@adminforge Leider kann ich mit der iOS-App "Element Messenger" keinen neuen Account erstellen. Stattdessen muss ich die iOS-App "Element X" verwenden. Dort erhalte ich dann nach Eingabe des Homeservers 'nope.chat' den Hinweis, dass dieser aktualisiert werden muss.

Ich habe für #Furries aus der Region #Franken #NordBayern einen Chatraum auf #MatrixMessenger eingerichtet

Habt ihr Vorschläge für einen #MatrixMessenger Client der als Backport für 32-Bit #Linux verfügbar ist?

there are very few projects I've had around for months where I have a fairly okay understanding of how they work that still manage to make me so angry that I want to just rage delete them ​ congrats Synapse, you are really tempting me.

is there any matrix chats i should join as im looking for more

what i dont understand in this realm is that theres leftists that stick to corporate social media which screw them over and wont try fedi and get away from the enshittifacation and say its too difficult even though ive shown them how it works and the basics of it

Unfortunately, this confirms what I’ve already suspected about Matrix all along: https://gist.github.com/soatok/8aef6f67fec9c702f510ee24d19ef92b

I looked into Matrix back in 2020 on a far more superficial level. Back then I simply wanted to know whether non-technical users can rely on Matrix for encrypted chats without shooting themselves in the foot.

What I found was a huge mess. The different Matrix clients all had very different capabilities, also when it came to encryption. It was pretty much a matter of luck whether your Matrix client could establish an encrypted connection to another Matrix client, whether it would do so by default and whether it would notify you in a useful way if it failed to encrypt the connection. Even the official Riot messenger didn’t perform well. There clearly were no baseline requirements, and expecting users to recognize whether they are secure or not just doesn’t work.

I later got a reply from the developers. I can only quote approximately since that was on Twitter so the conversation is lost now. It essentially boiled down to the fact that reliable encryption was never a design goal of the protocol. They wanted to give client developers the most flexibility. So client developers took that and largely implemented only the easy parts.

I have a lot of Matrix questions ​

Anyone here have any experience spinning up a Matrix instance?

Putting a bunch of bridges into Matrix to try and centralize my messaging is really giving me Trillian/Pidgin vibes. ​ Except Trillian/Pidgin were way more straightforward (no shade to Matrix, it's not really what it's meant for).

It's depressing thinking back to when XMPP was super promising and companies were on board to implement it. Instead of that happening, they all teamed up to crush it and messaging has stayed the same level of fragmentation (or, depending on how you look at it, gotten worse) in the meantime.

Hi, #askfedi!
Which matrix clients would you suggest for total beginners (on linux or mac or windows)? Easy to use, with few (or well-hidden) features?

Are there reasons for or against certain servers?

(I'm going to host a python class and want to provide an easy way to communicate for the students...) (And I don't know a lot about matrix...)

I really hope, I can keep in contact with friends and family. Without Zuckerberg's proprietary app.

I ask, are there community run multi-protocol-servers?

I mean the way that i could set up an chatroom on them that is accesible for #XMPP users on an XMPP address,
for #MatrixMessenger user on an Matrix address,
perhaps also for these who prefer Telegram to connect to an Telegram bot an be part of the same chatroom,
perhpas also accessible as an #IRC server channel as well
