I continue talking because I feel confortable.
Hidden services: Thanks for the link. I'm not going to set a service
that (1) is not going to be used / nobody is requesting it (I proposed
myself and I doubt you would use it given your strong objections to
matrix/riot system) (2) there is no implication between the potential
users of this service.
I don't see matrix/riot as the new app to rule them all you can still
use IRC, alternative matrix client, etc.
I don't have smartphone, but I see that people that use smartphone
need a solution that adapts to this kind of device to be "more active"
with the community.
Of course I'm not facebook user: same reasons => the lack of privacy:
needs to put a real name, "real person"; and I think that's not needed
to cooperate/collaborate.
The reason #libremesh-dev IRC channel is being used in order to do a
bridge with IRC we could not make it in #libremesh because nobody
registered it. I registered #libremesh-dev, hence we have bridge with
matrix and this superpowers are available for anyone that wants to
admin/moderate it.
As I said in a previous message matrix/riot is more used than IRC...
but surprisingly #libremesh-dev channel is not used to discuss
development. The conversations are usually between users and some of
the developers => Q&A, user support
Development conversations are probably going through another stuff
that I don't know.
About "metadata leaking" in the other mail. What I can say is that IRC
90% use shows your current used IP to all users (you can torify this
connection but I don't how to do it and/or nobody that uses that). I
see an important need to have a log of the channel to encourage people
to enter again, see what's going on, because lots of users of IRC
users connect and disconnect a lot (and changing this actitude/habit
could be hard, it's not my case, I have an irssi client running in a
server). To have this public log: again, too much sensitive
information. The problem is that I see really important to have a
public/transparent place to do conversations and this inherently leaks
metadata. Fortunally the services we are using allows you to use fake
identities. Anything else can go dark.
About wiki, this is my favourite example this
https://github.com/guifi-exo/wiki/tree/master/howto
I like to download all wiki content to go offline. Hence, I don't like
mediawiki for small wikis and I prefer git. Is there a really
important need to host ourselves that wiki? git? If is git:
github.com? gitlab.com? The VM where matrix.guifi.net is only for
realtime communication, there is also a buggy meet.guifi.net
