The central critique targets the technical infrastructure of the recent 'Cables of Resistance' conference. Specific failures cited include the decision to use Telegram as the primary communication platform and hosting the official website on AWS. @[email protected] pointed out the troubling use of Bluesky and Instagram for mobilization channels, amplifying doubts about the overall tech stack.

Liebe #CablesOfResistance Community,

das war eine wirkliche nette Konferenz und hoffentlich ein Anfang von mehr.

Schade, dass Ihr Euch auf #Telegram als Kommunikationsplattform geeinigt habt. Warum das keine gute Idee ist, habe ich hier mal aufgeschrieben.

Und hoffe, dass ein paar auch hier sind und dort anregen, zumindest nicht nur Telegram zu benutzen. Wenn schon.

@adbenitez @CafeJunkie das ist interessant. Danke. Ich habe eben mal installiert. Man wird nicht nach Server gefragt. Nur Neuer oder bestehender Account. 

Mich würde aber auch interessieren warum alle wie @kuketzblog auch #diday Signal als Alternative empfehlen?
