soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
> Un des problèmes actuels de Deltachat, c'est la centralisation de fait. Un peu tout le monde choisi le serveur "nine.testrun.org"
that was just an intermediate step, nine.testrun.org was offered as a stable relay, choosing randomly could end up in using a poorly maintained relay that got abandoned and then you or your family would be left like "Delta Chat doesn't work anymore"
anyways, good news! finally since the release 2.62.0 nine.testrun.org is no longer the hard-coded relay! now 3 random relays are chosen and used! so if one goes down the others will be used without ending up with a dead relay, and further improvements will come in this area, as replacing relays that stopped working automatically, learning new relays from the ones used by your peers etc.
so in fact Delta Chat right now is at the peak of #decentralization, way above #Matrix, #XMPP, #Mastodon and any other decentralized platform, because it is not only decentralized but it is "multi-homing", in other decentralized platforms if your server dies your profile is lost and you have to start all over, in #DeltaChat you can have several home servers at the same time and even replace them on the fly while keeping all your chats, contacts, messages, groups, channels, etc. your profile lives in your devices, not in any server
Get out of your comfort zone, don't sacrifice freedom for short-term convenience

Switching from #WhatsApp / #Telegram to #Signal is not a solution if you really care about #resilience and #autonomy
Signal depends on #Amazon and fuels millions of users' donations to them every year
All of them are centralized services and depend on phone numbers, which makes them easy to censor
The best services are the one that don't require any personal data at all to register, nor payment, like #ArcaneChat
Keep the #family safe 💜✨️
So #Telegram is now sharing your messages with a 3rd party #AI service when you use certain features in the app
over the years Telegram has become worse and worse, right now it looks like a crypto-scam lottery-something, with ads in-chat and requiring you to buy premium for basic features
centralized platforms are bound to enshitification, it is a time trap, don't fall for it, choose #decentralization, choose #autonomy, choose #freedom
No phone numbers or any personal data required for registration with ArcaneChat
(A staff and purple robes is highly recommended tho)

this is really super cool:
https://likebutter.app/blog/butterbox-deltachat
quite some other projects try to solve "offline communications" by using Bluetooth but I think this is very unpractical for anything that is not looking like an IRC or SMS app
but if people setup local interconnected wifi hotspots and build a mesh network in the cities/towns then you can have a something much more interesting while not draining everyone's battery
enabling people to do things like this and becoming truly resilient and autonomous
things like this you can never do with centralized messengers like #WhatsApp, #Telegram, #Signal, etc. if you really care about digital independence, centralized alternatives are just NOT an option at all

And in Activitypub I'm sure there are a lot of features specific to code handling that likely aren't supported. That's why it seems to me that unless either protocol has a major rewrite with this specific usecase in mind, that we're going to have to Frankenstein this.

Quite interesting, isn't it? Aotearoa NZ is discovering that decentralised for power grid infrastructure is the way to go for resilience, cost and meeting climate goals. Additionally, it gives us significantly more sovereignty from overseas suppliers.

** when you meet someone and they ask you for a way to keep in contact **
Centralized chat solutions that require phone numbers to work will never give you the digital independence and #privacy you deserve
#ArcaneChat #decentralization #android #Europe #European #whatsapp #signal #telegram #facebookmessenger #messenger #digitalindependence #family #encryption
Some people in #Europe try to get away from #WhatsApp but fail short then just moving to #Signal, it runs on #Amazon servers and fuels millions of dollars into them every year
if you really want digital independence you need something that is decentralized and you can host yourself, something that can't be taken away form you
ideally something that doesn't require phone numbers

I moved my Bluesky account to Eurosky. It was the most technical thing I have done since updating DNS records, honestly 😅 I had to deal with migrator tools, DIDs, rotation keys, recovery keys, Migration Tokens, typing in my old password, new password, old handle, new handle, "PDS Mover - Missing Blobs Importer"...
There are explanations like "do not close this page!" and "monitor your email!" and "If you're wondering what 'blobs' are, that is simply what media files are called on the AT Protocol, the network that includes Bluesky, Eurosky and others."
For me as a nerd, things like these are naturally part of everyday life, just like setting up DNS records or configuring services, installing servers and infrastructures, programming and so on. But they said mAsToD0n iS diFfIcUlt wHaT is A sErVeR sO cOmPLIcaTed?!! Moving a Mastodon account from one instance to another seems like a walk in the park in comparison. My mom would not know how to migrate a Bluesky account to Europe.

“The thing is, when working on decentralized tech, I always believed it was important because we had serious risks from centralization, surveillance, etc from governments and corporations, potentially co-conspiring. But what I hadn't anticipated is that as things became more centralized, the will to fight for the internet as something in the public interest too would evaporate.
When I have conversations with family members and friends who haven't yet thought much about the age verification and similar bills and their consequences, they've said "well, someone has to hold corporations like Meta" responsible. To which I say, "but what about all the smaller, non-corporate parts of the internet?" To which, many people are surprised, because they've simply forgotten about those things.
When the internet and computing becomes five corporations to most people, they begin to treat it as the concerns of reigning in five corporations.“

Check out our "good first issue" project board and see if something sparks your interest.
WhatsApp Clone, but Decentralized with P2P Messaging
"Secure and private" is the general goal.
This is a technical/concept demo of a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-first and webrtc.
This is intended to introduce a new paradigm in client-side managed secure cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort.
Features:
* P2P
* End to end encryption
* Signal protocol
* Post-Quantum cryptography
* File transfer
* Local-first
* No registration
* No installation
* No database
* TURN server
Feel free to reach out for clarity instead of diving into the docs/code.
IMPORTANT: While this is aiming to provide a secure experience, it isnt audited or reviewed. **Shared for testing, feedback and demo purposes only.** Please use responsibly.

This should be a wake-up call for everyone to rely on your own server infrastructure, running with #OpenSource #software

Switching from #WhatsApp / #Telegram to #Signal, or other centralized chat apps, is not a solution if you really care about #privacy, #resilience and #autonomy / #digitalindependence
all of them are centralized services and depend on phone numbers, which makes them super easy to censor, the best services are the one that don't require any personal data at all to register, like ArcaneChat

**First entry into RetroShare: how to find peers**
In RetroShare you don’t “find people” in the usual sense. You don’t search — you agree. This is a fundamental mindset shift; without it, the first launch will always feel empty.
The first thing to accept: there is no global lobby in RetroShare. The emptiness after installation is not a bug, but the honest state of a network without links. Until you have trusted contacts, you literally have no network.
**The basic method — out-of-band contact.**
Peers are found outside RetroShare. These are friends, colleagues, members of thematic communities, people from Matrix, XMPP, IRC, Mastodon, forums — any place where key exchange can happen safely. RetroShare does not start with a “search” button, but with the phrase: “here is my key.”
**The second path — a control peer.**
The most reliable way for first entry is a second instance you control, or a pre-arranged experimental partner. This removes uncertainty: if the connection fails, the issue is technical, not social.
**The third path — thematic islands.**
There are small RetroShare communities built around ideas: privacy, P2P, darknet research, offline activism. They are not widely advertised because the network is not designed for random influx. Entry always starts with dialogue, not a click.
**What does not work.**
Publishing keys into the void. Waiting for someone to add you. Relying on auto-discovery. This is centralized-network thinking applied to a system where it has no meaning.
**How to know you’ve found a peer.**
The contact comes online. The connection stabilizes. Services start working: chat, forums, file exchange. At that point RetroShare stops being an abstraction and becomes an environment for communication.
**Bottom line:**
in RetroShare, people appear first —
and only then does the network emerge.

Behold! The net cop gives expensive advice! You are basically requiring that I pay for yet another ERC20 cryptocurrency token just to send text messages.
From the Autonomi site:
"WHEN SOMEONE (A PERSON OR A COLLECTIVE) UPLOADS DATA THEY PAY A FEE TO DO SO."
"+1 Million tokens on offer for early contributors."MaidSafe is credited as having invented the ICO. I wouldn't touch it or any of its descendant projects with a ten-foot pole.
"MaidSafe are the team behind Autonomi ..."Didn't you learn from Maidsafe+Mastercoin ICO and ten thousand other ICOs already? The purpose of digital 'tokens' is to separate gullible people from their dollars or euros or yuan or rubles, providing in return something they could already have for free or so cheap it's nearly free. It appears that the people behind Maidsafe are also behind the crypto token you are suggesting, for merely posting text files. Get outta here!
Newscard has several selling points:
0. It's not for sale. Try that with Autonomi, Maidsafe, and a thousand others.
1. It is free, unlike your suggested cryptocurrency pump.
2. My solution is simple and elegant - naming small text files for retrieval.
3. Newscard uses existing infrastructure already in operation for decades.
4. Many mature client softwares and terminal emulators already exist for the task.
5. Newscard doesn't require investment or payment.
6. Newscard doesn't have an integrated, useless payment system.
7. Newscard is ANONYMOUS and uses The Onion Network by default.
8. Users won't lose their money when using Newscard.
And my Newscard solution doesn't require taking zillions of dollars from people who will likely never see a return on their token investment. Storage token sale schemes are a dime a dozen. I can't believe you think I have the credulity to swallow such a scheme.
For almost two decades running countless crews have claimed that they will, 'decentralize the Internet' if you give them your money.
Newsflash: The Internet already is decentralized. Decentralization is a basic part of the design of the Internet. It already routes around damage and censorship by default. Why do I need to pay for a crypto token for something that already exists? Decentralized Usenet has been in continuous operation for decades. I'm already using the 'decentralized Internet' for the Newscard protocol. I've been using the 'decentralized Internet' since forever! It doesn't need to be decentralized by crypto pump schemes. The Internet is already decentralized.
So we already have a decentralized Internet where data storage is abundant and cheap. And these token pumpers want to set themselves up as gatekeepers so we have to pay them to get the tokens to store our data. That is not decentralization. That is the essence of a centralized monetary gatekeeper!
You accused me of misusing Usenet. Yet I am only doing what people have done with Usenet for decades--posting encrypted messages. I'm not misusing Usenet. You're misusing my patience for cryptocurrency dumps and re-hashed token sales strategies.
