@wordshaper @J12t I agree.
I'd say both these thing worked for Jitsi, as ignorance or practicality worked both ways, mostly the
●positive-practical aspects of Jitsi Meet
(being Open-source implementation and not needing login / easy / instant etc)
and
●negative-practical aspects of Zoom
(being China related / regulated servers probably snooped on legally that side etc + needing extra software or more encouraged even though could use WebRTC webpage to do very similar)
Jitsi I think was people using lesser of two if they knew different and go for more instant ability of audio / video / web chat as it was more alone then in what it and Zoom did.
More recently Jitsi needing 3rd party login on it's main site means it's no longer instant for everyone or it's a deal-breaker since it makes it more obvious on the privacy front. Most just won't join like that or use it any more since there is more choice now... but back then more desperate and simple open-source service won it for people (I guess and see as main points)
Having alternatives that don't need 3rd party login... I think is a winner.

A complete stranger took my Kitchenaid mixer on, fixed it, and delivered it back to me, all for a $20 tube of degreaser and some thanks.
Repair Cafes are amazing, and they're all around the world -- look in your community for a Repair Cafe for things you can't fix.
I'm so thrilled. It was a gift from my stepmom and my brother did an idiotic job of packing it when he shipped it to me, which broke shit.
Dude not only repaired things, but fabricated a new knob for me.

Personal attacks for bridging Bluesky + shrugging off Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) = hypocrisy; CW: long (almost 2,000 characters), Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse meta, Bluesky bridge meta
Since the BridgyFed drama, there might be four more reasons for Mastodon users to want Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) out of the Fediverse. I mean, aside from their usual atrocities like their users writing well over 500 characters, using text formatting, quoting and quote-posting like it's totally normal. Because it is for them. And aside from no instance on any of the three having rules and moderator numbers on par with Mastodon.
One, they aren't based on ActivityPub. They're technically bridged to Mastodon. They're bridged one instance at the time, and the bridge is a plug-in on the instance and therefore part of the project. But still, it isn't that much different from BridgyFed connecting Bluesky to the rest of the Fediverse.
Two, since they aren't based on ActivityPub, they're aliens. Aliens of basically the same kind as Bluesky, only that they've mostly got those features that Mastodon has that Bluesky doesn't. But the BridgyFed drama isn't about Bluesky's features or lack thereof, and it isn't only about Bluesky being commercial either. It's also about Bluesky being too different in technology, functionality and culture. But let me tell you a secret: Bluesky is probably much closer to Mastodon than Hubzilla. I mean, I've already mentioned how Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) users "misbehave" from a Mastodon point of view. You won't see any of this come from Bluesky anytime soon.
Three, Friendica is already fully federated with Bluesky. It's a feature that was introduced with the latest stable release.
Four, speaking of Friendica, that allegedly "hate-fuelling" Fediverse News is a public group account on Friendica. Only that the user who started that particular thread is on Firefish, and Fediverse News only automatically forwarded what he had posted.
So where's the outrage?

@jupiter_rowland Does sound nice. Do you have example video of Let's Play specifically link youtube link (https://yewtu.be/ link please)
It is as if there are two species one that cares or works towards it, and the other than doesn't...
@prolrage What we are dealing with here is basically starving of people (even those that are fed to some extent).
The uncaring power struggle basically that life becomes and only feeding the rich to become richer while many become poorer in spirit and these poor souls physically...

Yesterday, the children of Gaza decided to hold their own press conference outside of Al-Shifa Hospital in #Gaza.
The spokesperson says:
"Since October 7th, we have been subjected to genocide, killing, displacement, and bombs falling on our head in front of the whole world.
They are lying to the world, saying that they are targeting resistance fighters, but as children, we have escaped death more than once. We, as children, have escaped death more than once.
We came to Al-Shifa Hospital as a safe place after we were repeatedly exposed to bombing. We were surprised that we were once again exposed to death after the occupation targeted Al-Shifa Hospital.
The occupation starves us. For many days, we have no water or food, or even bread. We drink contaminated water.
We came to shout as children, urging you all to protect us. Stop the death. We want life. We want peace. We want a trial for the killers. We want medicine. We want food. We want education. We want life."

@selea Ok maybe not need to ask more :)
But if willing I would like to know more about why BlueSky you'd be agreeable with but also respect if you don't want
Currently I'm looking at points for our own server or for others emotionally that can see calmly those other explain then just choose themselves without so much fear-only sources and much more logic (even with a bit of fear or cautiousness)...
Like I was thinking also BlueSky "but then what if Jack Dorsey leaves 
! " ...basically highlighting a lot of people following people but a rug-pull style or sudden commercial change can be always on the cards so perhaps better not at all with BlueSky either...
So just some thoughts there if you'd like to help me others in looking at this quite important decision... or let me know if not and even not at all for anything your message about (just so I know!)
Yeah but I respect it... but do have a think about communicating so my words aren't in vain...
@selea Yeah but I respect it... :)
I did start writing more but just saw you reply to another post just now so I'll have a look and maybe I'll reply to this in a bit and just from the general point of view of people also missing things, as well as other reasons in not replying or not being sure etc! One has to be a little persistent sometimes... so hope it's work and will have a look at your reply now...
It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
