That would be too obvious

That’s pathetic

I don’t have any problems with the FP4.

Data shouldn’t be organized hirarchically.

That may be true but it makes the Lemmyverse much more robust in the long term.

I don’t care if I have to subscribe to multiple similar communities or see some posts multiple times, as long as not one or just a few people control the whole discourse.

That’s why redundant communities are important. Admins and mods make different decisions and heavily shape culture in the community.

Many don’t like it but I think it’s a beautiful feature of the Fediverse.

If you need private repositories for commercial projects (e.g. because you represent a company or are a developer that needs a space to host private freelance projects for your clients), we would highly recommend that you take a look at Forgejo. Forgejo is the Git hosting software that Codeberg runs. It is free software and relatively easy to self-host. Codeberg does not offer private hosting services.

Ideas are cheap

I thought that too! :D

Scary movie

Basically “try to sue us”

Why not doing both? Supporting more independent platforms and advocating for pro-consumer laws

More proof he looks like this

Wouldn’t that be fruit missing?

1. Have an interesting topic
2. Create a community
3. Post some interesting stuff
4. Federate with other servers
5. Keep posting and engage

As a result, I am just asking follow-on questions to further discern what makes Element preferable.

If you are against a change in the first place you won’t switch, anyway.

There are people who love them, but when people ask about them, they don’t offer any really informative data to support why they like them.

Please, ask.

What makes Element (matrix) a secure platform, and how does that differ from telegram or signal or whatever. Like. What is matrix good at? That’s what I’m asking. Why suggest it over something else?

Simple. It’s fully free and open source. The server as well as the apps. Therefore, you can trust it as a privacy friendly solution a heck of a lot more, than any other solution like WhatsApp.

Signal is secure as well, but the server is centralized.

And Telegram is not considered secure because of their implementation and shady practices.

It’s a secure messenger
