Fed up with Reddit so here we are.
I have had this idea in my mind of building a privacy-first, open source dating app built on “privacy by design” principles. Still didn’t get to it tho.
Tried it, doesn’t work. Too many bugs. I can’t input a location and it fails to auto-detect so I am just living in cyberspace apparently.
Culture. For the same reason why in american music every swearword is beeped out, which seems ridiculous to everyone else in the world. It’s just how it is.


Depends on your security and feature requirements. I found that Mega works well for music streaming on mobile, and the E2EE is reasonably trustworthy for that use case.
Did someone call me?
First you should ask yourself why you would not want advice.
Which results in: a) accept and implement advice OR b) prove the advice wrong
I think it never got much adoption because nobody knows how to pronounce it. Has been around for many years but I’ve never seen it in action.


Why on earth would you brush your teeth in the shower??
The only real solution is to use E2EE, which there are plenty of options for with XMPP.
Thanks! I guess setting up a functional federated network is far from trivial. Reading about ActivityPub right now.
Any idea why it doesn’t show the one from lemmy.world here?

Interesting! Thanks for the hint 😊
Yes you are right, it is there, I just didn’t see it! 😂🙈 I’m using Jerboa btw.
You are right, I somehow completely missed that! I have an “all” in my left side bar (my client is called Jerboa)
Depends on what your threat model is. Sure a fully locked down mobile OS is more secure, but I also care about freedom and privacy. It’s not all black and white.
