If its open-source, couldn't somebody just fork it and remove the login requirement?

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Well looks like jitsis gone.
The sky is falling the sky is falling!
Well, time to find another instance, cause fuck that noise
How disappointing.
It was great for sharing private contact info with Google/Facebook/etc friends without revealing it to those invasive services. Instead of sharing your private address where it would be harvested, you could meet in an anonymous Jitsi room, exchange addresses there, and contact each other directly from then on.
Self-hosting doesn't solve that use case, unless perhaps you're willing to buy throw-away domains and IP addresses every time you do it.
You can also use matrix. Matrix currently uses jitsi. In the future it'll use "element call" but right now, jitsi.
Ah. Thank you. Decent work around, still more steps sadly enough, but it'll have to do.
RIP Jitsi ಠ_ಠ
lmao
