    There’s only one mexican instance, it uses a whitelist and it fucking federates with grad so… Yeah, out of options.

    I’ve been here since the reddit API exodus and I’ve never seen a latinamerican comm in my feed, much less latinamerican spanish posts.

    And hosting an instance is not that simple, it requires effort, content, time, some originality and money (even if a little)… And people who want to join, but I’ve seen maybe 1 mexican (who I assume lives in México too) other than me… Because mexicans love being strangled by meta, so there’s little to no incentive into creating a space for us in the fediverse.

    Which one of those is closer to what Telegram brings to the table?
    Mostly pretty stuff like gifs/mp4/webm with alpha, stickers, animated stickers and handling things like webp/webm, self-destructing multimedia, chats that dissapear after X time, sending huge files, the option to send something as a file if it can’t be played internally, a desktop version that I can use simultaneusly… maybe groups and channels too, adding people by alias instead of phone number (maybe qr, but not a huge link like the one SimpleX uses).

    You know, things that could help me to bring my “friends” and family on board or at least to give it a try.

    Because Matrix isn’t exactly private since it’s meant to be a Discord clone and I share piracy among my friends and family, or for the sexy times with my friends, I need something that at least has self-destructing messages and chats where messages dissapear after some time.

    I could trust it if I could self-host, but I lack the hardware (disk space, mostly) and the availability (I can’t leave my pc on all the time [also I live in México, the internet is terrible and I tend to hog it if I’m downloading something]), so I’d have to trust some random yahoo with my stuff but it wouldn’t have what I’m looking for anyway.
