A personal comment: for 30 years I lived in a district of Krakow occupied by two gangs of football hooligans.

They were the scum that I despise most: feeling strong only in a group, aggressive, randomly vandalising things, involved in occasional killings, trading amphetamine and steroid, then going to church on Sunday and posing as proper patriots.

Being practically identical in their retardedness, they however perceived each other as the absolute opposite and evil. Tribalism sucks...

This is a funny story - when Bellingcat was outing Russian troops in Ukraine, critics were accusing them of defending "nazis".

Then Belling started outing actual nazis from Ukraine and Russia, on both sides of the frontline, and it's being accused of spreading "nazi hysteria" and libel.

An interesting complaint to a media watchdog (dismissed) that documents the latter.

Also a beautiful example of tribal thinking: maybe they're nazis, but they are *our* nazis πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

No, quite the opposite - Jitsi worked for me on all browsers.

SfB requires an EXE plugin. Zoom same, although you apparently can use their web client with a bit of hacking (because they first offer EXE). To schedule meeting on both you need to be a registered user.

None of these issues with Jitsi. I link to jitsi.rocks because it allows you to select the closest Jitsi instance.

@kravietz and if you want bigger groups in your chat, check out BigBlueButton... bigbluebutton.org - fully open source, supports up to 100 people in a room... it's a feature of the free plan at moodlecloud.com or you can run it yourself.

Over the last week I've been through endless discussions on team : Skype for Business & Zoom don't work on Linux, Slack has limit on 12 people etc etc etc.

People, just go to jitsi.rocks/ choose closest instance and start the call, zero burden...

@strypey

No, I don't mean it's not useful - I guess it's just complex from architecture point of view. Uniqueness can be ensured either by scanning the whole blockchain or by some kind of hash-addressed database. SSB on its own is just a quite simple protocol to distribute messages between peers using an append-only log. PatchWork is an application built *on top* of SSB, so this perhaps would require another application to be built.

@strypey

Ok, this indeed makes sense. I guess the blockchain would need to ensure uniqueness of the nicknames stored, which is the key difference with SSB.

This certainly will go to crypto snake oil chronicles πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

@strypey

If you want to disappear from social networks and delete your account, how do you do this with blockchain?

@strypey

Because all messages are digitally signed, there were discussions to possibly automate it - so if a SSB client sees a signed message "this is my new account" to somehow link them or auto-follow, but because the existing model works well nobody really cared.

@strypey

Correct, you can't "reserve" a nickname uniquely purely by means of protocol, but SSB is very much modeled after real life social interactions. When you initially post as `strypey` and you gain some followers, and you then come up with your new SSB node on your phone, you simply post a message on your _original_ account "hey look here's my second account" and you authenticate it through the authority of original account.
