I’ve just started to use #jitsi in place of #zoom. They are taking some heat for requiring third-party authentication (google, facebook, or github, hopefully others soon) to create new conferences on their free https://meet.jit.si/ site.

I never considered using their site. I am fleeing the architecture of centralized platforms, not particular “bad” firms.

#jitsi continues to support #selfhosting (and there authentication—or not—however you like). So I remain quite delighted with them. 1/

Here’s their announcement of an authentication requirement: https://jitsi.org/blog/authentication-on-meet-jit-si/ ht @raccoon

Here’s my recent write-up of setting up a self-hosted #jitsi installation: https://tech.interfluidity.com/2023/08/21/getting-started-with-jitsi/index.html /fin
