What is WireMin for?
WireMin is similar to Twitter, but its decentralized structure ensures that there is no censorship and no risk of user data being stolen. Just Google it for more info.
It says it’s all about free speech. Not a nesting ground for right wing extremists I hope?
I already have mastodon but always happy to explore new to me options.
Being decentralized doesn’t make you immune to censorship.
It is immune to censorship because creating an WireMin account does not require any personal information. Plus, its decentralized nature means that there is no central server and users cannot be banned or censored.
They don’t need personal information. If the owner of a server doesn’t like what you post , they can ban the account. They run the whole machine so if they really wanted to they could block your IP from even connecting in the first place!
Decentralization doesn’t mean you’re free to post whatever you want. It’s still someone else’s computer, and they make the rules. Federation doesn’t change that. Sure it’s harder to suppress information, but a few admins could easily coordinate against you if they so wanted.
I created a chat space on WireMin and tried, but I can’t really ban a sender or remove any content.
“They run the whole machine so if they really wanted to they could block your IP from even connecting in the first place!” so I assume the owner of this platform is a guard, lmao.
I played with it a bit and, as you described, it does not require personal information to create an account. I saw people saying it is a combination of Mastodon & Session because they have a Discovery section to explore all servers and spaces.
For a simple Twitter clone it has way to much hype. It tastes a lot like Google+ (RIP)
Well, let’s be real: it’s caught on way better than Google+ and is already pretty mainstream with lots of people flocking over in need for a Twitter replacement. Google+ entered into a space that was saturated by Facebook with very little extra value (or none at all) when switching.
Google+ also infected other Google products and basically forced itself onto folks who didn’t even want it, making it tainted from the start. It’s not like Threads is being forced onto WhatsApp users or anything. The only thing that’s possibly going to be an issue is once they start adding advertising, but I doubt that’ll matter much.
The most and perhaps only important thing is it is not helmed by Elon Musk. I’ll keep using it as long as that’s the case.
This is the biggest value proposition for it at the moment
Yeah but if google+ happened now it’s so better.
Twitter is on its knees and the Google userbase is more cohesive than ever.
Pretty funny that the Windows ME one has the windows logo in the bin. They knew from the start it was a flop
My first thought looking at this meme was that Windows uses the “recycling bin” OS X uses the trash. My brain picking problems with jokes online… oh how far I have fallen
2006 Windows XP had the best icons.
I miss the awesome Windows 95 Plus! High color version. It was way prettier than the Windows 98 high color version that is on the pic.
Classic, my man 🤝
This illustration is missing Twitter as well, it is not a phase, I’d say it is a ramification together with Threads.
Can’t agree no more
Pretty impressive they got so many people to sign up with a logo that looks like a kid scrawled it when he was bored in class
Cuz those people doesn’t care about their privacy right, and most of them were using instagram, and love about sharing their life in pics to the word, try to get attention from people
Why did they decide to rotate the trash can, and then canceled that decision?
Because the finally realized that left facing trash is superior trash
Hmmmm… Weapons grade thrash
To Twitter
Damn, that 2000 excuse for a garbage can was just as bad as Windows 2000! 😬
What you got against Windows 2000?
Was incredibly stable and quick when compared to 95 and 98
