Different philosophy.

Ntfy uses pub-sub like MQTT. It publishes messages and anyone (with access) can subscribe to it. Want to connect 250 clients across 50 people to have the same messages delivered? Easy.

Gotify uses end to end messaging. A user creates an application on their chosen client. Gotify uses a REST api send the notification pulled from the chosen app to the user who made it. Want to do the same as above? You have to set it up 250 times. Gotify was the first to have authentication and some people say it is more robust, but I can’t speak on that. Also gotify is easier to set up and makes sense for a single user.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but that is the biggest architectural difference.

I saw it just yesterday.

And a week ago.

And a month ago.

And I had it myself 2 months ago, fixed by going to the online element client that just happened to still be “verified” after a while of no use and then I could verify the rest of my clients. I would be SoL if I didn’t have one of my original sessions upon making the account years ago still. Interesting system.

That was in the 1 encrypted chat I am a part of.

99% of rooms aren’t encrypted so are completely and totally insecure anyway. Which I guess is fine for community discussion spaces.

I like fluffychat but it doesn’t have threading. Element is also fine and what I have to use on desktop because neochat fucks up so much, but I can’t use it on my phone because it causes an extra 1%/hour drain on my phone battery in the background which is insane. Uninstalled it a year or two ago.

Holy shit, I never found smoothness in the OSM editor. Does that actually effect routing priority?

That might be a game changer for making my local area much better on OSM.

Discovery? Interesting thought.

I tried out pixelfed and the pixelix app for the past couple weeks.

The “discovery” page on the official app is worse than useless. It shows almost nobody with over 10 followers, highlighting one person with 50-100 followers, then shows “popular on the fediverse” which are thumbnails of posts of the people it just recommended. It always recommends at least 5 of the same people day after day, week after week, even people you already follow.

The official app can’t even show a global feed so it is literally impossible to discover new people unless you know their name and specifically search for them, or they are recommended by luck on the discover page (of which there are multiple repeats per day, so not likely)

Pixelix at least allows you to view a global feed though. Definitely a better experience, but Lemmy discovery is not any worse than that.

Yes but swiss people can still be absolutely piece of shit human beings. They proved that in WWII by helping fund the Nazis directly. Swiss people also aren’t immune from rampant US party propaganda. You aren’t magical, psychologically different humans than the rest of the world.

Publicly supporting an openly fascist dictator, whatever “political party” they are on, someone who directly opposes the stated mission and values of the company, means that they are piece of shit humans who cannot be trusted with our data because they will just lie with what they do with it just like how they lied to us about their company values.

Except when it is frustrating and continually tries to send you through tiny “technically paved” service roads so you know anyone unfamiliar to the area would risk car damage because there is no way to mark a road as “low priority” or “only use if you live on that road”.

Street complete is very awesome though! Especially for updating local businesses.
