Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

FB messenger silently censoring links, claims they were sent
For those looking for a no-censorship-ever-of-any-kind alternative, consider Status:
https://status.im/get/
If you don't need or want a crypto wallet or dapp browser, then simply don't use those parts of the app.
Relevant specs:

There are trade-offs, for sure: since there's (deliberately) no integration with contacts lists (address books) of the OS or other apps, your social circle probably isn't using the app already, or in any case isn't discoverable.
The public chats facility has turned out to be too spam-prone for "well known" / advertised chats, e.g. #status. However, if you create a public chat that has some unguessable component (e.g. #myfriends-a9e72ab5) and you share it with friends (even lots) in a reasonably private context, then the chances of it being spammed are quite low. Note that public chats, while "public", are still E2EE, using the chat's name as the basis for a symmetric key.
1-to-1 and private group chats are highly secure; the latter have a max size, and depending on their size and your device, sending messages can be a little slow.
Creating a robust alternative to the existing public chats facility has involved a lot of work: the forthcoming Communities features provides a discord-like facility whereby founders/admins of communities can take advantage of various mechanisms for moderation and governing membership. The Communities feature can already be enabled in advanced preferences of both mobile and desktop apps, but note it's a WIP.
The moderation mechanisms for communities don't undermine the no-censorship principle of Status because:
(1) Any user can create a community.
(2) A community's rules are managed by those with a stake in the community, there's no override by Status-the-org nor anyone else.
(3) The underlying nodes of the network form a decentralized p2p network, i.e. there's no central actor/authority that controls the flow of messages.
Re: (3), running a Status node should be easy and incentivized.
The "incentivized" aspect is a challenging problem and not solved yet. Long story short, engineering an incentivized decentralized messaging network (not a blockchain!) is harder than incentivizing a blockchain network.
That being said, the "easy" aspect isn't too difficult to solve, sneak peek:

Finally, with pertinent laws and regulations in flux across the globe, there could come a day when binaries aren't readily available (from app stores, GitHub, etc.), but thankfully there's always `git clone` and `make`.

Starry Night
What if there was a language we could speak in at the speed of light, with no distortion? As Ho notes, thermodynamics was based on the anaerobic view of the universe, where heat energy transforms into mechanical work, but "the predominant energy transductions in the living system are instead, electronic, electric and electromagnetic, as consistent with the primary energy source on which life depends as well as the electromagnetic nature of all molecular and intermolecular forces." Humans evolved from using fire to electricity for heat, just as the world evolved from thermophilic single-celled organisms to algae that ate light and paved the way for human evolution, just as human thought evolved from a heat-based thermodynamics to an electro-quantum one.

What's the status and progress of decentralized social media?
I have waiting for about a year for Lens Protocol to become available to everyone and official, but the news hasn't yet come. In Ethereum's website, it recommends other decentralized social networks too like Status.im, Mirror.xyz, and even talks about Twitter. What's the progress happening in the field, and which one is going to become popular in your opinion? Has any of them become popular among users who are already using it?
