Craig Maloney ☕<p>So it appears that 8x8.vc is no longer going to be a thing in the new year (February 2023). What was nice about it is that it was a way to cheaply and cheerfully have a moderated instance of Jitsi with consistent links.</p><p>Naturally we can't have nice things anymore.</p><p>I've run my own Jitsi instance and while it worked it was a pain in the ass. And all of their upgrade paths assume that I'm a business that needs to be able to phone the globe. If you know my phone habits you'll know this is a bug, not a feature.</p><p>Of course getting anyone over at 8x8 is fraught with chat-bots trying to understand the human condition while offering no service for your trouble.</p><p>If anyone know of anyone at 8x8 that I can talk to about my specific issue and how best to proceed while giving them some recompense for their service I'd be much obliged.</p><p>(Note: this is not a request for technical support or blathering about how you solved this problem with your bespoke solution. I don't care to solve your problem at this time. I'd rather give Zoom my money than try to spin up another problem in the guise of a solution. Beep boop).</p><p><a href="https://octodon.social/tags/8x8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>8x8</span></a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/meet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meet</span></a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/jitsi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jitsi</span></a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/DriveBySupportNotWelcome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DriveBySupportNotWelcome</span></a></p>
