Ah thanks, I overlooked that. I'd still like to hear though what the actual UX is like nowadays.

Have fun!

Have you tried Whisperfish, the unofficial Signal client? I'm curious how good it is nowadays. Back when I tried it, I believe voice and video calls either weren't implemented or broken.

Please report on what the 2025 Sailfish experience is like.

They should quit their BS marketing then. I fully understand not wanting to buy stuff from the US, a fascist shithole. But buying stuff from China, a (at least currently) much worse fascist shithole (not sure how much worse the US will get) is not a solution. What we need are European/Canadian alternatives. Isn't that (at least the former subject) the whole point of this community?

Why not make it a bit more aggressive? Put crossed-out Russian, Chinese and US flags there, and write "No parts from fascist shitholes used" next to them

The Spitz AX has a more powerful MediaTek dual core CPU running @ 1.3GHz. It also supports 5G, and has 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. As far as I can see, the Puli uses the same CPU, but it also includes a battery.

I recommend getting a dedicated cellular router like the GL.iNet Mudi (but you're gonna need a USB Hub if you want to use Ethernet), Spitz (4G) or Puli (5G). The latter two have integrated Ethernet ports. Both are also available with built-in batteries.

This service is still in Alpha release but is already deployable and usable, and federates with other Fediverse servers.

However, there is no "main" instance you go to join. The intention really is that you host your own instance for yourself and a few friends and family. To this end, it is designed to be very lightweight and will happily run on a Raspberry Pi or even a $5/pm VPS.

This is taking a very different approach from say Mastodon which has one main instance everyone could join, but then it sits with the issue that everyone joins there, and it becomes a bit "centralised". GoToSocial has been designed as lightweight for self-hosting, and also has a Docker image installation, so it makes it really easy for (and encourages) most people to host their own instance.

It seems to also be focussed very much around privacy (defaults to unlisted posts) and permission controls (for example, you have an option to post to mutual-only where both people follow each other). Also, by hosting your own service you set the rules, and you are also your own admin. You can choose to turn off likes, replies, boosts, etc as well. Being your own admin also means you can easily adjust the post length as well.

It does conform to the Mastodon API so apparently some Mastodon clients will also work fine with it.
