Results will be announced on Monday! matrix.org/governing-board/ele…

#Matrix #OpenSource #OpenStandards #OpenGovernance


Just a few days until the voting period closes in our Governing Board elections!

We're at or near 100% voter turnout in many categories, but Individual Member turnout is much lower. Check your inbox for an email from noreply@opavote.com and cast your ballot today 🗳 matrix.org/governing-board/ele…

#Matrix #OpenSource #OpenStandards #OpenGovernance


OOOOOOIIIIII!

If you donated to #matrix regularly and over a certain sum, you are eligible to vote in the current foundation board election!

You should have gotten an email from opavote with a link. Make sure you use your chance to vote, if you want to! You may need to check whatever email was connected to your donations.

You can find more information about the election here: matrix.org/governing-board/ele…


If this lands on your feed, tell me about different features that are just missing in Matrix.

It can be anything, but please don't include memes like "unable to decrypt message" or other things that are already in the works, or maybe has already been merged (e.g media captions). Also, no, I won't "just use XMPP".

Some examples include better forwarded messages, rich profiles, or a live location sharing, just to name a few.

(I am writing something about this, boosts appreciated!)

Is the matrix.org homeserver a single server? can it not be lots of little servers with a central message bus? I have a bunch of #synapse worker nodes in containers spread across servers with #redis ?, I think, between them. I do realise that my little setup with just me isn't quite the same #matrix


Anyone else experiencing severe service outages on matrix.org currently and during the last week?
My and my friend's account don't function at all and at @matrix I see only posts about their elections lately ...

#matrix


You know who will never mine your private communications to train an LLM?

Better yet, you know whose words you don't need to trust, because you aren't obligated to use any particular server? And the software is open source? And regularly audited by security researchers?

Matrix.

It's not perfect, but no tool is. It's a matter of what trade offs you're willing to accept. Just sayin' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

En fait on a aucune alternative viable à #Discord ou aux communautés #WhatsApp : le principe de regrouper des chats ensemble, et en bonus d'y ajouter des canaux audios/videos.
En vrai y'a #Mattermost sur ce créneaux, #Matrix aussi, mais j'ai l'impression que l'UI est pas au niveau. Je me demande s'il existe une XEP #XMPP pour regrouper des canaux entre eux 🤔
Mais de toute façon on a aucun client XMPP multiplateforme qui soit prêt pour un usage grand public 😔


Gnah ... dieses #Matrix, ne? ... Was ist eine sichere Variante, das zu verwenden? Ich muss wohl jetzt für ein Projekt. Gibt's ne Möglichkeit, den eigenen Account zu schützen? Zero-knowledge auf dem Server und Kontaktsperren für alle, außer einer Handvoll explizit erlaubten Accounts, so dass auch Server-Admins nichts von meinen Nachrichten sehen können? Ist blöd, wenn man Matrix-Admins explizit misstraut ...

#Matrix #OpenSource #FOSS #Governance


Ich nutze für #Chat fast nur#XMPP und #Matrix.
Matrix hat in den letzten Jahren so zugelegt, dass ich da inzwischen einen privaten und zwei berufliche ID's habe.
Matrix sehe ich auch deshalb als Vorteil, weil es viele öffentliche Räume für alle möglichen interessanten Themen gibt, z.B. GNOME Accessibility...
Was mir aber am besten gefällt ist, dass es ne Reihe unterschiedlicher Clients für alle möglichen Geräte und OS'es gibt und keine Verknüpfung mit ner TelNr oder Handy.

Man könnte den Homeserver der @adminforge@kanoa.de Engagierten ausprobieren
nope.chat


Nachdem #Telegram ziemlich eindeutig Nazisymbolik im letzten "Hey guck mal wie tol wir sind"-Pitch verwendet hat, gehen mir langsam die barrierefreien Messenger aus. Die Partnerin und ich überlegen, es mal mit #Matrix zu versuchen und sind etwas erschlagen davon, wo man anfängt. Selbst hosten ist zumindest momentan keine Option. Wo ist es denn angenehm?


Quick reminder that @element built a metaverse that works better than anything Facebook has shown, for a fraction of the investment, and built entirely on free and open source technology including @matrix : thirdroom.io/

#Matrix #ThirdRoom


@FediVerseExplorer @WestphalDenn I am using web version of #element in @Firefox by default however #electron based apps are now accessible on #linux in a similar way as they are #accessible on #windows. So I think you will like it. Also #fractal a #gtk4 #matrix client developed with @GNOME technologies is accessible with #orca.


"Xfce is moving from IRC to Matrix"

An announcement from Xfce developer Alexander Schwinn(alexxcons):

alexxcons.github.io/blogpost_1…

#Xfce #Matrix


If you run your own #synapse #matrix server you probably want to update to v1.105.1 now: github.com/element-hq/synapse/…


@pvagner@fedi.ml
I've read your reply to @WestphalDenn@social.cologne questions about working with #Gnome on #Linux. Thanx for your insights!

What interests me:
Is the #Electron#Desktop#App#Element for #Matrix#Chat accessible for #blind#users? You use it?

:microsoft: ➡️ :matrix: It's a Big Freaking Deal when we can move any #UnitedNations organization away from #Microsoft.

The system-wide IT shop UNICC has announced its move to #Matrix:

I hope the UN can make it work but the federated decentralised approach makes sense. The United Nations ditches Big Tech in a bid for security | TechRadar

Using @matrix at scale isn't fun. There are way too many matrix moment™ situations to count.

And now it was discovered that maybe there's a problem where banned users can still read rooms with their banned accounts?

Seriously, has anyone using #matrix ever been involved with moderation?


Finally found time to sign up and become a foundation member of the @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org. Do it now! It's a quick and easy form. Takes five minutes and you're helping to secure the financial independence of #Matrix. #FOSS


We're very happy to use a free and open source, decentralized tool for chat - @matrix has been a great resource! Fedora contributors can easily connect with each other or outside communities with a single account.

All users who make a Fedora Account are able generate a related Matrix account from fedora.im.

#Followerpower ist gefragt. Nachdem großen Update der Messenger-Matrix habe ich noch den Line-Messenger ergänzt. Ich bitte alle #Follower mal einen prüfenden Blick auf die Matrix zu werfen - insbesondere auf jene Messenger, die ihr selbst benutzt. Sollten Angaben nicht stimmen bzw. überarbeitet werden, so meldet das bitte. Entweder hier oder über die Projektseite.

is there a hosting provider that offeres managed email, xmpp, and matrix hosting as a single bundle?

#AskFedi #xmpp #email #matrix #hosting


Now is a good time to become a Matrix Foundation member, because it will allow you to vote for members of the new Governing Board, who will support and guide Matrix.

#matrix


Wir suchen EntwicklerInnen, die Lust auf #matrix und #Kotlin / #KotlinMultiplatform haben. Wir entwickeln den timmy-messenger.de und möchten Menschen finden, die gut in unser kleines Team passen und Spaß an agiler Produktentwicklung ohne Hierarchien haben. Viel von dem, was wir entwickeln ist #opensource. Mehr dazu hier: germantechjobs.de/de/jobs/conn…

Würde mich freuen, wenn das gut geteilt wird 🙂


So I'm just a few days into running my #Matrix server, and I have to say that doing any kind of public server that requires moderation seems like a very half-baked proposition right now.

Using any kind of bot for moderation—the only real option because bans do not propagate to all rooms in a "space,"—requires an encryption hall pass proxy that hasn't seen a commit in almost a year, despite several bugs. That's to say nothing of the awful state of documentation.

I'm soldiering on, but this is some classic open source nonsense. "Leave the easy proprietary platforms and just host your own thing! Here's no help at all, also this and that don't work. RTFM! Except the TFM isn't finished."


Thanks for replying. As far as using tax payer funds to support #Matrix, I know that there would be massive resistance to this idea in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 (using taxes to fund anything long term is always controversial, regardless of the reason).

I do believe managed hosting would be a better option to support your foundation, which is a path that #WordPress, #WriteFreely & #Minds are using.


"You have to understand, we’re responsible for taxpayer money here. We can’t just make a donation to your open source project."

— a national government who relies on #Matrix when being asked to support it financially

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #FLOSS #funding #xz #sustainability


Open source infrastructure *must* be a publicly funded service, and funders need to support maintenance – not just new feature development 📣

This is on our minds this week in the wake of the #xz news, and as we continue to seek funding to support #Matrix.

Ja tinc creada la classe Python per a connectar a l'API de #Matrix (em sento com si fos Neo 😂).
La classe inclou, per ara, tres mètodes:
- obtenir informació d'un usuari ✅
- registrar un nou usuari ✅
- llistar usuaris :loading:
Els mètodes amb ✅ funcionen perfectament. Encara no he provat el que llista els usuaris.
Ja he alliberat el projecte sencer:

codeberg.org/spla/matrix

Aquest codi permet als usuaris locals d'un servidor #Mastodon registrar-se ells mateixos en un servidor Matrix/Synapse.

In the glory days of web 1.0, social websites would prominently link out to their digital neighbors via lists known as webrings; magical doorways to an expansive hinterland of digital villages.

Let's envision what a truly federated chat like #Matrix could do to improve the cross-connectivity of chat channels. Most of these features are already possible, they just haven't been implemented yet in a community-oriented client experience.
