That you for helping me understand the difference. I’d say to your point 99% of the internet shouldn’t NEED to collect any user data. But data is the new oil. The currently reality sucks. And sadly reading the TOS won’t help anyone, because who knows what they’re doing. But now I understand the difference between AR and ARGs. Again thank you. :)
Just following in the footsteps of Pokemon go and all the other AR games that were harvesting your data that they said they could use for whatever. Now it’s being used for AI. And in some cases, training AI for military weapons.
Bought this when it hit EA. Super excited to see the numbers on the reviews, 40k last I saw, so that’s like 4 million sales. Reviews are usually around 1-2% of total sales. So that’s awesome. Very excited to get to 1.0 and play the hell out of Enshrouded. It’s EXCELLENT.
Incredible work Minhee! Keep up the amazingness! The world is better because of y our work. Thank you SO MUCH!
There’s Matrix. That’s more like Discord. And everything is encrypted. You can run your own matrix server. Have different rooms for different topics. Do private messaging between individuals. Verify each other so you know if someone’s device changes that you need to verify them again.
I don’t know how difficult it is to set up, but I know many people have done it.
You absolutely can run Fediverse software yourself. That’s how the internet was created and we have you claw it back from big Tech.
First you should figure out what you want to run. For a few folks and basic microblogging, GoToSocial is super easy to set up, but it’s limited.
Bonfire is an amazing fediverse app and it’s getting better everyday. They’re trying to make it a platform for communities and it’s very extensible.
Emissary is also amazing platform for fediverse stuff and then there’s HTML and CSS editor to really build what you want from there. Like bonfire, but you have to really create the site you want.
If you want reddit style, I like piefed over Lemmy.
Forums with fediverse? Nodebb.
Pictures only? Pixelfed
Live streams? Owncast
Hosting videos? Peertube
And it all interconnects. So you could run Bonfire, and follow someone on Peertube and comment and like from Bonfire.
It’s overwhelming. Id suggest write down what you’re wanting and then look at each project and see what fits.
I run my own bonfire at btfree.social and a public peertube at tubefree.org.
Happy to help however I can. I’ve done some install videos and going to do more soon.
We’re winning! Keep up the food work everyone. I know the EFF won’t be leaving the Fediverse, so let’s make sure we’re all doing what we can as well!
No clue. Thanks for engaging the community though. :)
