@imacrea @Gina @protonprivacy #Jitsi is actually fairly straightforward to install and operate. Itβs definitely worth considering instead of Proton Meet or one of the βbig techβ products.

@Gina Irrelevant question, but is there an actual private video-call platform and if yes which is it?

@Gina Of course they did. Because Proton is owned by a fan of fascism.

@Gina @JakeKb Seriously, Signal. I switched from Jitsi to Signal for meetings on the project I'm working on now, because of minor technical issues, and it's worked better anyway.
Now, Signal might not meet your needs for this if participants don't want to disclose their Signal usernames/phone-numbers, since Signal doesn't really do "multiple accounts" like they should. But if it does work, it's great, and actually private.

@privateger @Gina Proton products have always been snake oil. I think people *want* to believe theyβre the good guys, for lack of easy alternatives.

@Gina I can't believe in 2026 people still trust Proton, can't people realize by now it is really a bad idea to put your trust in a centralized provider?

@arcanechat @imacrea @Gina Sadly the fedi has no shortage of people who keep stanning for discredited "private email" and "private messenger" scammers.

@arcanechat @Gina I still don't know what the realistic alternative is for electronic communications. it sucks... but without worldwide regulations, it's just always going to find ways to suck for people outside the inner circle of beneficiaries
and I very much want to pay a company that can avoid that, but... they are competing with companies with near monopolies, so how _can_ they compete? (and even the regulations would have to be like, morally guided and principled, but they wouldn't be...)
