From my experience of getting other people on Signal, the main issue is that not everyone is already on it. People generally want to use only one app and it attracts them to the most popular one because they don’t need to switch as much.

Secondary issues are:

• No automatic phone transfer (no cloud backups, has to be done manually)
• No large public channels

I might add another one, but it applies to WhatsApp too - it’s crazy that there’s still no easy way to move between iOS and Android…

Wdym “boring”, what do you want a messenger app to do? It does what it’s there for and it does it well.

Haha, that’s cool

I wonder if they could now make floppy disks with the same form factor but modern tech

You’re taking this too seriously lol

What if the bugs are linux-specific? lol

Ah, I never encountered that. I see. Is it mostly in remote areas?

I’m all for IPv6, it’s just that there’s always something extra you have to do to set it up.

There’s another question: will we ever actually run out of IPv4 addresses, so that cloud providers and ISPs no longer offer them?

I’ve suggested a routing protocol to the lemmy devs - to use federated instances to route all the messages to other federated instances. The idea was received with some interest, but it seems that people believe that there’s still a ton of performance that can be squeezed out from the current architecture through optimisations.

I usually just VPN to my routers if possible. Point to point is feels more reliable than a hole-punching mesh or proxy. On the other hand, this seems to create an end-to-end secure tunnel.

Is this Chicken Run? 😮
