Different philosophy.

Ntfy uses pub-sub like MQTT. It publishes messages and anyone (with access) can subscribe to it. Want to connect 250 clients across 50 people to have the same messages delivered? Easy.

Gotify uses end to end messaging. A user creates an application on their chosen client. Gotify uses a REST api send the notification pulled from the chosen app to the user who made it. Want to do the same as above? You have to set it up 250 times. Gotify was the first to have authentication and some people say it is more robust, but I can’t speak on that. Also gotify is easier to set up and makes sense for a single user.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but that is the biggest architectural difference.

We have 38h in Belgium, but if you work 40, you get 12 extra full days of holiday during the year (what I do).

A 32 hour work week with no salary cut will never happen, but that would be a dream

When has there been a revolution without a revolt in all of history?

When has there been a 180° change without a revolution in all of history?

In much of the world, Unions were forged in blood of many revolts.

Nation separation and independence was almost exclusively revolution.

Even the civil rights (which most people have been whitewashed into thinking was peaceful) had the black panthers. They have been completely villified, but the civil rights movement would not have succeeded without their willingness to use violence.

History has shown time and time again that violence works and peaceful movements are stamped out 99% of the time.

I would strongly argue that it is more difficult now.

There is mass communication, yes, but 90% of that communication is rolled on over to the government with the exact location, search history, secrets, psychological profile, medical histoey, vices, everything at the tip of their fingers for every single dissident to exploit and blackmail them into stopping.

In those days if a letter wasn’t signed and resistance posters were put up at odd hours, nobody would be able to track down the leader and who was doing it. Now, the surveillance state is so big, it would take a matter of hours to make a full roster of the resistance and have an “accidental” police raid on their house where they are killed “by mistake” and it is ruled a suicide.

The entire success of revolution movements came out of anonymity and the fact that the government couldn’t snuff out the organization and break it up. Now, with technology, it is quite trivial to break anonymity anywhere on the main internet. Long lasting organization is much much harder.

That isn’t even getting into engineered addictive media to keep people occupied and demotivates just enough to not get organized.
