Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Jami vs Skype: welcome to where your privacy matters

In an era when online communication is dominated by centralized platforms, Jami sets itself apart by offering a freer, more privacy-friendly approach. Like Skype and other similar services, Jami lets you make audio and video calls, one-to-one or in groups, exchange messages, share files and much more. However, unlike Skype, which relies on proprietary servers and collects personal data, Jami adopts a decentralized philosophy. Here are a few key differences that make Jami a unique alternative for users concerned about their autonomy and privacy.

Anyone still using skype in 2025 clearly didn't give a shit about privacy, it's been owned by Microsoft for 14 years now.

last time i tried jami it just kept crashing.

It hasn't crashed for me yet but it's flaky as anything. The most annoying part is getting notifications on mobile for messages you send yourself from desktop.

Run in-house or use a public instance.

Not the same thing.

In a few use cases they can overlap, but Jitsi is for ephemeral video conferencing, whereas Jami is an always-on messenger.

I didn't even know Skype has messenger features. I've only come across it as a really crappy (but good at dealing with firewalls) video conference thing. And evil, of course.

I'm looking for something I can switch my grand parents from Skype to, is this software user friendly?
