It's not really comparable. Duolingo is a nice game and all, but if you want to get serious about language learning (having a vocabulary 10000 words) Anki + example sentences is the way to go.
They already collected tens of millions of venture capital funding for an inefficient reinvention of XMPP. Can we boost XMPP development instead? We don't need another corporate replacement for an existing internet standard.
@shortwavesurfer In my experience normal users never touch the defaults. My friends all use OMEMO when messaging me, especially since the OpenPGP option would require you to generate a public and private key yada yada...
@ArbiterXero Exactly, if you use any other provider other than the normal Signal server, you're separate from the rest. You have no other choice to agree on all policy decisions (e.g. requirement for a phone number on registration) or loose all your contacts there. This is separate concern from privacy, but to protect against enshittification and the like, interoperability and compliance with internet standards is absolutely crucial. Let's not promote the usage walled garden apps.
@shortwavesurfer What do you mean by 'you have to roll your own encryption'? The switcher for encryption looks like this, the default is set to OMEMO which is the XMPP implementation of the Signal encryption protocol.
@Nonameuser678@saltynuts420 This. Every time someone is whining about "free speech" it's just that other people don't tolerate their racist comments or conspiracy theory. In the best case.
@CaptainAniki It doesn't matter if you give a shit or not, Matrix will become obsolete if the big providers decide to adopt something else for interoperability.
