So people can't bookmark websites anymore? They need a stupid APP? What are they doing on the internet exactly?
I'd rather have nothing to do with weirdos who require an "app" to communicate, and I say that having been using voice chat online since Iparty. (1997)
Iparty. Battlecom. Roger Wilco. Ventrilo. Teamspeak. Skype. Mumble. Discord etc
Until recently, you could host your own server on most of these. I want to go back to that. I'm sick of relying on other people for things to be up. Jitsi Meet is great.
I don't think many people troll in voice, either, so then it doesn't make sense to say that. But this is getting quite meta. Point was that your claimed opinion is so far out there compared to typical life that I don't know if you're serious about not installing any apps for legitimate and useful purposes ever.
no sim signup? What in the fuck is that? Don't you see the way the internet is going lately?
Do you need to give a phone number or even email address to get on IRC? No. What about Ventrilo, Mumble, or Teamspeak? No. What about Skype? Yeah. Email.
Email is about as far as I go. If they want more than that (phone number etc) they can fuck off. How is that out of the ordinary? Because I'm not a cell phone newbie to the internet? I've been here for a long time and the personal information demands from all these piece of shit "services" are egregious when we have open source and self-hostable options that STILL WORK.
