Reasons why Matrix can be better for diversity than closed platforms:

* Wide variety of implementations
* Public accountability
* Low cost

Our openness makes us stronger!

🐈‍⬛ Tenor GIF
✨ RSS
🗂️ Message room folders
☕️ Customizable reaction emojis
⌚️Upcoming WatchOS, MacOS, VisionOS app

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

Habe mich oft gefragt, warum etwa Terroristen „feige“ genannt werden. Nun weiß ich: Weil Feigheit vor der Wahrheit zum feindseligen Dualismus führt! #Feigheit #Dualismus #Cypher #Matrix scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-…


The conversation with @josh and @matthew about @matrix on @FLOSS_Weekly was fascinating and for once I would have enjoyed more than an hour. Matthew's frustration with trying to explain to legislators why #ChatControl and #OnlineSafetyBill are so misguided was especially striking - I do hope @EUCommission listen.

Hey, look! Our Flathub build is out now as well! flathub.org/apps/im.nheko.Nhek…
Now I just need to adapt the old app to eol-rebase to the new one...

#nheko #matrix


How long does it take to forget, that you are supposed to post to the fediverse, when you did a release? Well, about a year I guess. Anyway, #Nheko 0.12.0 is out now! Took us a while (and there seem to be 800 commits in that release?!?), but our Qt6 port is finally out and with it exciting features like automatically deleting messages, ignoring users, intentional mentions and much, much more. Tbh, I forgot half the things we added and am always surprised that wasn't in 0.11.3 yet!

Anyway, grab the latest version of this #Matrix client here: github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko/…
Or don't, I can't tell you what to do! But if you read so far, it surely is worth giving it a try, right? :D


Here's my WIP #Matrix-#Revolt bridge that I've been working on for the past month:
codeberg.org/austinhuang/matri…

Still needs some polishing (permission checks and error handling, plus documentation). After that I'll set it up in prod create a room for public general testing.

#TypeScript


...and it's now in testing! Try out the #Matrix-#Revolt bridge today:

Think more people should know about the Matrix Ham Radio community!

Mike, M0AWS who runs the #matrix space has a nice info dump at: m0aws.co.uk/matrix/

There are rooms for #hf, #vhf, #uhf, #qo100, #satellites and #meshtastic amongst a bunch of others.


The votes have been counted! Introducing the first elected Governing Board of the Matrix.org Foundation 🎉

Thanks to everyone who ran and everyone who voted, and congratulations to those who have been elected!

This is a huge milestone for Matrix, and now we can tackle the challenges we face with greater community involvement: matrix.org/blog/2024/06/electi…

#Matrix #OpenSource #FOSS #OpenGovernance


Last call for votes in our Governing Board elections! 🗳

A lot of people worked hard to advocate for and implement more open governance for the Matrix ecosystem – don't let your ballot go unused.

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!)

#matrix #tech


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


Voting has started for the Governing Board elections and runs till May 31 – but don't delay, vote today! 🗳

All eligible voters should have received an email from the election system. Results will be published on our blog on June 3rd.

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

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.

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

Read more about the problem and some initiatives that are responding to it:

matrix.org/blog/2024/04/open-s…

#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.
