No it was something else. IIRC, Bitchat is more useful for public communication. It seems similar to Meshtastic; they support both public and private messaging

I saw someone mention that Bitchat would be a better fit for their situation than Briar. I’m not really familiar enough with either to know for sure, but I suppose it couldn’t hurt to install both

Yep. When I visit Lemmy, it tends to feel like a dark place. I don’t think news and politics should be dialed down to zero, but the overall negativity here is a bit heavy, and likely a deal-breaker for many exploring Lemmy for the first time.

For comparison to another decentralized social media platform: Nostr generally seems like a pretty positive place. The people tend to be friendly, and it’s quite common to see them saying “good morning” to each other for seemingly no reason (aside from having a nice morning, I suppose). Conversations generally seem civil and mature. Unfortunately, there’s LOT of Bitcoin stuff to wade through over there.

I’ve been pretty happy with Peergos

Less corporate, less centralized, open source tech. I don’t quite fit in here, but I guess I’m weird enough to stick around anyway 🙂
