Google's impact on our climate is so bad they can't even hide from their own numbers:
"Google’s own data makes it clear: the corporation is contributing to the acceleration of climate catastrophe, and the metrics that matter – how many emissions they emit, how much water they use, and how fast these trends are accelerating – are headed in the wrong direction for us and the planet,”
- Nicole Sugerman, Campaign Manager at Kairos Fellowship.

If you're on here and hearing your friends say they're going to #BlueSky 'cause they're “getting better reach” — remind them what always happens next.
They lure people in with engagement, then shadowban, censor, and sanitize once the politics get too real — especially when it comes to #Palestine.
Investing time and energy into these corporate-lite platforms is a trap. We’ve seen it over and over: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok — now BlueSky. It’s the same playbook with new branding.
Mastodon isn’t perfect, but at least it's not selling you out the second you speak truth.
Tell your people: don’t chase numbers. Chase liberation.
#FreePalestine. Always. 🖤❤️💚✊🏽

Siempre me quedé con el pendiente de retomar el tema, pero no sabia como expresar.. Es justo uno de los grandes retos de MI "moderna" que esta intentando de tratar SimpleX; identidad unica (vinculada con algun otro proveedor, como 😰 un numero telefónico!) y listas de contactos (centralizadas) basadas en tales identidades. En fin, creo que habrá que hacer el esfuerzo de cambiar actitudes, y no desanimar con falsas declaraciones tipo "demasiado complejo, no podrás"
Si se puede!

With one's own solution, one is not limited to just forwarding to another phone number, although for sure this may be "easiest".
For example, Android (AOSP) actually had native SIP support integrated in stock dialer before android 12 although some manufacturers hid it, and yes there may be battery drain issues and other issue for reliability. But it was there, and worked!
Core support is still there of course, VoLTE and WoWifi is just glorified SIP.

didww.com have been good to us, and even though I have not used it (no need), I understand they also have a fairly powerful web based switch control panel.
They only thing I have an issue with is Caller ID forwarding, this is because regulation and the industry has severely tightened restrictions on this in recent years. One used to be able to originate calls with any CID one cared to put in the headers.
