>You’re supposed to host on whatever you want.
sure, but if the messages are stored on servers you don't fully trust or control?
>Fork it if you want, remove what troubles you.
can't argue with this, except that becomes it's own point of vuln if you're not adept in development or have sec experts vetting your setup, which make this easy to say and impractical to implement
(lol sorry for the spamming there... can't figure out blockquotes)
@commie ya same. i didn't mention it bc it seems like there was an exodus from XMPP to Matrix for some reason
@sp6 oh i'm not suggesting Signal, though i trust it and use a FOSS client version of it. i agree with you there and would never pitch Discord either, but Element seems much more open to data leakage (bc of the bridges feature) than any other platform and lacks true decentralization (since everyone just uses the main homeserver) and ephemeral messaging, which makes it a non-starter for me.
i think Briar, Cwtch, Session, Simplex, and Tox are where we should be looking, no? or even @syphon over Element if Matrix is what we're set on using (based on privacy policy).
@aev thanks! Turns out one of the themes adjusted a setting in the config that wasn't obvious
@sabret00the @roninsysadm @firefox @olyerickson @brave Firefox uses EME too unless you specifically download the EME-free version deep in Mozilla's FTP (https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/) and they still use the dltoken which is a unique identifier for each download and is also not-opt-out-able unless you download a build from their FTP, so Mozilla's not without their flaws too
