Agreed. However most websites actually might perform better and be more secure as static sites?
I think Wordpress can be great for those who need it but people should first see if a static locally developed site can meet their needs.

We made the decision not to publicly promote the launch of our campaign earlier this year due to the Gaza crisis as they are most deserving of your funding. However, some backers have claimed the 'social media shoutout' tier which requires public acknowledgement.

We can't blame the protocol for server software or client apps. It's an open protocol so people are free to make their own apps. There's the Conduit matrix server software for example developed by people outside the Matrix Foundation. Does it also have the same issue as Synapse?

2024-07-26 21:49:01

- reply

I love XMPP but the lack of a standard fully featured client available for all major platforms is the reason it can be a little challenging to onboard normies, so I end up recommending Matrix instead in only 2 short & simple steps that works regardless of their OS:
1. Install app:
https://element.io/download
2. Connect: https://matrix.to/#/@islamicaudiobooks:matrix.org

Wow interesting change of mind! So which server software are you using, Synapse, Conduit or something else? I'm keeping an eueeon Conduit as it seems promising for lightweight setups.

2024-07-26 11:00:16

- reply

Yes agreed it's not ideal just a temporary learning stage before going full sovereign, sort of like transitioning to FOSS while on Windows or Mac before switching to Linux a year later. I guess the trick is not to become complacent in the transitionary stage.

I meant everything that can taint coins due to traceability...
For the second question, I meant how would someone protect themselves from unjust arrest, imprisonment and legal action if they happen to send money to some individual or group a government does not like... the Palestinian resistance being one relevant example as they are labelled as terrorists by certain regimes.
Bitcoin appears to be great unless you spend it on something the government is not okay with. It appears to worse than fiat cash and even worse than bank transfer for such use cases.

Are all bitcoins truly fungible? If they aren't (which seems to be the case nowadays), what are your thoughts about how that may affect its soundness?
Also, hypothetically speaking, what would you rather use to support the Resistance if they're eligible for #zakaah under the 7th category - Bitcoin, fiat cash or Monero?

#Telegram indeed is horrible for #privacy as a messenger. However, much of it's popularity could be due to it's other use: as an easy to manage, mobile-friendly public forum with free hosting or a social media channel.
Organisations that are on government blacklists and are unjustly banned from #BigTech social media have a thriving presence on Telegram as long as the app is the website version, not from Google or Apple stores.
So unless Telegram starts banning them from their non-appstore versions, people will most probably not look for better alternatives...
However, they might consider switching if alternative apps are able to do what Telegram does but even better.
Not endorsing any of this of course, just observations.

Great skill brother - we do anticipate needing an editor in the future.
Many people including us are big on #FOSS here - free and #opensource software that respects our freedom and privacy. In addition to avoiding contributing to #Adobe, #Apple and other corporations who don't necessarily have our interests in mind, FOSS allows us to easily modify the source files ourselves later, even after a decade.
If you can become proficient in freedom software like #Shotcut (Premiere alternative), #Natron (After Effects alternative), #Blender, #Gimp, etc., we would definitely consider hiring someone with such a skill set for our next book, The Fundamentals of #Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism), when it's ready inshaaAllaah
