Welkom op c/theNetherlands! Voor het delen van alles gerelateerd aan Nederland: nieuws, sport, humor, cultuur en vragen.

Als je een nieuwsbericht post, is het een goed idee er in een eerste comment je eigen mening over te geven. Dan geef je anderen alvast iets om op te reageren.

Hier gelden verder uiteraard de regels van onze instance:


Welcome to c/theNetherlands! For sharing anything related to the Netherlands: news, sports, humour, culture and questions.

If you’re posting a news story, it’s a good idea to give your own opinion in a first comment. Thereby you give others something to respond to. Note that the story has to be directly related to the Netherlands.

For the rest, the rules of our instance of course apply here:

WhatsApp is razend populair. De app is wel van Facebook, niet iedereen vindt dat een prettig idee. Berichten-app Signal is een privacyvriendelijk alternatief. We helpen je de app te gebruiken.

I think you're right that we are going in circles now, so let's end it here :) Thanks for the discussion!

And thanks to you as well for the cordial discussion! I'm hopeful that bystanders got an interesting read out of it :-)

As of me, the "worst" I would wish upon you is to adventure into XMPP, via an easy-entry app like quicksy.im (android) or monal-im.org (iOS) and see for yourself that you can get something as secure and featured as Signal, without the captivity and monopolistic abuses.

Oh no worries, I have used XMPP (though admittedly in the far past) and am on Matrix as we speak.

XMPP had a kind of renaissance in the recent years (while Matrix only stagnated, and recently turned open-core, but that's besides the point), maybe time to give it a new look? :-)
