raddi VS sydent

Hello :) Check out my raddi.net (work in progress). If you can help or wish to know about launch, then we have /r/raddi

Raddi.net

We needed that 5 years ago when I started my raddi.net, which is exactly what you describe.

I'm building one, raddi.net.

Ah, China. She and similar regimes are exactly what I had in mind when designing my (still unfinished) raddi.net.

You can check out my project, raddi.net (progress status in /r/raddi, sources on github.com/raddinet).

Exactly! Exactly what I'm building :)

If you're planning to toy with it more, run it with "display:all" parameter, it will output much more info. And if you are really into it, all the already supported parameters are documented in: https://github.com/raddinet/raddi/blob/master/doc/parameters.txt

I researched Nostr a little, to determine how it compares to my Raddi.net, especially since they seem well funded and if Nostr were to attempt to accomplish the same, I could... well I don't exactly know what it would mean.

Technically, my raddi.net is too. You can pretty easily construct a message, and broadcast it onto the network, from an application of your own. No need to have our software.

GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects.

Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use.

For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in), try Matrix instead: https://matrix.org/

I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance.

[0] https://matrix.org

Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... slowly improving.

I'm trying to change my account provider from "matrix.org" to whatever Element One needs, and for the life of me I just don't understand what values I have to put where to be able to log in. I tried `element.io`, which takes me to sso.element.io but this doesn't seem like the right thing (no credentials work as I expect.
