  • I register on reddit 17 years ago. Before the great migration from digg. I remember /r/programming being the first sub to reach 100k subscribers.

    I got banned for saying in the /r/europe sub that russia banning youtube in russia was a good thing because then we in the west would get less russian propaganda. Got banned for a couple days. Left and never looked back.

    /r/programming is dead already since around a decade. All the good discussions moved to hackernews and lobsters.

    EDIT: never forget that spez admitted to silently edit user comments that criticized him





  • Why would you prefer XMPP? Last time I checked most features (like E2EE) weren’t part of the base protocol.

    Just because it is not part of the base protocol, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or supports it.

    I like it for personal reasons. Just because is lightweight and there are way much more servers than matrix, imho makes it better. However, In the end it boils down to personal preferences and your attack surface.

    It supports mail, but also has an encrypted normal chat backend AFAIK

    WHen i tried it years ago, it was just a normal email with a special subject that the delta chat client would read, parse and display.


  • Maybe add Signal; It’s easier than Element, but it’s also centralized

    signal runs on amazon servers. Anything that can’t self host and isn’t federate isn’t worth it. Matrix (and element) fill this requirement. But IMHO, the best is XMPP where you can self-host or use federated servers located in other countries.

    Maybe add Delta chat

    Delta chat is basically email.

    Remove Stremio

    Why? Because it’s torrents?

    Other alternatives would be viaplay or britbox. Unfortunately there’s no legal alternative that’s available in all europe.

    Add aurora

    Aurora is just a front-end for google playstore. You should add f-droid
