Special thanks to the Matrix.org Foundation @matrix for developing the #Matrix protocol and @element for the Element software suite!

La Contre-Voie lance un nouveau service de messagerie instantanée, qui incorpore également une plateforme de visioconférence ! 🎉
Basé sur le logiciel Element, développé par la fondation #Matrix, ce service constitue une alternative à Microsoft Teams ou Slack ✨

Beeindruckend finde ich den lebendigen und vielfältigen Austausch in den #Matrix Räumen von @librechurch@kirche.social auf synod.im
Von Fragen und Ideen zu digital souveränen Tools, die auf dem Marktplatz diskutiert werden bis zu Erfahrungen und Herausforderungen immer kleiner werdender christlicher Gemeinden im Raum Glauben teilen.
Anyone using #Tammy as a #Matrix messenger client?
What do you think about it? Why do you use it? How much do you use it? On which device type is it installed? What features do you miss?
You're invited to talk on Matrix. If you don't already have a client this link will help you pick one, and join the conversation. If you already have one, this link will help you join the conversationmatrix.to
I would not underestimate the value of having a go-to home server free of charge for people new to #matrix. In the end, it is the members of the foundation to decide whether they agree with the use of the budget they contribute. Are you also a member?

Regarding the more general accusation on #Matrix being just another VC-backed one-company-product, I'd like to refer to another recent post from the foundation, and only quote from its final paragraph:
> … triggered some defensive reaction with other European players in the market. It is a shame that small European players feel the need to fight one another rather than collaborate via open source software against the bigger non-European and proprietary players.

Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communicationsRobin Riley (matrix.org)
The Matrix Foundation now has some volunteer working groups, and a formal process for creating new ones;
matrix.org/foundation/working-…
For example, there's a WG for documenting moderation issues; reducing spam, easier handling of trolls, griefers and grifters.
If you're keen to get involved in keeping the Matrix protocol network fully decentralised, surveillance-free, and non-corporate, this could be a good way.
@matrix Is there a place the Matrix community can discuss protocol-level issues that isn't GritHub? If not, it really is about time to set one up. Lemmy and PieFed are options for an official threadiverse instance, and both Discourse and NodeBB now have some level of ActivityPub support.
This could even be an opportunity to dogfood adding Matrix protocol support to a forum package.
#TIL that Mattermost is now offering its own bridge to Matrix, which depends on a Synapse instance running alongside the MM server;
mattermost.com/marketplace/mat…
This is what RocketChat were doing since about 2022. Although their documentation suggests they are working on full Matrix support inside the RC server itself, due sometime this month;
Woah! Only now did we discover a great blog post from @wq who discusses the progression from hosting a #Matrix , a #Snikket and a #SimpleX server, to now running a #chatmail relay runtimeterror.dev/self-hosted-…
It's an excellent read, with lots of good advise, including having a public "hello" profile and another unpublished chat profile for private chatting. #deltachat apps have pervasive multi-profile support (and multi-device support) so it's pretty easy to establish such a two-profile setup.
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:

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.
You can find the release here: github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko/…
Enjoy! :)

Just in time for the security release, the first version of the "Room Upgrades" guide on matrix.org is published!
@HarHarLinks and I spent the last few hours at #why2025 finalizing it.

#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
