@ThatCrazyDude What's in a name? That which we call a reptile by any other name would be as scaly.

China’s Great Cannon https://citizenlab.ca/2015/04/chinas-great-cannon/
The operational deployment of the Great Cannon represents a significant escalation in state-level information control: the normalization of widespread use of an attack tool to enforce censorship by weaponizing users. Specifically, the Cannon manipulates the traffic of “bystander” systems outside China, silently programming their browsers to create a massive DDoS attack.
@cy Makes me think of the Ariekei (or however you spell it) civilization from Embassytown by China Mieville.
@admitsWrongIfProven It's instant messaging. Like XMPP or Matrix.
It's main selling point is that it's more metadata private because you don't have to make an account.

You send invite links. As direct messages so they can't be intercepted and your connection mitmd
Maybe the reason is that our lives aren't actually better despite our technology and agriculture and they knew that.
Can everyone who had me on XMPP please add me again on SXC now that my server broke? The fact that you can switch receiving servers for a conversation with a single click makes it much more reliable than XMPP, where your provider is basically a single point of failure for all your conversations.
@condret Some people need a reason to regret and apologize. They won't just do it naturally.
Does anyone know a good XMPP provider thats
1. Reliable
2. Not going to ban me for stupid reasons
3. Not associated with trolling or raiding behaviour that gets *them* banned from chatrooms/defederated/etc (I don't know if servers get banned that often on XMPP but I think it was worth asking)
