I think the hardest part is the DNS and federation
Simplex Chat is better in many ways. The biggest reason is that you can self host the server.
It lacks a security audit
Have you used it before? I’m curious about how it works. I don’t personally have a use case but it seems very cool.
I don’t think Briar could be on iOS due to Apple TOS.
Briar is really interesting but it doesn’t work as well for a casual messager. It is a bit complex to setup and very hard to understand unless you have strong knowledge on the subject. I think it is very powerful but breaks the standard convention most messaging applications follow.
I wish Piped and Invidious were federated. It would make it so much harder to block.
If one instance gets blocked it could just pull video from another instance. Combine this with some sort of caching system and you would be golden.
Newpipe works for me. Try updating to the latest version.
Yes, privacy
Some Invidious instances are still partially functional.
I use ZFS but you need to be very aware of its problems
Learn zpool
Use Signal or Simplex.
Signal does require a phone number. However, as long as you understand what that means you are fine.
Honestly though this could work if it was just a configuration file. Maybe something like Nix, Ansible or a bash script.
Sounds like malware
I can’t see that happening but you never know
Leave it to college kids to abuse the system
You are kind of wrong in two ways. First Doxxing is where you reveal someone’s information to the public without there consent. Usually this is done to get members of the public to harass or harm the victim in some way.
The second part of where you are wrong is the use of the term PII. PII is does not include active surveillance. It is things like your birth date, SSN and records.
It is fine on the balenced setting. It is less fine when you run it with constant checking.
