While Jitsi is open-source, most people use the platform they provide, meet.jit.si, for immediate conference calls. They have now introduced a “Know Your Customer” policy and require at least one of the attendees to log in with a Facebook, Github (Microsoft), or Google account.

One option to avoid this is to self-host, but then you’ll be identifiable via your domain and have to maintain a server.

As a true alternative to Jitsi, there’s jami.net. It is a decentralized conference app, free open-source, and account creation is optional. It’s available for all major platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android), including on F-Droid.

    Just destroyed everything they built in 1 fell swoop. There’s absolutely no reason to use Jitsi at this point.

    They built a great software. The software is still there.
    meet.jit.si is just a demo instance for the software, nothing more. You’re supposed to use the software yourself.

      Yes, I see that now, looking further into it. Framasoft has a very easy and intuitive instance at framatalk.org
