I usually remain silent and read interesting threads but on this topic I would like to express a few things.
Sincere thanks from me for your contribution.
I'm part of those to conceive Internet concepts such as distributed and federated protocols as the core values of the system. [...]
For what it's worth: I violently agree with your analysis and your values/preferences (mostly). And certainly that such values matter.
I won't argue for a specific project or protocol, but I would like to express that I wish people favor interop, decentralized, and help supporting such Internet strengh.
Well said. So in the spirit of experimentation ("just do it"), I have created a group on Matrix:
#swinog:swinot.ch
https://matrix.to/#/!emivqjAwXhILUrtwFM:swinot.ch?via=swinot.ch&via=matr...
I also started a small VM and installed a Matrix "homeserver" and Web UI on it. For now it's running under
matrix.swinot.ch (server) https://riot.swinot.ch (Web UI, no good way to get accounts yet)
Sorry for the stupid domain name! I'll happily move everything to swinog.ch (and save a few Francs by not renewing the domain name :-) Didn't want to bother the swinog.ch DNS admins over the weekend...
