Well, sadly it is time to say goodbye to #Jitsi. I understand why they dropped support for anonymous #videochat from the service, but frankly, #privacy was their one unique selling point. Requiring a #Google#Facebook or #Github account now only adds insult to injury.

Versatile and Simple :ablobsmile:
Nothing new to download, Jitsi Meet works with any browsers. You can also use Jitsi’s desktop or mobile app if you prefer!
Why use a platform that is
spying and tracking you and your interlocutors when you can use a free open-source more privacy-respecful alternative! :awesome:🔒
@schratze@julialuna You don't "make your own discord server", you can only try to get your own instance hosted by them, since you can't actually host your own #discord#server yourselves.
If you want something you can #SelfHost, give #Zulip a chance.
