@arcanechat @Gina I still don't know what the realistic alternative is for electronic communications. it sucks... but without worldwide regulations, it's just always going to find ways to suck for people outside the inner circle of beneficiaries
and I very much want to pay a company that can avoid that, but... they are competing with companies with near monopolies, so how _can_ they compete? (and even the regulations would have to be like, morally guided and principled, but they wouldn't be...)
@caitp to be honest, I don't think there is a solution for streaming of video to huge groups of people (ex. twitch-like)
but if it is just a meeting with a few people maybe some p2p calls like using webrtc could work, it would be all end-to-end encrypted and without needing to trust any company and also near zero server costs for them

@regendans @JakeKb @Gina
Signal works for those who have a cell phone only I believe.I use @hostpoint and KMeet from Infomaniak for individual video calls (ex. My Mom).

@Gina
No bueno.
This stinks. -
@Gina Irrelevant question, but is there an actual private video-call platform and if yes which is it?

_Miguel Yes, their CEO's behaviour has been a significant red flag, and I think we're going to continue finding out that they've been lying for years as they've moved to comply in advance on this wave of anti-privacy bills being tossed around the world.
