@arzachel Oh this advanced view has all kinds of duplicate data, ouch.
Groups or echomail equivalent is essential feature I am not seeing.
@mahakal Something called "Lists" may actually be "Groups" but haven't investigated further
@mahakal https://fediverse.party
Was thinking of setting up friendica.derveni.org next, possibly
@arzachel Friendica was the thing I was trying to use in the earlier days before I gave up on them.
@arzachel Every time I try to take a full overview, I come back to waiting on Holochain.
@arzachel Active development happening, it's not stalled.

@mahakal I'll hold my breath
@arzachel It's both super annoying and correct, they keep refactoring things and taking no short cuts.
@arzachel It's especially important when designing a new protocol to get things right before people adopt it, or we live with those defects forever.
@mahakal Or until we export the database, which we fully own, into something else. I dunno, this solves lots & lots of problems for me.
@arzachel Holochain is all about having your own data, and countersigning transactions.
@mahakal You know, I'll be right in line to sign up as soon as they open. Until then, I'll keep doing me.
@mahakal Also, I don't especially trust any blockchains. They've probably all been crackable to quantum computers which have been around for decades which we haven't heard about.
@arzachel I agree. Holochain is not a blockchain.
@mahakal Well that's a relief. Like I say, amongst the first in line.
@arzachel The thing about having control of your data is that it isn't hard to do that if you don't care whether anyone else can see or use it. LOL
@arzachel I'm probably just going to go back to FB for now and if you need help or testing with anything, let me know, I don't want to discourage you at all. FB does suck pretty hard. For me it's about being able to have the conversations with people, and I hope you'll be there as well as here.
@mahakal Given the feelings you've expressed thus far, likely for the best. Feel free to drop in anytime!
@mahakal Did you try the "advanced view" yet? It's busy!
