@nextcloud We have a citizen card here that can have a biometric element embedded in it or something, could be used for something similar to login perhaps

These and many more pages are still missing in the #JoinFediverseWiki.
Who would like to write one of those pages or give some input?

Some suggested sections:
What does X feel like?
What are some advantages over [the platform which X can serve as a replacement for]?

I suggested many chat apps to my friends and they found those hard to use or confusing, finally I suggested Quicksy, they all found it good. So all my friends and family now use #Quicksy to talk to me. Recommend Quicksy today and feel the happiness.

#peertube looking for an instance to host https://www.democracynow.org/pages/help/podcasting as we would love to feature it on http://visionon.tv , we already bring in and host 2 big video archives, so to help decentralize we need another instance to host the big USA alt media shows. Who is up for this?

What is freedom 2? The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor.

I don't even think it's that.
The place needs a culture other than "we are fleeing from other places."
It's like early Reddit, lotta nerds and dropouts, dissidents and hermits, but there is no clear idea of how people should interact so it becomes scrolling through lots of tangentially-related activity.
@thor You could use b ibig blue button, as you can host a meeting and just send someone a simple link to the meeting room,

Nice interview on decentralisation and the fedi, I have made a blog post and linked to your peertube blog and mastodon.
Will publish later
@sean
I have made a good few videos but a lot are part of tutorials, so very short and form part of blog posts to complement written text and screenshots.
I am happy to boost your content if it helps.

We say to people "We can be as a good as the proprietary apps." but then gloss over obvious problems.
Quicksay makes signup easy, is distributed, and does contact discovery.
"But make contact discovery non-distributed"- that just leads to centralization and a poor user experience.
If someone is building a service in order to be self-hosted, it should handle basic functionality.
...
Indeed, as people have said here too much focus on bits of paper, not actual ability to do the job in many cases.
Box ticking does not seem to lead to the right outcomes.

IIRC Northern Exposure was really good, sitcom late 80s early 90's, set in Alaska
