    Yeah, I’ve been thinking this for a long while now. Could we open a serious discussion?

    Edit: Not even cuz of trump but for opsec and resiliency as a whole.

        I dunno, moving to something peer to peer would be my suggestion. We may loose federation but what do we use that for anyway besides trolling libs?

          Whatever it is, we should do it over one of those anonymizing overlay networks

          Just putting the site on one of those is a start at least

          We may loose federation but what do we use that for anyway besides trolling libs?

          Well… yeah lol, idk, I used to be more positive on federation but usually all I see is the same Reddit sludge outside of Hexbear and Lemmygrad

          At least some people have come over. If we take this step we’re basically gonna be more isolated than ever

            Yeah I dunno. The new freenet seems promising for ease of use and integration with federation but idk how they do with privacy. Veilid seems to have the reverse problem. I’m sure there’s a solution but we should have a real discussion on what that is.

              Personally I’d want to go with something proven and widely in-use already like I2P or maybe Tor

              Especially cuz of the relative ease of moving over cuz we don’t have a lot of devs

              I don’t know much about the new Freenet tbh, I used to be into the old one though, cool as hell tech tbh but bad implementation

                The new one is under development and looks interesting, but this really isn’t the place to get into it. If someone else doesn’t I’ll make a post in the next few days.

                I am trying to load the server on Element. Was looking at the info from the sidebar about how to join. But I am missing something I think. It says that if I am using my account from the default matrix server that I need an email. But it doesn’t say where I need to use that in order to find the server to join. I can manage to search and find individual rooms, but not like a main way to have the server itself with the subrooms show up. Do you happen to know what I might be missing?

                    I just figured that a server would show as a space and have the rooms listed. But I am also not a big Matrix user and after reading your reply, I did check the spaces I have joined and they do seem to be from the default Matrix server. I also just noticed that even though I joined the vetting questions and answers rooms that someone that joined after me gave answers. But I don’t see any questions provided since I joined like 48hrs ago being sent to me. So I might just make a second account via the actual server. Just noticed that the Element app seems to not have a multi account option. So will just need to either be logging in and out to check for stuff in my current stuff. Or maybe find a new app that can allow quick changing between accounts. Thanks though for replying.
