Request for comments/suggestions on codema thread about "Our stand on ethical instant messengers"

by Ravi Dwivedi

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. Last date to comment is 20 January 2021. -- Ravi Dwivedi

Make this list available on gmane/gwene

by Pankaj Jangid

Dear Admins, Could you please make this list available as gwene/gmane newsgroup? Earlier fsf-friends was available as gmane.org.fsf.india.fsf-friends. But it looks like that, that is also disconnected now. At least it looks like so. I posted a message today but it did not appear on the newsgroup. Why am I requesting? - Lists available as newsgroups makes it easy to subscribe using nntp clients. And it doesn’t clutter the mailboxes if we don’t check mails for, say, about a month. Emacs mailing lists are available as: gmane.emacs.bugs gmane.emacs.devel gmane.emacs.emacsconf gmane.emacs.gnus.general gmane.emacs.gnus.user gmane.emacs.help gmane.emacs.humanities gmane.emacs.orgmode gmane.emacs.tangents Posting to these mailing lists is allowed without subscribing. So users can post to mailing lists and read replies (thread) via newsgroup. If the user verifies the email-id then they can post directly to the newsgroup. Admins may contact Lars for help. He is really helpful and generous person.

Right time to tell people about alternates of WhatsApp

by Pankaj Jangid

We have got a perfect opportunity to bombard all our social media accounts to tell people about WhatsApp’s new terms and condition. And perhaps tell them about alternatives. I have shared my matrix id for public communication and Signal for those who already have my cell number. Please share your thoughts on this. -- Regards, Pankaj Jangid GnuPG Fingerprint: 0B62 7424 3B26 A911 052A DDE6 7C95 6E6F F858 7689
