The maturity of decentralized communication cannot come soon enough

[–] JeeBaiChow 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If only there was a standards-based platform that everyone could use, supported by all telecommunications providers. Ah dammit. Probably just a pipe dream. /s

XMPP should return to reclaim its rightful role.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Back in my day, the only decentralized communication we needed was yelling from the rooftops and we turned out just fine!

You should try snikket. It can run on a 1$/month VPS and gives you and friends/family a really easy to run xmpp server. Easy for not so technical people.

Hell no lol, I'd use an actual modern service like Element.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I find it harder to use. My account has several spammer chats that I can't close for some reason etc...

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can just go into your account settings and deactivate

Deactivate the account, and there's a checkmark to delete all past messages

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't want to deactivate my account

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Uh alright, you asked how to lol.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

No I meant that there were conversations that spammers started, that I can't delete for some reason. So I want my account to stay, but delete those garbage convos
