Feel free to hit me up on matrix.
Yes and no.
let’s say I have a website that hosts user generated content like a forum or something. Some other person just hosts a mirror of my website that is not under my control. If some user requests me to delete his data, I can do that. i cannot delete the data from the mirror site.
Nothing else is happening in the fediverse. The only difference is, that in the fediverse the license and technology is set up to encourage mirroring content.
free software doesn’t necessarily mean federating with other services.
They have stated their reasons why they don’t wanna do it. You might disagree with them or not. But the technology they built is still open. Anybody could take what they created and use it as a foundation that does federate.
Was ist daran ghetto? Da stehen Bäume vor der Tür, die Türen sind frisch gestrichen. Alles ist sauber. Alles sieht intakt aus. Das ist halt bestimmt keine Fabrik sondern eine ehemalige Fabrik wo irgendwelche Yuppies eine Kunsthalle reingebaut haben, wo die sich jetzt mit ihrem anstrengenden Freunden Janosch und Agnes zum Craftbeer-Trinken bei Singer-Songwriter Musik zu treffen.
You just measure the time until the delivery recipe arrives. You can approximate how far away the recipient is. Now you keep doing that while changing your own location (use vpns etc.) and you can slowly get a more accurate location of the target. Now you automate that stuff and also utilize machine learning to interpret the data.
Would highly suggest you to stay away from Matrix and Element for now when it comes to using it with non techies. It‘s simply not there yet. It‘s slow, tedious to use, buggy and the ux is just bad. It‘s also not necessarily more private than the popular choices if used improperly which is imo very likely it you have your aunt use it lol.
Is there any feature of element that you need or why did you pick it? You could ideally just use Signal for group chat and group (video-) calls. Or even whatsapp.
