Lemmy is run by a team of people with different ideologies, including anti-capitalist, communist, anarchist, and others.

❤️❤️❤️

yeah, that smell just brings back bad memories of dizziness D:

And the sessions are even end-to-end encrypted. Very nice!

I’d love to see some more cat communities over here :D but I also miss /r/unresolvedmysteries

Great artists are never appreciated in their own time

Yeah, I agree with the others. I think the instances and communities need to grow organically; otherwise there will always be a kind of hollow feel to the posts.

Maybe when chapo.chat manages to get integration up and running, we could have more interactions (their instance seems pretty active).

And the only packages are wine and wine-staging ;)

I clicked around on utopia.fans and found a link to their page. They claim to provide an “[…] all-in-one kit for secure instant messaging, encrypted e-mail communication, anonymous payments and private web browsing”, although they do not seem to publish their source code of their infrastructure (taken from their FAQ):

Why Utopia is not open source?

We may disclose certain parts of code, specifically related to communication and encryption. However, the decentralized protocol will not be released. Utopia is very knowledge-intensive software. A lot of time, effort and resources went into this product, and we do not want to share all of our know-how as it will result in forks which in turn may result in instability of our main network. Fork will lead to the division of the community, while our intention is the unification of the community of like-minded individuals. The bottom line here is that a lot of software is closed source, and this does not hurt them a bit. In addition, we will audit our code.

They also advertise their own crypto currency “Crypton”, which can be earned by “by running Utopia mining bots online”. The devs themselves want to stay anonymous forever (see here), which kinda leaves no information on their business model.

I would personally not trust them with my data before they release the source code of at least their client applications; but maybe someone else knows more about them :)

I guess here in Germany we had the joke about the Bielefeld conspiracy (which is no longer an inside joke only I guess), the Berlin-Brandenburg airport taking actual ages for completion (which sadly got finished recently; so that one’s gone too).

A federated streaming platform to replace Twitch

Definitely needed. PeerTube’s 4th donation-step has been reached recently. Hopefully that will result in some work on that.
