@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.

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.

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 
Els mètodes amb ✅ funcionen perfectament. Encara no he provat el que llista els usuaris.
Ja he alliberat el projecte sencer:
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.

Today in #MatrixRooms: Searching #Matrix rooms from multiple places, just like with #SepiaSearch or #LemmyVerse.
Detailed instructions can be found in the alt text. In short, for #Element and #SchildiChat Web/Desktop user:
0. Open search in Element (Ctrl+K)
1. In the "Show" dropdown menu, press "Add new server...". Type matrixrooms.info and proceed.
2. Pick newly added rooms directory.
More on how to make this work in mobile apps, let all users of your instance benefit from this rooms directory or set this up as a search engine on your very own #SearXNG:

@lil5 Thanks for reaching out, and sorry your email didn't get a response. Our web team operates through issues, PRs, and discussion in #matrix-web:matrix.org.
Would you be willing to open an issue on the repository? That way nothing gets lost in translation and folks can ask follow up questions as needed.
We can open the issue for you, it just might take longer for the team to process.
We are bowled over by your support! We're up to 162 Individual Members, 114 of which are new, and we've doubled the number of organizational members 🥳
This is encouraging, though we still have a long way to go to fill the gap in our budget.
If you believe in open source, open standards, privacy, and decentralization: this is your call to action.

The further #Matrix goes the more obvious it becomes we should've stuck to #XMPP. The developer time wasted on Matrix is immense, imagine if that effort would've been stuck into making a nice XMPP server implementation that plays well with #Docker or #Kubernetes, with all the basic features people desire baked in by default. They would've had time to spare on a nice client if they felt this was needed to make a nice complete package to market.
I wish that #Matrix (and #Synapse) were better designed.
It has become among the most popular open messaging protocols, but it remains a scalability nightmare.
It's literally the Blockchain of messaging. Its current state is given by the sum of the whole chain of events received since t=0. It's a brittle append-only ledger, and any modifications you do to it are very likely to break it.
Do you have a huge 100GB database and you want to clean up old stuff? Sorry, you can't. There are some non-official solutions for compacting the events, but they're all likely to break your db - and none worked so far in my case.
Do you have users on your instance that entered a busy room on matrix.org? Then you'll get all the join/leave events of that busy room on your db, with no way of deleting them, and nothing to do unless your users exit those rooms.
Did you start your instance by toying with the default SQLite backend, and now that it's become big you want to move to Postgres? Sorry, no official guides provided, only unofficial procedures scattered across a bunch of blogs.
Do you want to change the name of your server? Sorry, you can't. All the events are tightly coupled to your server name. The advised solution is to simply start a new instance.
Do you want to keep the same server name but spin off a new instance? Sorry, you can't, because your server name, your keys and the events sent to other servers are all tightly coupled, so your new instance may not be able to reliably exchange messages with servers that were federated to your previous one.
Do you want to migrate your account and conversations to a new server, or even just get a backup of your data? Well, you can just forget it, because there's no way of disentangling the thick mesh of events and moving it somewhere else.
Such a rigid and brittle implementation shouldn't have become an open de facto standard without much questioning about its poor design decisions.
At the very least, some official tools must be provided to enable admins to compact events. If the size of the database is guaranteed to increase indefinitely, then entry barriers against self-hosting are only going to increase.
