    I agree that having some sort of ban appeal system would be good, at least once, so that users that didn’t correctly understand the instance or were acting in good faith can learn, but it’s not currently easy and it would give a lot of work to admins/mods, so it is what it is.

    Also, the reason ada started even looking at the reports is that the 196 mod team was from LW and there was a federation issue that made reports pile up days. They were asked to create a blaj account to properly manage them but only entered it once a day or so, so there was a big backlog.

    If they managed their reports swiftly and would not even have intervined. Bad team all around.





  • You don’t understand. This is not for you, the signal user, to speak with WhatsApp users. This is for you to convince them to swap to signal and keep talking to other WhatsApp users. The more people change, the less information will go through meta. Lowering the barrier to swap apps is great.

    To send messages, the third-party providers have to construct message protobuf structures which are then encrypted using the Signal Protocol and then packaged into message stanzas in eXtensible Markup Language (XML).

    Meta servers push messages to connected clients over a persistent connection. Third-party servers are responsible for hosting any media files their client applications send to Meta clients (such as image or video files). After receiving a media message, Meta clients will subsequently download the encrypted media from the third-party messaging servers using a Meta proxy service.

    This is only for messages sent to WhatsApp, right now you are force to use their app to chat with WhatsApp users, which is worse than the proposal.



  • This is not federation, this is signal being able to send message to a WhatsApp server and WhatsApp being able to interpret it to send it to a WhatsApp user. WhatsApp wouldn’t know more than what it already knows when you inevitably need to use the app to reply to your grandma or whatever.

    A big plus however is that you can convince friends and family to switch since they would be able to keep chatting with their family and friends, so the entry barrier lowers by a ton.

    This is not federation and it is great.

    The bigger issue was that since the mods were from world, reports were federated late and acculated. Mods were asked to create blaj accounts to actually moderate the site, but they used them like once a day and reports still accumulated. This is why the admin/ada started checking the reports, because no one was doing it.

    So moss didn’t want Ada to moderate 196 but they weren’t doing it either, what the fuck?
