  • I used to make everybody in my friend group paranoid. I told everything happening currently and what would happen in the future with the world, then after being the embodiment of anxiety I tell them how to avoid it. Apparently I’m very convincing, they agreed that this was scary, and they’re willing to use matrix to speak with me.

    since I my deepest fears when I was little was being watched. I thought about this alot, and I kept searching about privacy on the internet, at one point I couldn’t sleep because of intel management engine on my thinkpad. I’m well informed about these stuff.

    However, my friends are ambitious people that feel importance in themselves. Those kinds of people are smarter and willing to do what they can to better their chances at life. The more a person don’t care about themselves, the harder it is. (it may be also that It’s a coping mechanism)

    I improved my speaking skills since I’ve gone through trial and error. I think there’s no other way to truly learn convincing people other than trying to do it first-hand.

    There is a youtube channel called charisma on command. You can feel alot less pressure knowing a thing or two about charisma.

    Right on. I don’t know if people here have that kind of mindset of what lemmy is represented by, if that’s the case it isn’t great then. However I don’t think that attitude is necessarily bad either, building a good foundation for a community is great for the long run. With any kind of attitude what the community is about is still undeniably defined by the users there.

    I’ve seen comments about devs being busy implementing other stuff, so I was thinking if people can have a wiki hosted elsewhere maybe on github or just make lemmy posts and chain-link them together.

    Some of the ideas seem more of a burden to the community mod e.g. setting up a matrix server (and modding that too). But then again you already wrote that that is optional.

    Typo: I meant chatroom, that’s kinda unnecessary








  • XMPP is more safe, I can’t remember what exactly but I remember the whole XMPP vs Matrix thing, and matrix has this metadata problem, that spreads like a literal virus; instead of exchanging individual messages- entire chats while encrypted is stored in each server you federate. in regards to privacy Matrix isn’t the best. on top of that most people sign up matrix on matrix.org so that’s a huge chunk of metadata.

    However, your family and friends are sometimes boomers when it comes to signing up for xmpp. so what I’d do is use both and spoonfeed them every step of the way to use xmpp. I’d like to make an easy guide for xmpp one day.
