alright im finally on matrix as @anna:librem.one i guess??? hit me up??????
god. anyone who wants this to replace discord is not being realistic. it is WAY too hard to figure out what's going on, and i like, know things that a lot of people just don't
i dont like how i have no idea what other people can see about me, or what information is public. if i connect to irc can others see my ip address? what profile fields are publicly available? its REALLY unclear and i can't just... view my profile in the normal view profile view like i can on pretty much any other service

i guess heres a link to my profile

https://matrix.to/#/@anna:librem.one

id be absolutely interested in running a matrix server for witches but for some reason it takes an ungodly amount of supercomputing strength for more than a handful of accounts and i cant afford that shit
ok this communities thing makes no hecking sense i guess server admins have to set them up? seems kind of annoying
dark lady forgive me for what i must yabba dabba do
ftr i would kill for eugen if i had to. but he is still wrong about rich text ok.
other things that matrix has solved is a way to purchase sticker packs. but it has not solved haveing a UI that makes any goddamned sense
i found a way to make a room. i made it. but i have no idea how to tell people to get to it other than to invite them directly

ok the room is #witcheslive:librem.one i put it in the directory i guess????

the other reason i wont set up matrix i have no fucking clue how to support it

theres a leftists channel but it seems to be filled with cops. do not recommend.
like, lmao

yeah they all rushed to talk about how chris dorner is bad optics this place sucks and staying there is just going to get me tailed by cops.

not sure about this matrix thing so far lmao

i think the design sensibility of matrix/riot is basically a bad clone of telegram with discord/slackesque features tacked on via a fever dream of using conversations.js once
@anna there’s always been something off putting with Matrix, I’ve always felt it as “eh, another client” as it had such a familiar feel. I never knew it was a mix like that though 👀
@valiant i mean i dont know anything im just saying thats what it feels like
@anna is it worth trying out?
@anna Matrix is a sick joke honestly, there's a reason I've given up on using it 6 separate times over the last 2 years or so
@devilish its a dream you want to be real but my god
