I added livekit and lk-jwt-service to my #matrix homeserver so I can initiate calls and conferences.
Element X audio/video calling pretty much feels like Face Time. Better than Signal calls.
[matrix] Tokyo 🇯🇵 pop-up meeting
Sat 17 Jan 2026 @19:00 JST
In Tokyo Ginza East
Follow the Room: #matrix-popup-tokyo:pwl.social for details.
Hi there, Global Digital People in 🇯🇵
It is an experiment and we will make it happen!
The "Matrix Stammtisch", now available with its pop-up version.
We're looking forward to seeing you soon. No registration needed. Just pop by.

Just wanted to install an #XMPP client to create an account to test something. I moved away to #Matrix years ago because I had no hope anymore for #XMPP, but now that I wanted to create an account, I am just shocked at how dead it is: #Fedora still has Gajim 1.7.3, when the last release is 2.4.1. #pkgsrc is a bit but noch much better with 2.1.1. #Tkabber is even worse: pkgsrc has 0.11.1, when 1.1.2 is the latest release that was released in 2015(!). It seems distributions keep XMPP clients around, but don’t update them because nobody is using them anymore. I had not expected for XMPP to be that dead. That’s shocking.
I also think if distributions cannot be bothered to update a package in over 10 years, they should just remove it…
There seem to be two kinds of people. Those where #matrix mostly just works and those who run into all kinds of issues and complain 24/7 about how awful everything is.
I wonder why I'm in the first group. Seriously, what am I doing different?
#Signal a deux défauts, et ils sont politiques :
- Il est étasunien;
- Il est centralisé.
C'est là où #Deltachat pourrait sortir son épingle du jeu. Je songe à y migrer. En attendant, je suis sur Signal depuis cinq ans et j'y reste; c'est déjà difficile de convaincre mon entourage…
Je pense que #Matrix, bien qu'ultra-sécurisé, est trop complexe pour ma mère; il restera sous-utilisé, à moins qu'on ne trouve une façon de l'encapsuler dans quelque chose de plus simple.
Suis-je seul à penser ça?
Show me the actively developed alternative server implementations and show me the clients that don't depend on the Matrix SDK.
Element might work fine for end users but when it comes to vendor independence #Matrix is a joke.

Ich habe den Eindruck, dass Matrix weitaus problemloser läuft als XMPP.
Bei XMPP kann sich nicht jeder Client an jedem Server anmelden (ich habe diverse Clients und Server, nicht nur meinen eigenen mit ejabberd, getestet). Und auch die Kommunikation zwischen zwei Accounts funktioniert manchmal gar nicht, manchmal nur in eine Richtung und irgendwie nur selten problemlos. Auch da wieder stark abhängig vom Client.
Ein Problem mit meinem Server mag sein, dass er unter einer Subdomain (xmpp.example.com) läuft. Ich mutmaße, dass nicht jeder Server bzw. Client damit zurechtkommt. Zwischen meinem Server und dem von Mailbox.org klappt jedenfalls gar nichts. Aber ich habe noch nicht einmal eine Möglichkeit gefunden, für Mailbox.org einen andeten Client als deren Web-Client zu verwenden. Ich glaube fast, die sind nur zu sich selbst kompatibel.
Manche sagen freilich auch, dass ejabberd recht eigenwillig sei.
Mit Matrix hingegen hatte ich bisher keine Probleme (auch da habe ich einen eigenen Server am Start).
"At the heart of Matrix protocol, you have a kind of merging algorithm that reminds a bit of Google Wave. It means that a conversation is conceptually represented as a sort document you constantly merge on the server. This is a consuming process that is happening on the server for each message received in all conversations. That’s why Matrix has the reputation to be so difficult to scale."

#XMPP is still a thriving ecosystem with lots of good FOSS developers doing interesting things.
XMPP is also used under the hood in tons of products needing instant messaging even if they are not advertised as XMPP clients, or do not federate.
Anyway, XMPP and #matrix all share a strong focus on protocols, but there is a big difference: chatmail.at does not expose protocols to client developers, just a Rust SDK.
Chatmail
Chatmail provides FOSS infrastructure for interoperable, secure, speedy and reliable end-to-end encrypted messaging. Check out clients as Arcane Chat, Bots or Delta Chat today!chatmail.at
The idea of Matrix as a chat service is nice. But the fact that it keeps going out of sync, and I keep losing messages from other people is just plain annoying. This is worse than IRC net split (at least there was a message when it happened).
#Matrix #MatrixChat #ElementX #IRC
P.S. What I boosted: @somegregariousdude posted that he will delete his #Matrix account and all links to it. Our shared experience is that there is no accessible client out there. So whenever you offer to "Ditch slack for Matrix", think once more.
@kbruen well I guess that is a matter of opinion? because this other person is saying totally the opposite:
mastodont.cat/@spla/1156953525…
and besides that, setup is something you do only once, the real struggle comes next, I have never self-hosted matrix but see people complaining or even de-federating due to server burden, while I do host a #chatmail server with +8k users in a 5eur VPS using 1.2gb of ram and 19gb of disk, now try the same with #matrix
I am total noob self-hoster btw

He provat tres programaris de #MissatgeriaInstantània, tant com administrador com usuari. El meu resum. - #Matrix, servidor complexe d'instal·lar i configurar, molt lent federant sales. Menja força recursos de màquina.mastodont.cat, cultura catalana.
Nexus Client
Hi, around two weeks ago I started making Nexus, a Matrix client.
In these two weeks, I've made great progress, as you can see in the progress list.
However, I'd love some help implementing some features, or help with UI design, as it takes me quite a while to design a UI.
If you're interested, please reply!
Boosts appreciated! ❤️

My vps 1cpu stopped running reliably, thanks to #matrix using huge amounts of disk
Setting up #xmpp with a reverse proxy is undocumented.
#Deltachat server hosting script doesn’t work with the latest python
I’m really struggling for #selfhosted chat options.

Hey, did you know that you can join Matrix chatrooms using Movim and #matridge (a Slidge XMPP - Matrix bridge) ? 😮
You can then access your Matrix rooms (and soon Matrix servers 😚) and integrate them seamlessly in your Movim interface ✨
…and it seems that Movim is much faster than Element at accessing and displaying the content of Matrix chat rooms 🚀 Fun 😸

Tech people talk about tech too much.
I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to.
And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers.
It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense.
For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry.
I am so lost, every single time.
I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does.
I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps.
My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things. (examples in thread)
Countering toxicity and fake takes is not just a technical question (moderation, admins etc) but one of social curation both collectively and privately: which people and groups do you/we trust for what. No tool can automate that.
#deltachat is for private e2ee messaging and mutually curated group chats, and not random social media propelled onboarding. We are with #Signal here and not with #simplex and #matrix who offer public anonymous discovery of large chat groups with lots of unknown folks.

TIL that the president of Signal believes that people who run Mastodon and/or Matrix servers do so "in most cases" on hyperscaler* infrastructure.
This is my Mastodon server. And its UPS. And its networked KVM for when things get really hairy.
It's also my Matrix server. And Nextcloud. And Git. And Home-Assistant. And Jellyfin. And SearXNG. And Peertube.
When people objected to her claims, she doubled down and proclaimed condescendingly that we "don't have a clear understanding of this space".
TIL that I don't feel confident in recommending people to use Signal. Something's very off here.
*) "hyperscaler" basically means the big cloud infra providers with provisioning APIs that allow you to scale your resources up/down automatically with usage
#Signal #Mastodon #Matrix #SelfHosting
"there's no realistic alternative to AWS and the other hyperscalers." (for signal)
except federation. -> #matrix
