All files stored on IPFS are public. It’s also incredibly slow and inefficient. You would be better off using BitTorrent.

The NGO is a decoy organization with exactly the same people (minus one) as the VC funded startup. Go look at the “core spec team” and find out which organization they belong to.
Your information on XMPP seems to be quite outdated. File transfer in XMPP is now mostly done by uploading the file via HTTP and sending the URL. Audio calls are done using WebRTC and work two ways.
Telegram requires internet access and even worse, relies on a central server. It’s not a mesh network.
“protocol extensions” (aka: incompatible)
Reality shows that implementations can very well implement the same extensions. If you don’t use extremely outdated clients you will find they do have compatible file transfer and A/V calls. ActivityPub works the same way.
Meanwhile Matrix Ltd. cooks up a completely new, incompatible protocol instead of building upon existing internet standards.
I don’t see the reason we need a venture capital funded bloated protocol anyways. Just switch to XMPP. It’s much more lightweight and it’s the internet standard for instant messaging.
Here is what I used before I switched to desec.io: https://gist.github.com/haansn08/50565768c66c5fbf382b2bc2484e8a41
Please don’t get worked up over a 4chan post…
Texstudio + git > Overleaf
Sync between devices. I only read RSS on one device so I don’t need it either. Besides if you don’t think a service is useful to you why do you host it?
Isn’t Bluesky much smaller than Mastodon?
Signal is just another walled garden silo with no real value over WhatsApp just owned by a different organization. I won’t use anything which is not XMPP compatible.
But it gets easier with every thing. You learn the more general concepts too.
I have spent […] thousands of hours trying to setup various different services on various different platforms
I don’t believe you. If you spend that much time on something you get good at it.
Settings > Default Font. (This is a serious answer for Firefox 120).
Facebook, mostly. For China it’s WeChat.
We can only imagine how the internet was to the natives before the eternal September.
Can you prove that anyone except you exists?
You’re reading this and you’re not me, qed.
I actually just wanted OP to consider it. I know there cannot be definitive proof.
Yes. I wanted to write max.
