- pmlnr 6y agoThere is a significant difference there though: reddit is still a single, central entity. Matrix, XMPP, email, (and activitypub based systems, ssbc, and anything federated) could be connecting to one's own server. It could be a machine in my basement.
- Erlangen 6y agoI don't see the difference. "Sync for reddit" a custom client for reddit. It was suspended for "hate speech". Then why isn't the official reddit app not suspended?
- pmlnr 6y ago> I don't see the difference. ? 1. I install synapse (a matrix server) on my own machine. I install Element on my own phone. I connect one to another, and via the server to other servers. 2. I install a client that connects to reddit. Same reddit as everyone else. Same reddit as the reddit website. There is a rather significant difference, isn't there? EDIT addressing the 'hate speech' part, you are correct. If one reddit client is banned, all should be banned. But that is not true for communication apps, like Element.
