It is with a heavy heart that
I have to announce I can no longer recommend the fantastic videoconference tool that was Jitsi Meet 😔💔
“Starting on August 24th, we will no longer support the anonymous creation of rooms on meet.jit.si, and will require the use of an account (we will be supporting Google, GitHub and Facebook for starters but may modify the list later on).”
Choosing to demand connections with Google, Facebook, or GitHub while declaring privacy is still a priority is quite ironic, and heartbreakingly disappointing: https://jitsi.org/blog/authentication-on-meet-jit-si/
Off the top of my head, I could probably recommend framatalk.org and calls.disroot.org and remember if you enjoy these services, send a donation their way!
@Em0nM4stodon on the one hand, yeah, bummer. On the other, if you found out your hosted product was being used and recommended for criminal activity, child exploitation, etc., how would you handle it?
Encouraging self-hosting or at least many hosts (like with the Fediverse) reduces single points of failure, anyway.
