> I have two Signal accounts, and one of them ... has been getting a spam message on average every 15 minutes around the clock starting about a day ago, each time from another account
Just as well Signal demands phone numbers and doesn't interoperate with other encrypted chat services over a common protocol, because that makes it easy for Signal admins to make sure every sign up is a human and prevents spam, eh? Oh wait ... : P

🌱 #FediCollective is my gentle corner of the internet. I started it here in Vancouver as a space where we enjoy coffee, co‑work, and dream up the #OpenWeb together .
For me, #presence matters more than performance. Connection is felt in deep listening, resonance, and shared values.
Everyone’s welcome — queer, BIPOC, beginners, pros.
If you believe #decentralisation should be rooted in care and #belonging, check it out: https://fedicollective.lovable.app 💜

I find the release of @bonfire 1.0 really exciting. And I have a community in mind for which I think it is a great fit.
Really looking forward to try it out!

I just heard another renown professor argue #Mastodon is too hard, even they failed. Choosing a server is simply too difficult.
And I'm wondering: how the heck does everybody have an email address?

I blogged about The Dweb Project for the second time in a year 🥳
About time! Best of all you can read my 'toast' blog on the web *or* on the #AutonomiDweb because this project is all about creating a secure, decentralised web on the Autonomi peer-to-peer network.
I explain the state of the project after one year and how to check it out by loading my #Publii blog from Autonomi hOOt!
The secure, decentralised #p2p web is one download away.
"The list includes McDonald's, DisneyPlus, Snapchat, Signal, Roblox, Verizon, Fortnite, Venmo, Perplexity, Hulu, Duolingo, Perplexity, Reddit and Coinbase. Even Amazon.com was offline at one point, and some users have also reported that their Alexa smart speakers and Ring doorbells had stopped working.
Banks and even some government websites have been affected"

Way too many bytes in one basket makes for one very big single point of failure. This is the cost of an absurdly hyper-centralised fast-food-like data center culture.
Signal++ down, sucks, but it's seeing fundamentals like banks & public sector services break that stings most.
But hey, maybe this is what it tales to push more govs to actual #datasovereignty, investing in locally owned data centers or building out their team & hosting on-prem
@feudjais J'ai utilisé des salons Matrix ce matin et ils marchent tous bien.

If you want to get a sense of what the Matrix network will be like once Matrix 2.0 is fully rolled out, get yourself ElementX, and try it with an account on the matrix.org homeserver. I haven't had a chance to really stress test it yet. But from what I've experienced so far, it's a *huge* improvement on Matrix 1.0.
EDIT 2: ElementX is the Matrix 2.0 version of Element. Despite the fact that it remains significantly incomplete, and may not meet all your needs 🤦♂️
