There's as well !monero[email protected] which I guess halted in favor of !monero[email protected]?

If this is the case, I'm wondering why not locking the community, writing a message in the community information to go to the actual active one (!monero[email protected])...

I'm missing emoji reactions (not replies), jeje

I'm not aware of any, do you mind sharing anyone, better if not requiring account?

BTW I can easily find blogs about p2p solutions for whatever, but not about p2p blogging solutions...

The issue with social networks is the account requirement. Even though decentralized, they still require servers with accounts. If you, to prevent not being able to access at some point included an email, and the server gets hacked, then there you go.

Perhaps is a mistake of mine, to think social networks are not anonymous enough. Maybe they are. But tracking mechanisms are so sophisticated now a days, than the need for an account make me think they won't ever be. That's why I excluded social networks. Perhaps it's the only option as of Today though.

umap on french servers, and umap is between other things an API on top of open streetmap...

Is that correct?

I has improved quite a bit. The phone app still requires navigating over its settings to get less battery consumption, and having ntfy or any other unifiedPush notification provider available in the phone. But with the default configs, you get Jami working at least. I tried it before, and I found before synchronization between devices was a mess. Currently it just works. I still find it hard on immediate/urgent calls or messages, which might not happen when you expect, but other than that it's working.

On the desktop, the default configs are pretty sane.

And the best part, it's being actively developed. And the UI is undergoing through lots of improvements. So if usability is your concern, it's getting better, and each release improves over the prior one...

The audit is true, but at least Jami didn't make up its own crypto lib, it uses standard already in use crypto stuff. To there's a huge difference there.

BTW, they are actually re-writing stuff... But yes, they need more recent audits...

Have you read it's github front page?

This is an experimental cryptographic network library. It has not been formally audited by an independent third party that specializes in cryptography or cryptanalysis. Use this library at your own risk.

BTW, if you look at its issues (including closed ones, which most probably aren't really closed) you'll find pretty interesting discussions about its crypto not being right. That said, I'm not sure what irungentoo brings to the picture...

At any rate, if you're looking for distributed messaging, I'd look into Jami. It also uses DHT and something similar to torrents mechanism. Jami is my only option so far for distributed messaging. There's also Briar, but I don't like it for regular messaging, particularly on phones (too much battery usage), neither its underlying technology, but if it's to your liking, then that's another option for distributing messaging.

I'm all for Jami, and XMPP.

Jami is the GNU alternative, if you're wondering
