There is !localllama@sh.itjust.works
Of course, it is not as busy as the subreddit.

2·10 months agosticking to html is a better idea
I agree because I don’t really see the point. If someone wants to publish a page with content as simple as text/gemini, it is possible with HTTP and HTML too and it is available to much larger audience. If someone wants a reduced client, then NoScript or some minimalistic browser (Dillo or others) prevents the tracking and popups as well.
Technically, the identity management in Gemini is somewhat interesting, but it is certainly not a killer feature.
Effectively, I believe it mostly appeals to a minimalism aesthetic similar to suckless or STEPS. I like that but I don’t see it changing the world.
I use Lutris for games from GOG on Linux and it works ok. Welcome to the club!

2·10 months agoI looked into this again. I misremembered: iOS Mail does not “mark” deleted mails but is supposed to move deleted Mails on IMAP into a Trash folder (or Archive). That does not happen in my case and I have no clue why. The mail disappears in the app but is unchanged on the server.

2·10 months agoI like having a native Desktop client and Thunderbird is a reasonably good one.

2·10 months agoI do use both because I want to read my email on my phone and on my desktop.
If I delete a Mail on iOS, it is not deleted in Thunderbird though. The iOS client only marks it as deleted instead of actually removing the data and Thunderbird does not understand the mark.

3·10 months agoI did not consider Tuta at the time. It either was not around yet or too new.
I compared Posteo and Mailbox. Since Mailbox gives me the option to use my own domain, I picked that one. (I don’t have my own domain 🤡)
Mailbox provides normal IMAP access. I use Thunderbird and the iOS Mail app as clients. (Annoying: iOS Mail does not delete mails in a way that is recognized by Thunderbird)

115·10 months agoAnd “Mastodon” is not a good name. The term “Fediverse” is better but inevitably leads to confusion about decentralization.
I believe the Mastodon instance should strengthen their individual branding instead. Don’t advertise “Mastodon” but advertise “feddit.org” instead.

To be honest, I don’t see any causal relation there. I’m pro Open Source and pro EU sovereignty, but I don’t see that Open Source (hardware or software) is necessary for sovereignty. Probably helpful and probably aligned with some EU values but not necessary.
