    I don’t agree with the assumption that federated protocols promisve easy moving between services

  4. jonas’

    at least that’s not my perception of it

  5. southerntofu

    sure, but that's in the public discourse about interoperability and decentralization for over a decade now :)

  6. jonas’

    weird

  7. southerntofu

    i mean that's the kind of arguments EFF, La Quadrature and others have been pushing

  8. southerntofu

    and it does make sense to some extent

  9. jonas’

    wasn’t EFF the org which also pushed Signal?

  10. southerntofu

    yes as a practical "it's good crypto" measure, not out of ideology

    "it's good crypto by a non-profit that normal people can actually use even if it's not our perfect ideal". The EFF is great, can't blame them because later the company decided to do shady crypto coin things.
