It occurs to me that Matrix 2.0 clients could auto-leave public rooms after a period of non-use (eg a month). To reduce unnecessary traffic in the network.

*Without* removing it from the room list in the interface. So the person using it can rejoin the room, just by going into it as normal.

After all, joining a room syncs its history, and Sliding Sync makes that much faster than in Matrix 1.0. So a person rejoining a room wouldn't necessarily notice the difference.

Der var oversettelsene av Matrix Authentication Service fullført for norsk bokmål.

Håper oversettelsene vil bli til glede for mange!

Ikke mer enn at jeg har lest om at Matrix.org har tatt i bruk den nye autentiseringstjenesten Matrix Authentication Service, blir jeg spurt om jeg vil være Reviewer for oversettelsesprosjektet.

25% av tekststrengene er alt oversatt til norsk bokmål og det gleder meg å se at noen jobber med nynorsk oversettelse også.

ElementX is *so* much faster than the current stable versions of Element and its various soft forks (I'm currently using SchildiChat).

As I've said before, I'm guessing it will take another 6-12 months for all the Matrix 2.0 upgrades to be rolled out and fully stabilized in the various app and server software. But if ElementX performance is anything to go by, the new and improved Matrix ecosystem will be well worth an open-minded test.

Hey guys for no reason at all, about how good is Matrix 2.0 / Element X with its calls and video calls? Or even matrix 1.0.

"Honestly, it is insanely exciting to see Matrix having evolved from the 'good enough for enthusiastic geeks' to the 'wow, this feels better than Signal' phase that we’re entering now. Meanwhile, matrix-rust-sdk is tracking all the latest Matrix 2.0 work, so any client built on matrix-rust-sdk (Fractal, Element X, iamb, etc) can benefit from it immediately."

· txt.we2.ee for #secure self-destructing text

· #GDPR compliant #privacy policy

we2.ee improvements

GDPR-compliant privacy policy, new logo, profile shortlinks, sliding sync, Element Web, Privatebin

@matrix is going through another wobbly period, when the UX gets a bit unreliable. I'm guessing it's to do with all the big changes being made for Matrix 2.0, and the work on DMA-mandated interop?

Last time Matrix got wobbly was when the core team were working on RiotX and rebranding to @element. Things settled down a *lot* after that, and the UX became much smoother. Fingers crossed that the same will happen again.
