Thank you! :-) I went with Planka for now. We’ll see how well it works. But I like it so far! :-D

Let us know your thoughts! I’ve been using it for years. Definitely some jank, definitely not for everyone, but again it’s been pretty good for me. And if you really want you can run your own server.

Lol that’s an absolutely fair request. Have you asked on Element github? Sounds like a Mich needed feature.

Matrix via Element works great for me personally and it’s available now. :-D

Happy to have folks on e2ee matrix. It supports calling directly and group voice and video chat rooms quite well IMO. :-)

Cory is amazing. I interviewed him on Fireside Fedi and that dude has so many well thought out points. He changed my mind on Threads coming into the Fediverse.

This has been tried and tried again. The first time I remember seeing this was in the '90’s where a “free” dial up ISP was trying this. NetZero maybe? Didn’t work then, won’t work now. They’ll pay out so little it won’t be worth it. Don’t do it kids!

Thank YOU! :-)

Framasoft are incredible folks. I just did an interview with Booteille yesterday!

Planka looks beautiful. I have a friend that recommended this as well. GOnna try out Planka.

That’s awesome! Thank you so much for the thorough explanation. :-)

Thanks! I was wondering why that was. I looked at pipewire and it had been updated. That’s smart. Very happy to be on a stable base of Debian.

Thank you for the link. Just trying to spark conversation. :-) Do you have any specific experiences with any of them that you like?

Thank you! Do you recommend one over the other? or you’ve used them both and like them both equally?

Friendica is what they want. I agree. And you can get all of your content inside Friendica and never leave. Follow mastodon folks, pixelfed folks, lemmy communities, peertube channels, etc.

That’s because it is another bubble. They’re all bubbles IMO. Since the boom of the internet they’ve all been scrambling from one fools gold rush to the next. Crypto, nft, metaverse, AI. Heel even social media that was given freely isn’t returning the expected investments and that’s why they’re all enshitiffying.

Good. Good. Good. Good. Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Good. Good. Good. Good.

Wife ordered a twelve pack of prismacolor. Thank you! :-)

Never heard of those. Thank you!

Wow! That was incredibly thorough! That’s awesome! Thank you so much for the great answer and taking the time to go over all of that! It is greatly appreciated.
