  1. Our main Matrix room has been broken by protocol bugs causing state resets again. This occurred around a year ago and our room hasn't had time to regrow to the same size before the same thing happened again. We've determined that it's directly caused by the raids on our rooms.

  2. @cinnyapp for #MatrixDotOrg just makes me sad at how close Matrix is to being a proper Discord alternative, while still having so many glaring issues at the protocol level that NEED to be fixed.

    Also can Matrix just please accept the custom emote PR?? Half the apps use it already

    As a Matrix user, I'm so sad and disappointed this happened. I hope alternative implementations such as Conduit or Construct go stable so that we don't have to rely so much on Dendrite or Synapse.

    The Matrix foundation always had funding issues, but I never thought it would come to the point where they'd move their main server implementations to Vector and license it aGPL with selling exceptions. Copyleft has never been a Matrix thing.

    You know what adds insult to injury? They've warned us about this for so long. They kept telling us that Matrix wasn't sustainable and that we needed to start donating or they wouldn't be able to keep their permissive licensing. Now, here we are, with the main server implementations being aGPL.

  4. Why hasn't anybody made an encrypted alternative to eMail with Matrix?

  5. @sagolla my personal recommendation is to follow tags instead and from there on you can actually start following people with your same interests

    For example I'm a huge fan of Rust and Matrix so I follow the hashtags and :)

  6. @bwi herzlichen willkommen. BTW ihr könntet auch @matrix unterstützen, wenn ihr die Technologie schon nutzt #matrixdotorg #matrix

  7. The year ends, a little money was still left, so I just took that, split it 50:50 and donated it to both #Mastodon and @matrix. Both complement each other nicely.

    Thanks @Liberapay for making it easy!

  8. I just got the results of my survey and damn they're overwhelming!

    With that said though, I can easily tell that the biggest issue in Matrix, is that nobody knows what it is!

    Rather than a protocol based on HTTP/JSON, many people believe it's just a chatroom server, some even said that it was a p2p system to interchange files, other people said it was an extension to XMPP even

    If people understood what Matrix actually is, it could take off a lot more easily

  9. @rich To some extent I think that's down to early adopter syndrome. I join loads of new platforms and in the early days they're all like this.

    This is just on a bigger scale because it's taken off quickly, but it's not too different on the

  10. We had to create a new #grapheneos:grapheneos.org chat room to work around state reset bugs in Matrix protocol / server software. Previous room had ~15000 members and is redirected through the room upgrade, but it's not seamless. You need to explicitly join the new room.

    List of our public chat rooms is available at grapheneos.org/contact#communi with links to join through the official Element web client if you're new to Matrix. It's as good a time as any to join our chat rooms. A positive side to needing a room upgrade is that the main room is faster.

  11. Amazingly comfy hoodie, thanks @matrix! Been having a rough few weeks and this feels like wearing a soft hug. Much needed.

  12. Just saying it #element_io and #matrixdotorg instant messaging solution is painfully buggy. Everyday I encounter several serious bugs. Well, maybe someday this will get better, when they stop adding features and start fixing stuff.

    Yes, I had to use Signal to write this comment on desktop and post on mobile Twtter client, because Element is so broken that I don't even see my own messages in any reasonable time (15+ minutes!)

    During this week again two friends said that they won't use Matrix anymore because it's so buggy.

    I don't know of any, but building one with ansible and a cloud hosting provider shouldn't be to hard. I am a #matrix user myself

  14. It would be so nice, if #matrixdotorg would have room specific #option, if the room is included in the #message full text #search #index or not.
  15. I'm writing a guide to getting started on #matrix is there anything that *has* to be in it?

    What are some instances you would recommend?

  16. GitHub project matrix-commander seems to have a few really nice pulls pending. Fixin #SSO, display-name and making .py file executable. Low number of commits in general, time to fork? https://github.com/8go/matrix-commander/pulls #matrix #matrixcommander #matrixdotorg #fork #python #cli #client
  17. 83% (von 6) der Teilnehmer meiner - damit sehr kleinen :/ Umfrage finden dass Verstöße gegen das Verbot von Hassreden oder Aufrufe zu Gewalt von den Betreibern von Plattformen sozialer Medien gemeldet werden müssen.
    Finde ich prinzipiell auch, steht aber meinem Wunsch nach Ende zu Ende Verschlüsselung und föderierten Systemen wie #matrixdotorg oder dem #fediverse entgegen. Da fehlen die Informationen zum Inhalt ja.
    Könnt ihr das Dilemma nachvollziehen, oder habt ihr Lösungsideen?

  18. re my last rt: #matrixdotorg seems to be growing, but — skimming through the post — I haven't seen any updates regarding ux and onboarding improvements so I'll stick to IRC / Zulip combo for the time being.
