Quoting: TheBossQuoting: lucifertdarkTelegram isn't secure, the people who want to control our entire lives already have their claws deep into that piece of software & can eavesdrop any time they like, avoid it like the plague.Ive seen people say that, but no one can ever back it up.
It was explained multiple times already. Telegram server is insecure and not FOSS, there is no end to end encryption. I.e. if you want Big Brother to be on the other end, Telegram is an option ;)

Like I said, so is any service that you don't host yourself to know exactly what is happening with the data.
I use Telegram as I like the features and clients.
This isn't a privacy debate either, just pointing out places people can join in and chat or follow the news.

Quoting: ShmerlHm. I wouldn't recommend Telegram to privacy concerned. Its server isn't FOSS.
May be there should be some presence on diaspora*? https://diasporafoundation.org
Also, in addition to IRC it's good to have an XMPP chat room.
I do like Diaspora, Just lack of users and features, theres no groups so theres no hub for people who like certain types of things.
If the tech people on G+ switched to Diaspora and when Diaspora gains XMPP, I'd probably not use G+ except to talk to 2 people.

diaspora* already has XMPP support for local chat. "Groups" functionality can be emulated by using tags. Something like explicit groups could be useful though.

Not in diasp.eu yet, I only know 2 pods that have it currently, and group chats dont serve the same purpose as group pages, but they both complement each other.

Right, some pods have it, not all. My point is, it's a feature that diaspora* supports, but it's up to the podmin to set up XMPP server and pair it with diaspora*.
Once you have an XMPP server though you can set up any chats you want really. You can already do that on various existing ones, no need to wait for diaspora* to deliver it.

Took me a bit to realize Diaspora* literally has an asterisk in it's name; I kept looking for a footnote in your posts XD

Hah, yeah :) It hints to dandelion that's used for its mascot (as a symbol of decentralization).

I'm using the RSS with NetVibes.
I don't have the latest articles in real-time but I have a quick view of all of the news that I'm following in the same page.

Quoting: Sbrega82a 40k users social network isn't so mandatory. Cut out the non-english speakers (seems to be a lot due to the fact that the two bigger servers are german) I think the minimal effort to keep the page up to date isn't worth.
I don't really see why it matters that the two biggest servers are German. Most Germans speak English, especially the ones involved in tech and political stuff (I guess that's diaspora*'s prime target audience). As a German diaspora* user I'd be happy, if we had channel, group, whatever in the network ;-).
btw. There already is someone posting a lot of links to GoL under the #linux and #games tag.
