[kwlug-disc] Trust in Musk.. or go to NextCloud

[Bob Jonkman]

Nextcloud uses the ActivityPub protocol, compatible with many other 
services: GNUsocial, Mastodon and Pleroma for microblogging, Friendica 
and Hubzilla for long-form social media, PeerTube for video sharing, 
PixelFed for photo sharing, and others.

All the microblogging and long-form social media clients and services 
are compatible. I regularly receive Friendica and Hubzilla messages on 
my GNUsocial and Mastodon accounts.

It should be possible to use any of the clients to get messages from any 
of the services, f'rinstance, getting messages from PeerTube on your 
GNUsocial account. I haven't done this (yet).
