Hmm, ja tohle moc nechapu. Co je spatne na Matrix? Jestli se nepletu, tak: i) nekolik otevrenych implementaci serveru, ii) nekolik otevrenych implementaci klientu pro ruzna zarizeni (nb, mobil, web), iii) otevrena specifikace protokolu, iv) protokol je federovany. Jakykoli IM bez tohohle jednoduse nedosahuje kvalit #matrix (v dlouhodobem horizontu, a samozrejme IMO).

Shit happens! No one should be judged.
But, can one do better?
Maybe there could be a better user guiding for new registrations in #Matrix #Apps (#Element, #ElementX) to give a better choise for #Homeservers instead to lead people always to matrix.org.

Everyone is now realizing that WhatsApp is evolving towards its latest form (archive.md/L3W74). If you value secure messaging, you may want to check out @signalapp or @matrix (wich is #federated). EPFL also has its own Matrix instance at matrix.epfl.ch (use @element as a client).

Well fuck. If a room in #Matrix is on Homeserver A, and an admin on Homeserver B runs /upgraderoom, then the room is moved to Homeserver B. It does not stay on Homeserver A.
I uhh... do not want the unofficial Slackware matrix server on my homeserver.
Edit: omfg sidegrading it does not move it back
EDIT EDIT: FINALLY
Does anyone know why Matrix doesn't notify you when a picture message is received? It's super annoying. 
And I say Matrix instead of naming a client because every single client refuses to notify for it so I imagine it's something in the spec.

The past few days I've been building a small tool for checking how many members of a given Matrix room support which maximum room version. The idea has been sparked by room version 12 being released, so that one can assess the adoption rate for the new room version and make an educated decision on when to upgrade rooms.
You can check it out here:

Apparently the latest #Matrix security vulnerability was so major, that the server implementers had to abide to an embargo before receiving details about it. I wonder how many #Matrix -related projects had to decline, due to e.g. their CI not being set up to build code not publicly on the main branch, and had to dash to implement the patch after the embargo was lifted. @The Matrix.org Foundation
I know punching down on Matrix is something people like to do here, but this was a good read about how difficult things are for them: lobste.rs/s/muk05v/reflections…
If you want to get a sense of what the Matrix network will be like once Matrix 2.0 is fully rolled out, get yourself ElementX, and try it with an account on the matrix.org homeserver. I haven't had a chance to really stress test it yet. But from what I've experienced so far, it's a *huge* improvement on Matrix 1.0.
EDIT 2: ElementX is the Matrix 2.0 version of Element. Despite the fact that it remains significantly incomplete, and may not meet all your needs 🤦♂️
We released version 0.12.1 of #nheko! This release includes a few security fixes around html escaping into the UI and properly attaching a mark of the web on Windows. I highly recommend you upgrade!
This release also takes the first steps to room version 12 compatibility regarding the upcoming #matrix security release.

Enjoy! :)

There's been a lot of negativity around #Matrix and #Element recently. And I (somewhat) joined in and expressed my frustration with it every now and then. Something I still appreciate around #Matrix is the fact, that they listen to (most of) the criticism and acknowledge (many of) their problems. There's a nice self-critical video addressing all of this recent criticism: youtube.com/watch?v=OyuqM7RbX5…

#nextcloud made it possible for me to (self-)host my (and my family's) phone calendars, contacts, and even when pictures are taken, they get uploaded to our Nextcloud instance, and NOT to google/apple.

Others include #searxng, has literally replaced all monolithic search engines, works great, no ads or AI
#mastodon, for my #activitypub based social network

Server side: @doncow, @nextcloud, some #Fediverse projects, #Matrix (Synapse) #Keycloak for SSO
Client side (Linux): #Evolution, #Libreoffice, #Librewolf
Mobile ( @GrapheneOS ): #FairEmail, #Firefox, some Fediverse clients, Matrix client

🆕 blog! “I'm never going back to Matrix”
I should love Matrix. It is a decentralised, privacy preserving, multi-platform chat tool. Goodbye Slack and your ridiculous free limits. Adiós Discord and your weird gamification. Suck it IRC with your obscure syntax and faint stench of BO. WhatsApp and Telegram can stick their heads in a bucket of lukewarm sick and sing sea …

Pre-disclosure: Upcoming coordinated security fix for all Matrix server implementations
Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communicationsMatthew Hodgson (matrix.org)
What frustrates me the most about #Matrix is that Vector clusterfucked the client situation themselves. Having a de facto default, "go-to" Matrix client with feature parity across all platforms was one of the biggest strengths. Now we have feature split between two official clients. And the one they promote these days is still an unfinished beta. 🤯 It is absolutely mindboggling how you can screw up this bad.
#Matrix spent a decade turning the problem of worrying about which extensions your server supports into worrying about which room version your server supports.
Meanwhile, the #XMPP community got their act together, reached a rough consensus on which extensions are worth pursuing, and now you can install any of the four major servers without having to worry about what extensions are working behind the scenes.

I’m looking for a team chat solution that allows me to *really* mute/block users, like here on Mastodon or with an `/ignore` on IRC.
Zulip and Discord don’t really mute/block messages, they only conceal their content and let you know they’re here. This doesn’t help much imho.
Is this kind of `/ignore` feature available in #Matrix or #DeltaChat?
Otherwise, are there Zulip/Discord clients that support it?
Nor Discord, which they seemed to be moving too before they got to live again. No community should be in the mercy of the welldoing of commercial companies like that, instead they should move to a decentralized platform like #matrix so they're not bound to any particular provider.
All these thoughts are unfortunately completely irrelevant. Whatever I think about #Telegram (or #Signal for that matter) doesn't matter when I don't know almost anybody using it. All my friends, family, and such are on #WhatsApp so that's it for me. I actually use a bridge (by #Element, paid for) from #Matrix, but without that I would either have to use their app or be that strange guy who communicates only via #SMS (as I was for many years).
I am becoming increasingly doubtful of #Telegram's background and direction. #WhatsApp is owned by #Meta and just announced that it will introduce ads. So, it looks like I'm left with #Signal and #Matrix. The former has better UX, but it's centralized and US-based. The latter is a bit clumsy but decentralized and EU-based. Neither is perfect, but they are the closest to it for me.

#ElementX nutze ich schon länger parallel zu #Element für meine Chats.
Nun habe ich aber das neue #SchildiChat Next ausprobiert.
Es basiert auch auf ElementX, hat aber #Spaces integriert. Das gefällt mir sehr gut. Damit lassen sich z.B. Chaträume übersichtlich ordnen.
#Matrix ist für mich nach wie vor ne gute Sache. Ich würde es auch WhatsApp-Wechslern eher empfehlen als #Signal ... vor allem auch, weil man sich damit nicht vom Smartphone abhängig macht.

@debacle that's about right! As to servers/relays: there are a lot of well working alternative stacks -- #chatmail core even runs with some #Plan9 mail server stack apart from the many classic email server implementations. Replacing Rust Core is possible but considerable work. Beating its maturity and cross-platform portability would require a serious effort. Not impossible, though. FWIW most other messenger projects (#Signal, #matrix, etc.) are trying to move towards Rust.
