Dear all,

I propose that we post about how people can judge instant messengers.I have started a thread on codema regarding the same https://codema.in/d/CTeAEuGh/our-stand-on-ethical-instant-messengers .

The current write-up is a bit WhatsApp centred and also explains the concepts of decentralization, federation and peer-to-peer communications. This is just a first draft so I am sure it needs a lot of improvements.

Please post your comments/suggestions regarding the same.

I apologize that I forgot to mention the last date to comment is 20 January 2021.

We are having a meeting on 10th Feb 2021 9 PM to publish this on FSCI website https://codema.in/d/CTeAEuGh/our-stand-on-ethical-instant-messengers .

Let's have the meeting on 15th Feb 2021 9PM IST.

We had a meeting today to take a stand on instant messengers. The outcome is a draft which is at the following link https://codema.in/d/CTeAEuGh/our-stand-on-ethical-instant-messengers.

I would like to request your comments/suggestions (as a reply to this email or comment there on Codema itself) especially in deciding the title of the article.
