It really depends on the situation. Hardware support is definitely better than it used to be and everything in linux is hackable regardless of distribution if needed, but the reason I haven’t switched my main tower from Arch to Debian is that fear of requiring extra work for things like gaming and music production. If you’re running the newest and latest hardware you might run into an issue depending on the kernel version being used, etc.,

That being said, I use Debian every day on my thinkpad and love it. I have an interest in migrating away from Ubuntu Server and toward Debian for servers as well. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it “not recommended”, just similar caution expressed.

I believe that was you that was auto-rejected again. Pushed one more fix to the relay image and relaunched. if you’d be so kind to try once more, but if I see the error again I’m going to open an issue on the repo.

Hey I know this is a late reply but I was going over logs and I don’t think Friendica is supported. Your instance is the only one of the three erroring out so far. Do you know if you’ve been able to successfully add relays that support Friendica, and if so could you point them out to me so I can see what they are running?

edit I made some changes to the code in the relay. Can you try to delete and re-add the relay to your Friendica instance and I’ll check the logs after to confirm?

I use WhatsApp cautiously with friends who still refuse to jump over to Signal (let alone Matrix or Session). But it’s def mind blowing to read an activist group was relying on it for organizing. Reminds me of FB being used for organizing G20 and BLM demos -_-

That’s cool to know this works with friendica! How do you find running an instance? I’ve noticed friendica.world has been having issues lately

Signal is probably your best bet but it’s only mostly open source. Element/Matrix is another good option if open source is your concern.
