if you’re using the official web interface, it should work fine. Third-party apps are a different story

I’m surprised, because other fediverse platforms already support adding Alt Text and Lemmy doesn’t seem to. (At least not in the UI?)

with embeds, e.g ![](example.com) you can put Alt-Text directly into the [] like: ![alt](example.com) and it should be recognized

So they only ended up implementing encryption-related parts of the protocol+server combo, like e.g Double-Ratchet or X3DH?

Privacy ≠ secrecy.

I like to quote this from privacyguides.org: "Much like the right to interracial marriage, woman’s suffrage, freedom of speech, and many others, our right to privacy hasn’t always been upheld. In several dictatorships, it still isn’t. Generations before ours fought for our right to privacy. Privacy is a human right, inherent to all of us, that we are entitled to (without discrimination).

You shouldn’t confuse privacy with secrecy. We know what happens in the bathroom, but you still close the door. That’s because you want privacy, not secrecy. Everyone has something to protect. Privacy is something that makes us human."

In that case whatever you’re using isn’t SMS.

SMS has never supported group chats, and as such you should double-check what you’re actually using to text with one another.

I find End-To-End-Encryption especially important, as it protects the things you say between you and others, so I advise you to double-check that

As a matter of fact, WhatsApp has been using the signal protocol since 2016.

well texting people is honestly worse, there is no encryption at all and features are stuck in the stone-ages

For exorbitant fees.

That messaging is one of two things:

1. Outdated (SMS)
2. A walled garden (iMessage)

You either have SMS, which hasn’t benefitted from any of the advancements of the last decade, or you have iMessage which forces you and friends to spend WAY more money than needed because you essentially NEED an iPhone to use it with your phone number.

Please, use Signal

My Bad, must’ve misremembered.

And even then I still have a worse experience than with yt-dlp and piped

You’d hope they could come up with something better

It’s just sad.

Maybe we wouldn’t be so mad if their paid offerings weren’t worse than using an adblock or third-party download tools.

For context, if you download a video you have to have been online on YouTube in a timespan of 3 days with YouTube Premium to actually watch it offline.

Bandwidth is easily dealt with for PeerTube as it’s peer-to-peer.

That’s because the desktop client is basically brand new and in early development. (A GUI one, that is)

I will gladly continue to use Piped and not have to worry about watch history
