Thanks to Sailfish X, and to the Youyota tablet, it looks like some of us will soon get our hands on a SailfishOS + Dalvik device for the first time. This has started me thinking about what social media platforms would make a good match. I am thinking particularly of platforms that:

  • Work smoothly with SFOS (maybe with a native SFOS app?)
  • Fit in with the philosophy of not profiling/monetizing users, and respecting their privacy

Would some existing SFOS users be prepared to share their experiences and thoughts? I have looked in a superficial way at Wire and JoinDiaspora, and I would be very interested in hearing about how people have got on with them and also other similar platforms on their SFOS devices.

Personally, I am not interested in Facebook or Google stuff: my objections to them are what have kept me interested in SFOS for all this time.

Tooter is a native client for mastodon, open source/distributed twitter-like platform

i also found rambox as multimessanger quote interesting to watch. although i dont know if this works on a mobile platform. wire is supported, but for that - as it sounds quite nice - the question of.long term financing is still open. currently costs are covered by investors as far as i know...

@juiceme: xmpp is just the protocol, isn't it? I don't intend to do any development. What xmpp client(s) and services work well for you on SFOS? Jabber perhaps, or something else?

The 4-Chan app Neliapila is a the best chan reader I have ever experienced. Have to open a browser to interact though

There are many alternatives for Whats App, but none of them works fine on Sailfish OS.

If you and I don't use WhatsApp, then how can WhatsApp block you and me?

So let's fight for a good working alternative on Sailfish OS... Sailfish has the power and the knowledge…

So "Sailfish make contact with one of the many partners in Socials Apps , make it work (Just one is enough) , and remember there are enough users wiling to pay a (small *) amount for respecting their privacy

kind regards, Ad

'Small' times 'Many' must be enough …
