In the wake of Discord’s recent announcement about age verification, Matrix recently came in for a lot of criticism by a lot of people who said it’s not a viable replacement. Andy works on Matrix for a living and Amolith is invested in the XMPP world so we get into secure messaging, trade-offs between security and user experience, federation, and more.

@latenightlinux I really enjoyed this episode, as someone who previously criticised matrix for its decisions, after reading every "I've given up on matrix" blog post, after trying every alternative, ive spun up a Continuwuity matrix homeserver and its the best experience I've had so far.
it obviously still has some sharp edges, but I think there is some very good work going into matrix to solve these problems and I'm glad matrix has someone like Andy working on it!
IMO its the best we have and i still reckon it is the future

@theraspb @latenightlinux I've been running a conduit matrix server for a year or so. It's got is rough edges but it's still running without major hiccups.
I would love to try continuwuity but it's (not yet) available on yunohost. (I'm too lazy to learn how to manage a server without some kind simplified system)

@kodein @latenightlinux Yeah i think i tried conduit and had little issues but once i saw that the continuwuity server had more work being done on it i decided to redeploy with continuwuity. Hopefully they'll add yunohost soon!

@theraspb @kodein @latenightlinux I’ve been running my instance on the Tuwunel foundation for some time now (it's also available on YunoHost), and for me personally, it’s been the best experience I’ve ever had for the Matrix network.
