I have a #MatrixMessenger account if anyone ever wants to talk!! It's @ wyrmlet:transgalaktika.space (without the space, no clue how to escape a username on mastodon)

Mostly went there since very few projects provide a messenger app which supports both e2ee and federation; also discord sucks, also setting up my own server for a few weeks was a lot of fun

@shirra we can bring more Life to #MatrixMessenger
I now have my own matrix instance! :3
@blackwolf:blackwolfwoof.com if you wanna add me.
I've also set up audio/video/screenshare via "Element call" (Livekit & JWT).
Do you have any experience with matrix and if yes, let me know :)
I am still trying to get away from services like Discord, by moving to Signal, Mastoson and Matrix. Signal and Mastodon i have used for a few yeara now but Matrix is new for me. #MatrixMessenger #matrix
Matrix users, recommend me Matrix spaces... or places to find good Matrix spaces, please. I'm looking to ditch Discord entirely 🤔

This is old news for some but way too many people didn’t get the memo: do not trust Matrix crypto. It’s not that they have issues (who doesn’t), it’s their approach which is the opposite of taking security seriously.

@8O8PiO есть гайд "прими красную таблетку" или как там, там объясняется кратко что и как.

В целом, на моём поверхностном уровне (пользуюсь 1-2 года), большая часть проблем матрикса с которыми сталкиваешься - это распространение своих ключей. Ещё есть проблемки с мета-данными, или были и теперь их нет, не уточнял.

Ещё есть техническая возможность импортировать ключи с одного аккаунта на другой, чтобы расшифровать доступную переписку, но для которой нет ключей.

Комнаты могут быть на нескольких серверах, и в этом случае возможно общение между серверами, коннект между которыми напрямую заблокирован (cred: @mo ).

Matrix - протокол. Synapse и другие - программы-сервера. Element, Element X, Fluffy chat - программы-клиенты.

Element X поддерживает https://webxdc.org/ , но ломает совместимость, не углублялся.

Матрикс довольно просто селфхостить и он сможет федерироваться с кем хочет. Желательно иметь домен с https, можно 3 уровня.

Webxdc: mini apps shared in a chat

Secure mini apps for chats. No internet access, no tracking, no servers.

I'm currently trying to start a group chat. I don't want to use discord, but maybe something with similar features could be useful. So I hear [matrix] is probably the best alternative to that???? At least it's one I've heard about from being in the fediverse (which is annoying and at times complicated to use tbh, even after having cleared the biggest hurdle of getting started).

So then matrix.org tells me that the easiest way to start is to just join their big group. Which seems to defeat the purpose of being federated???

I have questions like: What are the pro's and con's of using the biggest instance/provider/whatever the heck it's called?

Is it going to be slower for being in a different country?

Will the privacy laws of different countries between provider and me and group members affect us?

Do I have to pay for making a group happen? Am I planning on "hosting" a group? Or does "hosting" mean something coding/programming related and not the social thing of "I'm the host and invite people over to my house as guests for a dinner party (except virtually)"? I DONT KNOW   

Would using the biggest provider be free but other providers cost money? (What exactly are they charging for? Using discord doesn't cost money, do these alternatives?)

Will people on matrix.org SEE my public group when they search for groups?

It's not impossible to find these things out despite not being a programmer, but like. Really fucking hard.

Why is it always so hard

@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.
