Föderation EN Mo 26.08.2024 08:18:53 Why the heck does the official #Mattermost client need to connect to half a dozen third-party domains from #Automattic, #Google and #Cloudfront / #Amazon in order to function with my self-hosted chat instance? ðŸ˜

Föderation EN Mo 26.08.2024 08:27:49 @ilumium Perhaps you could file a bug report to get official answers. Off topic: how did you get this list, which program gives a "block this" switch? |

Föderation EN Mo 26.08.2024 08:47:07 @jesterchen Good idea, I might do that if I find time this week. I use #trackercontrol to find and block tracking. https://f-droid.org/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/ |

Föderation EN Mo 26.08.2024 08:28:13 @ilumium unfortunately, firebase is required for working push notifications, even F-Droid (beta) version is not truly FOSS https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.mattermost.rnbeta/ |

Föderation EN Mo 26.08.2024 08:48:48 @pgronkievitz I know, and I wouldn't mind if blocking firebase just broke push. But the client refuses to connect to my own instance if any of the above trackers are blocked. I can't see any technical reason for this tbh. |

Föderation EN Mo 26.08.2024 08:50:08 #Mattermost is free and open-source, but not free. #fdroid: "This app has features you may not like." The project is maintained and developed by Mattermost Inc. which uses spyware services provided by #Google (API) and #Amazon (internet connections and transport). |

Föderation EN Di 27.08.2024 09:14:16 @harryomvlee @ilumium The f-droid.org promise is that all apps in the repo are FLOSS. And our Mattermost makes no exception. You can read the "anti-feature" description which talks about the upstream code, that our contributors take time to clean up. |

Föderation EN Di 27.08.2024 10:26:03 @fdroidorg No worries, I did not mean to question the #Fdroid approach to this. My rant was solely directed at #Mattermost for building such unnecessary anti-feature into their app. |

Föderation EN Mo 26.08.2024 11:13:05 @ilumium perhaps look into Element - from what I've seen online, it seems like a decent replacement, however I haven't used either |
