🧊 freezr 🥶<p>I downloaded <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=Jami" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jami</span></a> to test it out but even though they state their communication are <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=P2P" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>P2P</span></a> you still need to create an account and therefore connect to a server...</p><p>This is not what I want...</p><p>When the connection was bad we had all these P2P applications, now that the connection is good we do not have anything that is P2P anymore, perhaps for communication there is still <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=Briar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Briar</span></a> but it looks to me a bit extreme: it is also one of those applications that once you use it quickly you have all the security agencies targeting you... 🤔</p><p>I can't avoid to think that P2P application were criminalized because inconvenient since authorities and governments can't shutdown distributed networks. Speaking of communication software today we have plenty of solutions that are challenging to each others to be most privacy oriented, but all rely on a centralized server, this means that governments and law enforcement — of any grade — have a single point of attack if they want silence or tracking down someone or the entire network.</p><p>The ones behind these projects will reply to me the reason for a centralized server is to provide the best service possible to their users/customers, and while this sound reasonable I think that <strong>I don't need the state of the art of the open source communication software</strong> that aims to compete to the proprietary counterparts, on the contrary I need a service that is managed by nobody, and it is resilient because distributed. I don't care about quality of service or performance, <strong>I care about freedom, sustainability and resiliency (intended as distributed network). These are the characteristic I would like to have for my messaging and conference software.</strong></p><p><a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freedom</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freesoftware</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=instantmessaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>instantmessaging</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=conferencecall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conferencecall</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=distributednetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>distributednetwork</span></a></p>
