Selection of Platforms[edit]
Account Creation[edit]
An account will most likely be created, when...
Criteria:
- The platform must be somewhat popular or show potential to become somewhat popular. [1]
- Easy sign-up.
- Legal.
Non-Criteria:
- Networks respects privacy of its users.
- Tor users are permitted to sign-up.
- Anonymous sign-up permitted.
- Other ethical or political considerations.
- In an ideal world, "perfectly moral" decisions would be made but that is deemed impractical. For elaboration, see unsubstantiated conclusions. [2]
Reasons for account creation:
- Reserving account name.
- Censorship resistance.
- Escaping (potential) shadow banning.
- Decentralization, diversity.
- Allowing users to choose their favorite network.
Non-Reasons for account creation:
- Endorsing that network.
Criteria for which Social Networks accounts are most actively used[edit]
Amended October 24, 2020
.
- Usability. The easier it is to (auto) post to these networks, i.e. post 1 time using an (external or third party such as IFTT) tool and then spread to multiple networks, the more likely this network is going to see more posting activity.
- Depends on contributor time and availability to mirror posts to these networks.
[edit]
Amended October 24, 2020
.
Criteria for (wiki) footer inclusion:
- platforms self-hosted by Kicksecure ™ (discourse forums, newsletter, rss)
- third party platforms:
- popular, generally active or followed by our user community regardless of whether based on Freedom Software or non-freedom software
- promising platforms that have the potential to grow or are in an expansion phase
- experimentation
- technical merit (decentralized and/or censorship-resistant)
End-to-End Encrypted Public Chat[edit]
Unavailable.
- blocker: Kicksecure ™ matrix chat is bridged to Kicksecure ™ telegram chat. Meaning, any messages on matrix and telegram gets relays. (As long as the free relay bot service is functional.) Matrix channel encryption is incompatible with relaying to Telegram.
- Other reasons:
- It's a public chat anyhow. Anyone can join telegram and view that chat history.
- No clear threat model.
- Lower maintenance effort.
