It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?
The privacy policy of their app’s captcha solution is horrendous so no thank you
Doesn’t seem that bad, when you go to log in it checks your IP, length of time on the site and mouse movements.
The Revolt’s policy is not that bad. Look at the hCaptcha’s one
That’s the part of hCaptchas policy that’s relevant to Revolt.
Did you miss these parts or are they inapplicable?
I based my assumptions on the parts in Revolts privacy policy, since reading the privacy policy of hCatpcha it alludes that each ‘vendor’ can select how much data they’d like to collect I assumed that Revolt only allowed them to collect IP, length of time on site and mouse movements. While they do sell information, they claim it to be anonymised and I contacted support to see how they did that for IP addresses.
Which is why I don’t really mind. The information they have of me is at most how my cursor moved, how long I took to Submit a login request, Submit a registration request, Submit a password reset / email resend request and an obfuscated IP. Seems OK to me.
Tbh I forgot about the part about vendors limiting the data. I was focused on other ones. And I think Revolt itself is pretty trustworthy so they should limit it (hopefully). I guess I’ll try it. I really want to be a part of good open-source projects
I get it, though I try to remind myself that perfection is the enemy of good. Especially in comparison to Discord which makes its money through [???] and is somehow only getting worse.
Discord is a commercial proprietary product with questionable owners. Of course it’s getting worse all the time
