Nein, es geht explizit darum das in diesen Communities ab und zu politische Diskussionen rund um das Thema Israel stattfinden (oder grundsätzlich verboten sind) und dabei nach deutschem Recht bestimmte besonders Israel kritische Aussagen moderiert werden (müssen). Sowohl das generelle Verbot als auch diese Moderation wird als indirekte Unterstützung Israels und seiner genozidalen Politik (mis)verstanden.

You can learn more about it on https://joinjabber.org/ (Jabber being the name of the open federation, similar to ActivityPub and the Fediverse).

Doesn’t enen mention XMPP or Mumble, thus probably badly researched.

Piefed does that partially. It also aggregates votes to send them in batches which is apparently saving server resources, but sadly it only works between Piefed instances and not with Lemmy.

Also es mag ja etwas anders gewesen sein, aber nur anders scheiße. Facebook war von Beginn an ein Projekt um Daten auszuspähen und (anfangs weibliche Mitstudenten) zu stalken. Das sollte man wirklch nicht verharmlosen.

That must have been a severly misconfigured server then. Normally history is stored on the server and synced on demand via MAM.

Of course with modern e2ee you can’t actually decrypt old history on new devices, but that is an intentional feature with PFS.

Xmpp has no marketing budget and a lot of people just decided it is old and always share bad experiences with it from 15 years ago 🤷

If you can find interesting articles to post in that comm, that’s also good.

But usually our comms don’t need that much active moderation. It is more about keeping an eye on the posts and having multiple mods in case one of the others is on holiday or so.

Well, this is kind of work in progress for XMPP and DeltaChat doesn’t support it. But you can for example try out https://movim.eu/ which is a webbased xmpp client (with PWA app) which does support screensharing in small group calls.

Matrix stans mentally block out the many issues it has, so take everything they say with a grain of salt 😅

These days not so much, but you might find their contracts with the military also objectionable.

But they got a major early investment in 2018 from Status, a cryptocurrency/web3 company, and later in 2021 an even bigger one in relation to Protocol Labs, who peddle their own cryptocurrency.

But personally I would not recommend Stout either as it is not a serious project nor does it federate. Maybe look into XMPP or DeltaChat.

You must have used a very outdated client (like Pidgin) because history is syncronized via the server reliably since 10+ years on xmpp with clients that support the MAM standard.

Well, the neighbourhood is even worse…

The servers are great, but the currently available clients are only great for non-corporate usecases IMHO.

Language specific communities are definitly ok, but are probably also better found on an instance that is primarily that language. Maybe once we switch to Piefed it becomes a bit more realistic with the LibreTranslate integration that it has.

I mean good that you are interested in hosting a proxy, but Nginx Proxy Manager hides away a lot of features and is probably not such a good idea to use when you want to run more complex and security relevant apps like a Signal proxy.

I know this is a bit annoying as an answer, but learning a bit of regular Nginx is probably the better idea in the long run as you usually outgrow NPM quickly.

Schwer zu sagen. Als ich noch viel beruflich gereist bin hatte ich wenig Probleme damit, aber lange ermüdende Flugreisen und Jetlag sind zusätzliche Faktoren die es schwer machen das Objektiv einzeln zu betrachten.

Was es auf jeden Fall gibt ist ein allgemeiner Erschöpfungszustand der es möglich macht egal wo zu schlafen. Ist dann aber schwer nicht fast im Stehen wegzunicken.

There is no merge functionality that would retain the time stamps, although I think Piefed has an experimental server move feature for communities.

Typically the best is to cross post the interesting ones in another communities when you want to close a community.

Our main Solarpunk community is not so busy. If you have some interesting regional activity you can easily post it there.

No, they rebranded LiveKit, which is open source but afaik developed by a silicon valley startup.
