Another public #Jabber / #XMPP channel I co-moderate is the #LGBT / #LGBTQ / #LGBTQIA channel -
https://invite.joinjabber.org/#lgbt@conference.queer-spark.org?join
@maskedwitch - one of the most compassionate people I know of - runs this server and co-moderates all channels on it.
If you're new to XMPP (e.g. coming from #WhatsApp #Matrix #IRC #Signal #Telegram #Discord etc), this guide has everything you need to get started -

@dgar Love the variety of synonyms for "died" 😆
Lessons to be learned -
• Boycott #proprietary software - use #FreedomRespecting software (a.k.a. #Libre / #OpenSource / #FreeSoftware) which is free of corporate control, and
• Boycott #centralized services - use #federated services so you aren't locked into one service.#XMPP is still around, and thriving.

@simon Ideally, one would #SelfHost, on one's own terms. And if one moves to Codeberg (which uses #FreedomRespecting Forgejo), one still has the benefit of easily being able to move to a self-hosted Forgejo later. That's not so easy with GitHub and its mountain of proprietary features.
Thus, self-hosting is best. Community-run instances like @Codeberg and @disroot come second. And #proprietary platforms are a plague.

On the train ride back from Patna (#BiharFOSS), @ravi and I sardonically thanked Trump for the state of things in the US, which may have been why #GitHub disabled the #OrganicMaps repo and forced them to move to #FreedomRespecting #Forgejo.
"This will hopefully teach people why it's important to boycott #proprietary platforms. But why do people always wait around for such things to pass? #FreeSoftware activists had been warning them for like 10 years!" (Also...Sourceforge???)

Also, #FreeSoftware, #Libre / #OpenSource /mukt/āzād/swatantra software...all describe the effect on _the software_...that the software is freed from being private property. (We could even call it #Anarchist software 🙃)
That's good, but I'm more interested in describing the effect of such software on its _users_...hence, #FreedomRespecting software.

But I expect "#FreedomRespecting software" to provoke the question, "How can software be freedom-respecting?" A bit like hearing "Nonviolent Communication" sparks the question, "How can communication be nonviolent? Is there also such a thing as violent communication?" and potentially engages you in learning.
We're not always there to explain or provoke questions ourselves, so something that may do so automatically is desirable...

People new to #FreeSoftware assume it's "free as in free beer". #OpenSource misses the point - it's about the freedom (and for so many in India, "open source" = "free as in free beer" 😮💨🤦♀️). #Libre is unfamiliar and not self-explanatory.
That's why I call it #FreedomRespecting software. Can we all please switch to that?

@evanchaney What #privacy respecting alternatives should #Apple users move to? 🤔
Fairphone is only available in the EU, last I checked.
Android could work if you never use a Google account and stick to #FreedomRespecting software such as F-Droid instead of Play Store.
AOSP ROMs (such as #LineageOS) are ideal, but that usually entails buying used, or paying top-dollar to Google for a Pixel. There are probably local #FreeSoftware communities who'd love to help with the installation process.

Friendly reminder that the opposite of #FreedomRespecting software is not "paid software" - there's plenty of software which is both 🙂
Conversations, Cheogram, Monocles Chat, and OsmAnd come to mind...any other examples?

@fsf Great little resource to see what hardware is comptible with #FreedomRespecting Software.
From what we could gather the trend is towards there being less and less good hardware available? Yes? How unfortunate.
That's indeed the experience we've seen in Australia, its on steroids.
