  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

  • Can we actively do something to help this process?

  • I think it's crazy that an art sub is more popular than an art forum.

    I suppose it's the low barrier. People are already on Reddit and thus join the subreddits.

    We have a great opportunity with the Fediverse here to replace them.

  • But many people don't want to have everything completely public, even if privacy is a illusion there.

    We have to accept that and provide a solution for both.

  • As a result, I am just asking follow-on questions to further discern what makes Element preferable.

    If you are against a change in the first place you won't switch, anyway.

    There are people who love them, but when people ask about them, they don't offer any really informative data to support why they like them.

    Please, ask.

    What makes Element (matrix) a secure platform, and how does that differ from telegram or signal or whatever. Like. What is matrix good at? That's what I'm asking. Why suggest it over something else?

    Simple. It's fully free and open source. The server as well as the apps. Therefore, you can trust it as a privacy friendly solution a heck of a lot more, than any other solution like WhatsApp.

    Signal is secure as well, but the server is centralized.

    And Telegram is not considered secure because of their implementation and shady practices.

  • That's a good argument. But shouldn't we then promote FOSS solutions like Perplexica?

  • And what can we do about it now? I mean we have the Fediverse. It's 20 million users are not the most but it's not nothing. We can build on that.

  • If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don't have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.

    We're talking about Reddit. It's one of the biggest porn sites out there. If anything, it's way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

    Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum? Most of the ones I have seen use Discourse, which is open source but unfortunately not federated.

    Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it's just a community on a platform.

    We're all a big community. I think people get this quickly.

  • And still is Reddit by far the biggest. How can we change that?
