I hope this changes (even if a little bit) once Forgejo (FLOSS Gitea fork) adds forge federation.

I’d just like to add that you can use a temporary phone number service to sign up to Signal as you only need a phone number to register, not to actually use Signal.

Or you can use a doas implementation like OpenDoas, or maybe sudo-rs...

But the US can control US based companies, and create laws regarding how that data is used

Does that matter if they don't create said laws - since they're equally interested in their citizens data as facebook, google, etc. are?

This is a pretty good option, though I also think something like what aseprite has done is pretty good too (compile it yourself for free, or pay for a precompiled binary available through e.g. Steam) - from what I can tell this setup is fairly profitable.

KVM runs VMs pretty much like they are native

Well, it is a type 1 hypervisor…

Nah, no way. :)

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but vpr being memory-safe isn't a benefit that it has over rm, since rm apparently doesn't allocate any memory (as @radiant_bloom@lemm.ee wrote).

the first thing you mentioned as a benefit was memory safety.

Looks like I worded my project description poorly. As I wrote in another comment, I meant that this alternative is memory-safe (being written in safe Rust), but not that rm isn't.

edit: I've updated the post's title to clear things up

I don't know whether rm is memory-safe or not, but vpr is. By 'memory-safe alternative' I meant that this alternative is memory-safe, but not that rm isn't.

Gitea supports migrating from a variety of sources, but I'm not sure about a bot that does everything in one click or so. You could probably make a simple script for that, though.

Matrix/Element isn’t an alternative.

Why not?

And, what about Revolt?

To be fair, that one day he works is a pretty busy day.
