Ik ben met reddit gestopt, maar eigenlijk los van Lemmy. Was eigenlijk wel prima om daar minder tijd te besteden.

In die zin is het ook een beetje een voordeel dat Lemmy kleiner is; eigenlijk kijk ik daar één keer per dag, en dan is het prima. Als ik het onverhoopt nog een keer open, dan ben ik er zo weer weg, omdat ik het al heb gezien.

Hmm, that's weird. Maybe it's already on your toolbar? For me it's a little head silouette, although I imagine it might also be your Mozilla Account avatar?

Oh no worries, I have used XMPP (though admittedly in the far past) and am on Matrix as we speak.

I did give them a try in Nightly (but I'm on release for regular use), but I do have a button there on my toolbar. You could try right-clicking on the toolbar, selecting "Customise Toolbar...", and then adding the Account button. Unfortunately, it's still in another menu under the Account button, so I think it might not even save you a click. Maybe something to suggest on Mozilla Connect?

Trump is the best thing to ever happen to news networks

Or to single-letter social network sites.

Have you used the new Profiles on Nightly as well? They look pretty neat! I might actually start using them myself.

I think you're right that we are going in circles now, so let's end it here :) Thanks for the discussion!

Re: "Signal technically cannot know your social graph" (...)

I would go into the specific points, but really none of this invalidates my main point that Signal is a marked step forward, seems to be having some success, and that undermining that success is therefore misguided. Heck, Signal might be a stepping stone to people using whatever decentralised system you prefer! I was around in WhatsApp's early days, and never adopted it, because the picture was never as rosy as Signal's. Of course, it did become significantly worse when Facebook acquired it, but that happens to be exactly the thing that can't easily happen to Signal.

I will say that I agree that nothing is eternal, but that's no reason to encourage people to stay on WhatsApp (which is what disparaging Signal use will actually achieve).

No, in a decentralized system, (...) you can be your own service provider

My point was that you'll be communicating with people each of whom chose their own service poviders, and thus you're also trusting those.

This was a bug

And looks like it's been fixed :)

Ads are one thing, but this seems excessive and probably unintentional. Looks like someone just filed this bug, which is another sign that it might be an unintentional problem: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1944704

Hier nog wat tips voor als je overstapt, met bijv. een afbeelding die je kan gebruiken voor je Stories om aan te kondigen dat je overstapt.

On-topic: ik ben even ziek geweest (griepje wss), maar gelukkig weer aan de betere hand :)
