According to the interviews there is a shared interest in #federated technologies but several things are slowing down the adoption of #decentralized tools such as: lack of awareness about these tools, strong dependency from popular platforms, perceived complexity of use ("lack of familiar features"). Our mission is to help partner organizations successfully migrate to the #Fediverse while analyzing and documenting the whole process to understand main blockers and affordances of the #federation

"Protecting #democracy from threats created by Internet #platforms is a laudable goal. But it is not worth the cost imposed by legislative attempts so far: empowering the government to control legal speech online. Lawmakers’ attempts to impose their own top-down speech rules are particularly unwarranted given the far more promising possibilities offered by #usercontrolled and #decentralized #contentmoderation systems."

I said it before on Mastodon. I'm reposting this again. Comparing #DeltaChat and #Matrix together, if you want hassle free and consistent messenger for private #E2EE chats, don't go for Matrix. DeltaChat is way better.

However, if you want something like a public forum, or a public chatroom, don't go for DeltaChat. Matrix is way better suited for that. And DeltaChat does not support public groups at all. In DeltaChat groups, there is no admin or moderator and everyone have got permission to remove or add the others.

I think I have to write a longer post on my personal blog about these two, comparing them together.

PS: Another Matrix encryption bug few minutes ago triggered repost of this.
