= Selection of Platforms =
== Account Creation ==
An account will most likely be created, when...
Criteria:
* The platform must be somewhat popular or show potential to become somewhat popular. [
This is a somewhat arbitrary determination and not too much time is spent on research.
]
* Easy sign-up.
* Legal.
Non-Criteria:
* Networks respects privacy of its users.
* Tor users are permitted to sign-up.
* Anonymous sign-up permitted.
* Other ethical or political considerations.
* In an ideal world, "perfectly moral" decisions would be made but that is deemed impractical. For elaboration, see [[Warning#Unsubstantiated_Conclusions|unsubstantiated conclusions]]. [
In that case most major networks could not be used because most fail in one regard or another. Therefore no such attempt is being made.
]
Reasons for account creation:
* Reserving account name.
* Censorship resistance.
* Escaping (potential) shadow banning.
* Decentralization, diversity.
* Allowing users to choose their favorite network.
Non-Reasons for account creation:
* Endorsing that network.
== Criteria for which Social Networks accounts are most actively used ==
Amended October 24, 2020
.
* Usability. The easier it is to (auto) post to these networks, i.e. post 1 time using an (external or third party such as IFTT) tool and then spread to multiple networks, the more likely this network is going to see more posting activity.
* Depends on contributor time and availability to mirror posts to these networks.
== Criteria for Footer Inclusion ==
Amended October 24, 2020
.
Criteria for (wiki) [[Template:footer|footer]] inclusion:
* platforms self-hosted by {{project_name_short}} (discourse forums, newsletter, rss)
* third party platforms:
** popular, generally active or followed by our user community regardless of whether based on Freedom Software or non-freedom software
** promising platforms that have the potential to grow or are in an expansion phase
* experimentation
* technical merit (decentralized and/or censorship-resistant)
= End-to-End Encrypted Public Chat =
Unavailable.
* blocker: {{project_name_short}} matrix chat is bridged to {{project_name_short}} telegram chat. Meaning, any messages on matrix and telegram gets relays. (As long as the free relay bot service is functional.) Matrix channel encryption is incompatible with relaying to Telegram.
* Other reasons:
** It's a public chat anyhow. Anyone can join telegram and view that chat history.
** No clear threat model.
** Lower maintenance effort.
