The direction Telegram is going is unsettling to me too. I always preferred this over any others because it was simple and just worked™ on all of my devices. Including my Linux PC. I wish I could name an alternative but what? The usual suspects, Threema and Signal suffer from the same problem: Centralized services.

And Matrix? OMG. I wish I could recommend that but the on-boarding experience – even for tech savy people working in this industry – is the worst. And sadly that’s not even a question of the client used. Each requires a high suffering tolerance from their users. It feels like it has all the right ideas in the most complicated way possible and while I didn’t host any Matrix serves myself I hear they have a very heavy footprint.

We got hardly any snow this year @Shawshank. In fact we didn’t even have to order new food for the heater. That’s not normal at all :-/

Not saying I missed snow but I miss snow. Does this make sense?

Anyway, now it’s spring and we get this rich fresh green everywhere that can only be seen for ~2ish weeks each year – and I love it 🤓

There’s no such thing like a primary topic or focus on mine. It’s an ongoing ever evolving side project and it’s topics change with whatever my hyperfocus latches on next 🙃

I know many separate their ongoing projects or thoughts via profiles or even completely different websites.

That’s too much work for my taste. So there is the full package or nothing. Or well… one could sub to a feed by category only. A nifty RSS feature 😀

I’d say we had a different kind of “content pressure” when creating a blog back then. I mean how else would we explain the amount of under_construction gifs? 🙃

It is indeed a shame though that any activity on the net is associated with the question how to make money of it 🙁

Sometimes existing is really enough 👍

Wonder where you look, because that list doesn’t look _that_ exhaustive 🙃

Also Hi from an IndieWeb-Priest 🤓

Heh, the idea of Twitiverse didn’t age well eh? 4 years later:

Threads implements ActivityPub. X: Hold my beer.

Ja das ist so richtig schwer :-/ Jedenfalls viel Erfolg bei der Suche!

Pretty easy @edent. Reading in since 2019 when you posted “The future of the web, isn’t the web”. That was shortly before you added Webmentions 😀 I love your occasional reviews especially with an eye on the Linux-y side of things and your way to see the world seems to align fine with my own view.

I’m just your average 40-ish dad who works in tech and also happens to build cockpits for fun in the basement or loves swinging a sword around 🤓

…and I almost had longer hair than you once 😛

Pong.

Naja, mehr Links schön und gut aber sorry, Twitter geht halt gar nicht mehr. Und Pingbacks? Klar ist das geil aber warte mal ab bis du Webmentions gesehen hast. Pingback mit Intend! Oder gar… ActivityPub! Wie RSS nur in toll, so mit Replies und Likes und so Zeug. 🤓
