agx was already taken on fosstodon so with a #ruhri background I'll move my #fediverse presence to https://ruhr.social/deck/@agx . Hope to see you there.
I'll set up the account move as well in a couple of days but as that has a 30d cooling off period let's see if things work out over there.
🙏 for the service #libremone !
Has anyone else had difficulty with #AccountMigration from @purism's #LibremOne to #SocialCoop (@SocialCoop)? When I try to create an #AccountAlias it says my old account handle could not be found. Anyone able to advise please? Many thanks
Wow! I just realized that #LibremOne is actually running a fork of Mastodon called "Smilodon".
I think what's a bit more surprising is that, if you go to its GitLab page, you'll see that there hasn't been a single commit since about 2 years ago.
@purism How does #libremOne grow since the recent boom of #Mastodon? Can you share any stats?
EDIT: Already done, but thanks for the boost :D
Can someone with connections to @purism@librem.one help me get my old librem one Mastodon account deleted? There's no option to delete your account in that mastodon fork.
Much thanks

#PleaseBoost, thanks. 😅
I have to say that I am a little disappointed with #LibremOne. It was once supposed to be a unified ecosystem of privacy-oriented services but now I feel it has fallen into obscurity and a general lack of maintenance.
Although it has been my gateway into the #Fediverse and #Matrix, I think it's now time for me to move on. I really hope @purism would be able to sort out the issues with this service because I honestly think it's a brilliant idea.
@purism@social.librem.one - Product Idea
Bundle your hardware with a set of #FIDO2/#U2F compatible keys, and preconfigure the OS to encrypt the machine on first boot with the keys.
During the setup process, use it as a tutorial on how to use the keys for setting up #LibremOne services, teaching new users how the keys work, and why #privacy and #encryption is so important.
@edgren I'm sure the likes of the #pinephone and #pinephonepro or the #libremone are further along feature wise, my #oneplus6 is unofficial support hacked together by the community

Apparently Purism enjoys trying out new stuff. Not that I mind, but we've been monitoring their "librem.one" services for a few months now. It seems that the software behind this SaaS offer is rather unmaintained.
Their Mastodon fork hasn't seen a commit in almost(?) a year, and their synapse server is stuck on 1.23.1, which has at least 4 known CVEs.
At least their VPN seems to get some updates from time to time.

I'm going to say something controversial but is what I truly believe, I sure hope the social media platform doesn't sensor me for it!!! Oh wait, they won't. Man I love open platforms like Mastodon!!! Freedom of speech is vital to freedom period. ❤️🇺🇲

Don’t quit Facebook. Change laws.
What to do if you think Facebook worsens misinformation and hate speech.
Facebook Has Been a Disaster for the World. How much longer are we going to allow its platform to foment hatred and undermine democracy?
