@kuketzblog da widerspreche ich vehement.
Es gibt #proprietär|e #Silos welche qua #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider-Aufbau als #InformationBlackhole agieren (u.a. #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Threema, #Session, #Telegram, #discord, …)
und es gibt #OffeneStandards die #Wahlfreiheit zwischen #Clients, #Plattformen, #Servern und #Providern ermöglichen (u.a. #IRC, #Zulip, #RocketChat, ...) und echte #E2EE mit #SelfCustody aller Schlüssel ermöglichen (u.a. #XMPP+#OMEMO & #PGP/MIME)...
Natürlich steht es Menschen frei irgendeinen großen, zentralisierten Anbieter zu nutzen, nur wird dieser am ehesten zur #Enshittification neigen und mit #PII wie #Telefonnummern entsprechende Begierlichkeiten wecken!
During the last 40 years, I've consulted for over a thousand clients. Here are some of the pros & cons of consulting for large organizations.
All too often, clients who are planning an event don't spend enough time making hard but important event choices.

I want to like Tuba, I really do, but it is SO ... SLOW. Not just in normal interaction (yes, that's slow), but when it goes to fetch new toots it just jumps out of the window for minutes at a time and due to the shit that is GNOME/Gtk4 that means all the window-level controls are dead: can't iconify, can't move it aside, ... and no, I don't use GNOME as an environmeng and tbh I don't understand why anyone does.
Whalebird is worse, performance-wise. Tokodon is at least as bad.
Is there no deck-style native Fediverse client for Linux? Preferably that is not based on Gtk4/anything GNOMEish?
Major NY #law firms significant players in #litigation against Trump admin during 1st term r nowhere to be found in flood of 2nd term litigation. They have privately made clear not interested in taking risk that Trump will target them, scare off their #corporate #clients. Law firms are similarly reluctant to let their #lawyers take on pro bono representation of former Biden admin officials and others who, like Smith, could be in the Trump Justice Department’s crosshairs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/02/27/trump-clearances-covington-jack-smith/
Client: It is imperative we get these scans done in February.
Me: OK, please turn on the device that we ask you to keep online but you refuse to.
Client: It's powered on.
Me: I don't see it on the VPN.
--- 24 hours later ---
Me: I still don't see it on the VPN. Can someone connect a monitor and just make sure it is on the network?
Client: Oh yeah it wasn't connected to the network.
Me: ...
I should up my rates for this client...
Tonight, because of the problems with TweeseCake and Blob.cat compatibility, I was reminded of TWBlue. Normally, I don't use it, because I can't edit posts. But other than that one feature, I love it! It even has a few features that TweeseCake doesn't, including the ability to view followers, those whom you follow, and blocked users. It even allows searching within posts and for people! It also allows me to view favourites, which TweeseCake has only partially implemented. There, they disappear, but here, they remain visible. I was also wrong when I said that I can't post paragraphs. It's just that, instead of hitting return as I normally would (and as in TweeseCake, for those curious), I have to hit shift+return. Interestingly, I found that I can edit my Friendica profile perfectly, excluding Friendica-only features such as keywords. Remember, both of these clients are made to work with Mastodon, and the only reason they can work with other platforms is their compatibility with it. Anyway, when I try to edit my profile on Blob.cat, I can't. After I choose "Edit", nothing happens. But the most vexing thing is that TWBlue doesn't include an editing feature for posts! If anyone here works with and/or for them, can you plese either suggest this or strongly consider implementing it? It would make life so much easier and would complement the other features very well.

For comparison monocles / @monocles doesn't collect any #PII whatsoever and one can get their #Apps not only for free (or choose one's own #clients because unlike #Signal they only use open & standardized protocols!) but also pay using #CashByMail and #Monero for maximum #privacy.
So it's not a #VCmoneyBurningParty but actually #sustainable!

@cwebber personally, I think it's most important to have #MultiVendor & #MultiProvider, #OpenStandards that allow for #SelfHosting and a thriving ecosystem.
Plus it allows for #SelfCustody of all the keys!
While I do 99% of everything using Windows, I decided to try Raccoon for Friendica for Android, since I was curious about it. I was able to go through the settings, though a few things just said "unlabelled". However, this is one of those apps that won't accept input from a real keyboard. So I couldn't even sign in! It had an instance as an example, but Talkback read it as actual text in the edit field, and when I tried to write my own instance, nothing happened. I also couldn't delete their example. So right now, Raccoon fails in accessibility. However, it is relatively new, so perhaps, this will change in the near future.

What are the differences between Diaspora, Pleroma, Hubzilla, Hometown, and Glitch? How do they compare to Friendica as far as features? I've heard there are Mastodon instances that allow for longer posts, editing, and deletion. Do they also allow for extensive profiles with keywords, etc? Are there any other networks I should know about? Finally, will the interface of the page on Friendica change depending on my instance? Maybe, it's just a matter of changing that! If I changed to another network, I'm guessing I couldn't export my profile, followers, etc. there. Most importantly, I need something that is truly compatible with Mastodon, because that's technically what TweeseCake was designed for. Since Friendica is very compatible, I can use TweeseCake without any problems.

I left Facebook in October of 2024 precisely to avoid inaccessibility, clutter, and frustration of their main site. Now, I am feeling the same thing with regard to Friendica. I joined here because of the extremely long character limit, the many sites with which I can interact, and the fact that I can edit and delete posts, as well as post locally. Whenever I try to edit a post on the main site, I have problems. This has been true since day one. Now, I'm going to my posts, and instead of seeing the content, I'm only seeing my profile and the tags. I have to go through that same process of editing just to be able to read what the post is. Yes, I use TweeseCake most of the time and it works well, but I have no way of searching posts. So I must use Lukol or try to use Friendica itself to find them, which isn't easy either, unless I tagged them with something unique. On Facebook, I would type my name, a few words from the post, and it would show up. I also have no way of simply sorting comments on TweeseCake as I do, for example, on Luna for Reddit. So I have been missing people's replies to my posts, because I keep getting notifications and other things in my timelines that bury said replies. That may be my fault, as I have several people marked to show all posts. Still, their posts shouldn't show under Mentions if they're not tagging me or replying to my posts, and yet, they do.
I just want to find a site that is easy to use like the Basic Mobile version of Facebook used to be or like Dreamwidth still is, or a client like Luna for Reddit that makes Friendica truly accessible. TweeseCake is 98% there, but there are still a few things that I can't do on it. Perhaps, a dedicated Windows client would be best, and no, I don't mean some strange app that looks like the website.
I would try another instance, but I have a feeling that it will look similar, since it's based on the same software. If I am wrong, please tell me, and I will gladly switch!
