My three reasons not to use Signal:

1. It only runs on Android/iOS, which I don't (want to) have. Even their desktop client needs an Android/iOS device!

2. It runs and depends on AWS. I.e. DJT could ask his buddy Jeff B. to switch it off. As #EU citizen, I prefer a local server.

3. They want a phone number to register. This makes multipe accounts for different purposes practically impossible.

Fortunately, there's #Jabber — since 1999!

The #Conversations_im release that was rejected yesterday is now live on the Google Play beta channel.

A late addition to the 2.19.0-beta release is message moderation for public channels, giving moderators the ability to delete spam messages.

After the Code of Conduct and the Mediation process, the Cooperative Development Guidelines now have a Governance Document that can be used by any Organization/Foundation/Collective/Community/Project that wants to have a governance based on participatory, equity and permacomputing/accessibility principles.

Its time for us to finally start building participatory digital commons, that are developed by the community and for the community and the Governance document is part 1 of doing just that. (Decision making and Structure will follow after this).

I am also excited to announce that @queerspark has also been listed as a collective that adopted pieces of the Cooperative Development Guidelines.

The new @joinjabber governance is also based on the Cooperative Development Guidelines governance template.

#Conversations_im esta gratuito unas veces por año como promoción. Desde navidad y año nuevo y el primero de mayo, creo.

#Quicksy siempre esta gratuito, #Snikket también.

Igual esta mejor usar #FDroid por @fdroidorg 🙂

Very exciting to see @bonfire
share the work they are doing in creating sustainable commons in tech.

I am very much looking forward to networks and protocols starting to talk with each other, and building commons and bridges towards each other.

As @joinjabber we are also right now setting up our Governance to be based on sociocracy, with commons sustainability in mind and it is very encouraging to see other people also looking at what we can do above and beyond what Big tech has to offer.

Unfortunately, public wifi and other badly configured #firewalls killed the concept of TCP ports. There is only one port left, that's 443 for everything.

Some people argue, it is a blessing for #privacy, because all our criminal #Jabber usage is hidden now.

That's just the "normal" #nginx domain, location and #reverseProxy stuff. I don't have a good example at hand (we have it at work, but the git is not yet public, sorry), maybe others can point to a good tutorial?

@prosodyim maybe?

(Reminder to myself: Put more $dayjob stuff to the public git. There are no secrets anyway.)
