

Good hunting, people.

Arrêt de Skype : quelles alternatives ?
Skype va couper, Chérie...

Microsoft annonce1 l'arrêt de Skype en mai 2025. Un outil encore utilisé par grand nombre de personnes, y compris sous "Linux". Mais cela ne doit pas instiller, dans la Cité, de la peur. C'est au

@AAMfP @lealternative se sono connessi ad internet, qualsiasi voip va bene. Oltre al fatto che qualsiasi software di chat ha la chiamata vocale. Io userei #Element #Matrix o #jitsi

#BigBlueButton oder #Jitsi am Handy im Browser ohne APP für Sprachkonferzenz? Yay or nay?

Alternative statt telefonieren?

I moved our weekly virtual drinks party from Skype to Jitsi a few weeks ago, after Microsoft fumbled the transition from Skype to #Teams and one of us couldn't join. I'm really impressed by the way Jitsi has come on since I last tried it in 2020: not only is the connection clear and stable, but #Jitsi makes better use of our inadequate bandwidth than #Skype ever did.

@yakkoj no one ever, in the history of my Jitsi server, told me to use Webex or Teams as a better alternative.

Großes Lob & Dank an @ossrox für ihre tollen Open Source Services, die noch besser ermöglichen einfach von den amerikanischen Unternehmen wegzukommen.

Ich hoffe immer mehr Menschen, Organisationen, Vereine und Unternehmen nutzen diese Möglichkeiten und kommen aus ihrer großen Komfortzone, um die Verbreitung europäischer Dienste zu fördern.

Zum Thema Unabhängigkeit von amerikanischen Diensten zeige ich auf welche ich stattdessen nutze.
Viele schon seit etlichen Jahren. Möglichst nachhaltig und Open Source.

@Janeishly

This has got to be the specific site's decision - #jitsi as such does not need #Meta nor #Google nor #MS logins.

I've been using jitsi.meet as a free non-USA alternative to Zoom, googlemeet, and the truly dire Teams.
It works, noise suppression isn't great and as a host you have to login via a corporate login service like Google or Github (I'm an old git and use that as least worse). But certainly a viable alternative.

With an associate membership, you can start a #Jitsi room and invite whoever you please, whether or not they have an #FSF account. You're not handing over your credentials to #Apple or #Google by proxy. Unlike the flagship server, ours does not require a third-party login. It does not use nonfree #JavaScript, and it does not recommend nonfree software or #browser #extensions. fsf.org/associate/about-the-fs

@DominemoslasTIC en vez de Google Doc , pueden usar #cryptpad , y en vez de zoom , #jitsi , ya que ambos son software libres , no así los que usan.

En inderdaad, wij verkopen "hout" (hosting), maar we verkopen ook complete oplossingen "meubels".

We leveren bijvoorbeeld #nextcloud met nextcloud #office en #e-mail (volledig verzorgd) en #peertube als service en #mastodon als service en wat dacht je van #jitsi en #bigbluebutton ook als service.

Het is zelfs zo dat Bert daar zelf gebruik van maakt, de mastodon.nl server is qua eigennaarschap van de stichting ActivityPub, maar draait met en door ProcoliX.

@universiteitleiden Voor chat in eigen beheer zou #Mattermost of #Matrix een veel beter keuze zijn.

Voor #Videobellen is #BigBlueButton of #Jitsi een goede privacy vriendelijke keuze voor álle gespreksdeelnemers.

Are you still stuck using proprietary software to talk to your coworkers and loved ones? #Jitsi Meet respects your freedom and privacy, and #FSF associate members can spread that freedom by using our FSF instance, whose rooms can be created and moderated with an FSF account, not one by big tech.
