@Fitik @theboxhead Yep. Look out for updates on Relatica if you're on iOS

@thebustinator Guess it's the author is still working on it, polishing it out, but there's a start

@KurtVonnegut What do you mean?

@jaybone Lol!

I did not receive your response in time, that's why I edited my previous comment. Sorry about that.

Imo, I'm more concerned about Facebook's data hoarding practices and its future moderation practices than whether it has a public feed or not. LinkedIn and VK (probably G+ either, can't remember) - other two social networks that are more similar to Facebook in UI - do not have publicly accessible feeds either on their home pages, yet they still managed to get plenty of users. Probably no longer still relevant, but diaspora is also featured as the 1st alternative to Facebook. Yet if you go to any diaspora server, say diaspora-fr.org/, there's no way to access a public feed either.

Some Friendica servers (probably some Mastodon servers too) are also actively blocking their local feeds from unlogged users, so that's also an aspect to keep in mind.

I understand that for some people (I simply don't care that much about this aspect, but I understand you do), the lack of a public feed might be an impediment, but I think it's way less harmful than other things that Meta does to its users.

It is a Facebook alternative, after all. But now that you're speaking, I think it would work if a link to the community page would be visible straight from the login page. You can still see the public feed as of speaking, but you have to go to instance.address/community to see it.

Edit: seems like this is not a universal issue with Friendica, but rather just something to add to the Frio theme which is the default for the majority of the instances. For example, where the Vier theme is used by default, there is a community button available: social.outsourcedmath.com/ is one example.

Hopefully someone does a more modern theme that has this button too.

I would have recommended you mine or venera.social. They're around 10 years old or something, so quite some time. But they've temporarily closed signups. nerdica.net and anonsys.net have also been around for quite some time, although the former had some problems last year and lost years of database. ouch.

Then there's social.trom.tf, which has some of the most wonderful custom themes I've seen on Friendica, but their opinions on stuff are a bit weird for me...

For the rest I don't know that much.

Same as Instagram or Telegram. Really, stop nitpicking the name of FOSS projects excessively. I get that they're not the best, but they're not really a dealbreaker for most of the people outside the marketing departments.

Otoh, what if we would all call it Friendi as well (just like we did with Insta? Or Fren?

It happens the same on Facebook, so that's not a problem for a Facebook alternative

Yeah, Rednote is such a wonderful name tbh.

He does post on it. Ever since his announcement, I made sure to dislike his every post.

BRINCS?

@fu As a Linux nerd, I go outside every day. How else would I flex to people that I use Arch, btw?

I mean, internet is cool and all, but still...

@Sunshine

@fu Thank you, yes, I randomly thought about all those Sent from my iPhone tweets from back in the day so I decided to adapt it and specify.

@schizoidman if the alternative to corporate owned social media is a platform of the CCP then we're pretty much all fucked.

@fu I guess. organic Maps is fortunately also on Android.

@Sunshine

@schizoidman this is interesting news

@alyaza I hated this so much lmfao

A value of 0 indicates that the default encryption is being used for RCS, while 1 indicates that MLS is being used.

From that, I understand that a different encryption protocol will be used. Something that can be used across other apps.
