Reformed Chat in a Sacerdotal World - by @___brig___ and @RazorsKiss
Why not use a real chat network for your community?
Tired of Twitter? https://t.co/9EIL56MFBfrefchat.netJoined August 2019
Microblogging-worthy character limit? Check.
Chronological timelines? Check.
Immune to hostile corporate/govt takeovers? Check.
No quote/RT dogpiling? Check.
Locally administered clusters, connected to a larger, global network? Check.
Why not try the fediverse?
Want a social media experience that doesn't involve a megacorp surveilling you, feeding you ads, and controlling what you see, when, from who?
Join us on the fediverse, where you are in control of your online presence, instead of megacorp employees with axes to grind.
This is why I have steadily and consciously moved further and further away from Google, Facebook and Twitter over the last decade. I've been watching them annihilate shared dialogue and critical thinking for the last decade and a half.

Owen server, the inter-client bridgebot, and the Matrix server are all back up and running as of yesterday evening. The Refchat network is once again a fully armed and operational battlestation.
Just your occasional reminder that most of your online voices are controlled by the whims of corporate policies, on a handful of big tech surveillance platforms like this one.
Alternatives exist, but those alternatives take time and effort. Start those efforts now. Decentralize.
I'm increasingly convinced that *Twitter* is the refuge of scoundrels and fiends; the way it is made and managed encourages that. If you want to use this corporate spy & adware for something other than telling people to get off of corporate spy & adware, that's your call, hoss.

Reminder: we have an active social media instance (utilizing pleroma), as well as a beta instance of funkwhale, and alpha instances of both PeerTube and pixelfed!
Then there's our flagship service - a mature IRC server with Discord and Matrix integration! refchat.net
