A free messaging app to connect with friends and family.
I think they just took the name #Friendica because it is closed-related to the word friends. It looks at first glance like just any other "secure" chat messenger that has its source code disclosed from the public. It feels more like yet-another #WhatsApp clone than trying to scam people. The name of it is maybe confusing here because it is the same as our software's name. Maybe try the 3-contact-attempts approach before reporting it?

In your opinion is this a correct operation?

@Michael Vogel @Poliverso notizie dal fediverso Yes, it is misleading because of choice of the name. People get easily confused with THIS Friendica and their single central website (I guess it doesn't federate). I always act "in good faith", means I won't assume people do bad by default. But this now more looks very deceptive and misleading.

If they would have said on their website that they are not affiliated or in any kind related to our software, that would be fine. We should then better warn users towards their website.

And please edit your post to not link directly to them but but their links in a code block.
