  • I’m dealing with this with my 10 year old daughter, all her friends have social media, Facebook Messenger etc.

    I found delta chat, which uses IMAP email, but presents it in a chat format, she just needed her friends email accounts, easy. And it killed the desire for messenger.

    We also recently setup her own website with a forum, so she and her friends can write stories, share images etc. We haven’t got to her actually building her own homepage yet, but it’s coming.

    She hasn’t experienced mass social media yet, so having her own (sub)domain with a forum, her email@domain, etc is exciting for her and is letting her express herself on a platform that me and her can both fully control.



  • I use syncthing at work extensively, in this case it doesn’t match with what I want to accomplish.

    I don’t want to sync file deletions for example, the devs have now made that option hidden and won’t promise it will stay around. Also once the pictures are on the computer I slowly move them out of the FTP folder to their own categorized folders.

    Syncthing is a great tool though!
