    You still got personal twitter accs.? Thought next time signal (or any other messager) is in trouble keeing their server up, replying to their tweets explaining why this is one of many reasons federated infrastructure is important...and so on. (but pls no just somrthing like "better join exempeepee". If it's not educational it won't work to get the point across why federation is important ) In case one of us wrote something, we could post here the link to it, so that others might join in to create some discourse and be higher ranked. (I don't have twitter for the moment, so can't join in on that. Maybe somewhen next time.) Those signal tweets: https://nitter.net/signalapp/status/1350118809860886528

    What you think about such idea?

  102. Licaon_Kter

    Yes...I'm no lawyer. I feel that those with the XMPP logo are nicer since you can just put Dino/Gajim/whatever and show it's not about a certain client but about the openess and interoperability.

  104. Licaon_Kter

    Also I had an idea of one with all the modern apps logos in a grid, C/Dino/Gajim/Siskin/Monal/etc and below "Let's talk on XMPP" :)

  110. purplebeetroot

    They will at one write that their service is up and running smoothly again. Being on of the first replies, *could* bring some nice reach. I don't know what's the best way to get more ore less instantly notified. Maybe rss feed reader would do the job. A bot that mirrors some of those feeds into a xmpp room would be nice too. Do we have bots to mirror rss feeds?

  113. purplebeetroot

    (Commenting with personal acc. and retweeting with official xmpp account, is what I would suggest to do)

XMPP, thousand of servers, everyone can still talk."_ Sounds good. Just a though: Using instead of "one", "single one" and/or "single". It's more similiar to the word signal, and could help to mark the word with single as a narrative as in, signal being centralized chat. Not sure if that really make sense to do. Thought we need to remember that signal is compared to most other communication platforms super great and I'm happy that many switch from what's app to signal (sure I'd be more happy if it would be exempeepee they switched to)

  115. Licaon_Kter

    I'm not native so I might...say wrong things :)

  116. shubiduh

    Downvote retweeting from the official xmpp for the same reasons as I think it's not a good idea to use it for writing in first place.

    > Downvote retweeting from the official xmpp for the same reasons as I think it's not a good idea to use it for writing in first place. Not a good idea to use it for anything, or just not for that topic?

  118. Licaon_Kter

    purplebeetroot: > sure I'd be more happy if it would be exempeepee they switched to) No one should care about the protocol, but more about it's properties Funny enough when switching away from WA they actually switched away from XMPP.

  119. purplebeetroot

    Right

  120. shubiduh

    purplebeetroot, not for this kind of biased marketing claims.

  121. purplebeetroot

    Ok. Fair enough.

    purplebeetroot: > They will at one write that their service is up and running smoothly again It will still be a silo then too > WA, silo > Signal, silo > Why keep repeating the same mistake? > XMPP, federated network since 1999

  123. Licaon_Kter

    shubiduh: > purplebeetroot, not for this kind of biased marketing claims. You mean this about my post above?

  124. purplebeetroot

    > purplebeetroot, not for this kind of biased marketing claims. When it comes to explaining the importance and posotive features of federation in contrast to centralised messengers such as WA, Signal or Telegram, would you have a suggestion so it's not just biased marketing claims?

  125. Licaon_Kter

    Just stating the differences is not biased

  126. purplebeetroot

    (Thought maybe it's a good idea to do that kind of marketing if telegram or WA is in struggle with their server. I'd prefer to motivate such folks to switch over those that use signal....even so moxie and ecosystem. Hmm if I remember moxies last talk at ccc I'm fine again to also direct this marketing towards signal user...on the other hand I can't use conversations to call anyone while using Tor. Ppl need to use something.)
