They can't even do a coup without fucking half of it up.

From boiling water into water that happens to be in a switched-on kettle. Huge improvement.
When the enshittification comes (when, not if, they'll have to drag their feet to move somewhere else again. All their followers will have to follow them again. Had they moved to a proper open solution, they could've stayed there indefinitely.
It's not just about Bluesky" not being the proper and pure solution", it's about this being a temporary measure at best, and people don't seem to realize that.
Simple, the position doesn't require technical insight. At all. It should, but it doesn't.
If I understand this document correctly, it would mean that the entire connection somehow gets routed through Meta's servers. I can fully understand the reluctance of other parties, including Signal, to do that, and I wonder how this is actually compliant with the DMA.
So they either keep Signal around and be able to talk to you, or they don't. They don't need to stop using WA to use Signal.
If they don't want to do that, it'd mean that you would have to keep WA around for the one or two contacts you have there (and only there), which is somewhat comparable, actually, if you disregard the "but meta is short for metastasis, actually" bit.
Which one of the two it ends up being is between you and your contacts.

~~Ehh, I'm fairly sure it's not. It certainly wasn't in the past. When do you believe that changed?~~
Never mind, you were talking about OO, not LO, my bad.
If you mean a (read-only) web interface, there's also cgit and gitweb.
I mean, it's your party and if Gitea works for you, that's great. It still is a bigger piece of software than what you need (or at least what you've told so far), it's up to you to determine if you're fine with that.
i don't want wordpress.
Me neither, but a lot of folks do (or at least think they do), and if this makes it an approachable gateway into the larger fediverse for them, I'm all for it.
They can always switch to something better, later.
It works for me in .nl, so that's probably not it.
...I have no words.
