We have some exciting news! The team at Purism are thrilled to announce the launch of Librem One https://librem.one Private and secure email, chat, social and VPN. No ads! No tracking! No data sharing! Just the best end-to-end encrypted communication and social. Join the revolution today and take back control of your data and life #LibremOne
@purism I really hope that the hardware you sell doesn't tightly couple this service. I'm excited for my librem5 but, as it stands, have no interest in librem one.
@purism I like the idea but what are you paying for (outside supporting you lads and using your cloud)?
- LibremChat looks like a modified Riot.im
- LibremSocial looks like a (barely) modified FediLab
- LibremMail looks like a modified K-9 Mail
- LibremTunnel looks like a modified OpenVPN app

It's nice to that you have put the effort into this, but wouldn't it have been easier to just promote those specific apps?
Or am I missing something?
@purism J'ai toujours supposé que le Librem 5 serait mon premier produit Librem. Mais commencer par Librem One semble bien plus raisonnable. 😉
@switchingsocial To be honest, a lot of people that aren't interested in computing, aren't interested in this stuff either.
They just stick with WhatsApp, Facebook and Google.

Not saying they shouldn't move but more that they don't care to move...
Also not saying that we shouldn't make it accessible for "non-tech" people to get into this but doing it like this kinda feels wrong...
@purism Nice to have another VPN service available, though I hope it doesn't interfere with the much more important work IMO of making libre hardware available!
@purism Haven't seen anyone happy about this. Sad to see Purism do this without much thought.
@purism@Purism While I'm all for decentralisation and moving away from malicious corporate entities, I don't really like how it's made to seem as if every service on librem.one is something made by Purism. The technical specifications do say what protocol is being used but not the underlying software and I think that's an underhanded way to go about it.

At least say LibremSocial is Mastodon, LibremTunnel is PIA, LibremMail is any old mail server with tight GPG integration & K-9 Mail from Android, and that LibremFiles and Contacts will, I assume, be Nextcloud.

I really don't like people that come along, take a good open source project, rebrand it, and pass it off as their own. Transparency is a good thing and I don't really see any on the front page of https://librem.one

If you were operating this as a non-profit, that would one thing. It's an entirely different matter to be making money from free software without giving credit where credit is due.
@purism social functionality would be nice, if only it allowed reporting abusive users!
@purism
Good job purism for bringing an easy solution for the masses. But, is it true that you prefer the Google Playstore instead of FDroid or direct download as Threema is doing? You ask for privacy and dont support FDroid?
@purism Are you going to support custom email domains? How about custom domains for social and chat?
@purism

Hello! Awesome game changing stuff!

But i have a SailfishOS on my mobile, not Android, and i don't want to use Google Play.

Any plans for F-Droid package?

Thanks!

@fdroidorg
@purism Yeah sure, haha... totally not gonna change later... 🤔
