Bluesky is federated though. Like, you can selfhost every part of it and communicate with bsky users just fine: see wafrn and blacksky.

You can argue that it’s not decentralised because one instance has 99% of the users though

If you look at the MSC’s only half of it is, and to convince people to switch I’d need a reasonable fast (Sliding sync) client with native voice chat (matrixRTC) that has a somewhat discord-like UI.

So basically I just have to wait for cinny to implement that.

The

most clients adopt it

was the important part of my comment

I agree, but right now the clients aren’t quite mature enough. Once matrix 2.0 is done and merged and most clients adopt it it should be good

Imo all it needs is for 2.0 to come out and for discord-like clients like cinny to mature to get to a point where it’s a good discord replacement, and both of those seem pretty close to happening.

not true, the only one that’s just a rebranded pre-existing app is tchap, and most of them are made from scratch

looks great! Thank you for making this

Good article, but the text contrast is horrible

It’s always funny to me that blue means left to americans.

As far as I can tell the worst thing they did was call their source available license open source, which isn’t even that bad.

pronounced ra-ch-oon or rac-hoon?

That’s what I want, it could be implemented like bluesky feeds, where you choose the tags and words you want included, and then choose what kind of ordering you want!

I see what you mean, but it’s never worked as well for me as a simple, well designed algorithm or even bsluesky feeds, or, incidentally, lemmy communities.

Seems like a good idea, although a simple, configurable algorithm would also be nice.

You select one or several topics, and it shows you popular posts in that category.

Bonfire seems cool, but the website doesn’t do a great job at explaining to me what sets it apart from other fediverse software.

Well yeah ofc, the op stated they would also have an offsite backup, so I figured I didn’t have to specify

What I would personally do is get a standard pc, anything that you can plug sata hard drives into and get for cheap, get two hard drives of whatever size you deem necessary, and then put them in raid 1, this means that both drives are a copy of eachother, so if one dies the data is okay.

You can put whatever software you want, but I would need more info on what you want to do with it to give recommendations there. ie: general file storage only, or also stuff like online document editing? Backups from what kind of system? Only macs or something else too? How technical are you for setup and stuff?

Looks great all-around, although the gradient on the app icons is a bit much

Looks great! Only reason I’m not using it already is that I’m just a bit worried about security, given this one hasn’t been audited afaik

pretty nice release!
