#matrix

Ich habe immer noch keine vernünftige Lösung bzgl. #selfhosting #messaging

#XMPP schien damals gut, ist aber scheinbar nahezu tot. #Matrix geht auch in eine Richtung, die mir nicht gefällt, und ist mir zu komplex für meinen Usecase.

Vermutlich ist #Deltachat noch am nächsten dran, auch wenn mir der Webclient abgeht. Dafür ist es simpel und braucht als Infrastruktur ohnehin nur den vorhandenen Mailserver.

Alternativ Signal? Nervt aber ebenfalls weil es die Historie nur lokal hält und das Backup auf dem Device liegt und auch keinen Webclient bietet... alles nicht so einfach.

A shoutout to the amazing :pub_solar: pub.solar community, who run several digital services, including #Nextcloud, #Forgejo, #Matrix and #Mastodon.

pub.solar/

The community is very friendly and the server is running just fine 🧑‍💻

You can also set up your own website under yourname.lunar.page by easily creating a git repository on the forgejo server 🌖

pub.solarpub.solarYou should have control of your data! We host Matrix, Nextcloud, and Mastodon for you to use.

#Mastodon doesn't have #e2ee #Matrix doesn't have #metadata privacy or #QuantumResistantEncryption and #Signal is centralised with single points of failure that can be corrupted subpoenad and seized by state actors. I daily drive #simplex simplex.chat bc it has e2ee, metadata privacy, quantum resistant encryption and also has the best anonymity and profile separation tools I've ever seen all while being #foss and #decentralised I know of no other messenger that can boast all this

simplex.chatSimpleX Chat - Contact

If #beeeper messaging app did two things I’d use it immediately…

1. Easily enable “send later” in connected Signal iOS accounts

2. Be a better #matrix client than all the others.

Jury still out. Trying both use cases out.

* stretch goal (be better Ux for slack if possible

💬 Giving Up on Element & Matrix.org

「 Development feels directionless, client and server projects are fragmented, and the user experience still lags far behind my expectations. A recent incident that essentially broke my own community channel on the Matrix.org homeserver was the final straw: I’m heading back to XMPP 」

マリウス · Giving Up on Element & Matrix.orgThe Matrix.org network has great potential, but after years of dealing with glitches, slow performance, poor UX, and one too many failures, I’m done with it.

@stereo da sind wir anderer Meinung, das #signal und #whatsapp das gleiche sind. Vorschlag mit #matrix ist voll ok, ich hatte ja geschrieben „bevorzugt Signal“, das gibt Raum. Allerdings halte ich die Erfolgschancen für #matrix in dem Kontext für nahe Null. Sowohl bei Familie (=persönlich bekannt) als auch Elternabend (=noch unbekannt, aber ich kenne mein Viertel). Hauptziel ist weg von WhatsApp und BESSER als WhatsApp (also kein Telegram)

Hmm - as a frequent advocate for #Matrix and #Element, this is food for thought: マリウス.com/giving-up-on-element- Sigh. Seems that very few things in the world are as good as they seem, and many things are far less good (especially things built & run by corporations).

I tried Matrix several times in these years but I often felt the same. I didn't know anything about the company behind it, and now I understand how they built that "appealing" (but pretty confusing) UI.

#Matrix is doing just great.

  • Maintainers of alternative server implementations are discontinuing their projects (see Conduwuit and Harmony)

  • Dendrite was meant to replace heavy Synapse, but now it's in maintenance mode

  • No one is interested in fixing fundamental protocol bugs (see "State split", "Room state backfill" overloading the federation)

  • But interested in breaking existing clients by deploying "Authenticated media" on Matrix.org

  • It's de-facto owned by Element, a commercial structure that does exclusively what makes a profit, not what allows Matrix to evolve and prosper, so Matrix.org had to be turned into a freemium service (see "matrix is cooked" [fedi])

  • Still no client implementations are usable. And fuck Electron plus other web-based solutions

@larsmb @oliof Für die nicht technikaffine Bekanntschaft gibt es übrigens inzwischen beeper.com
Ist der einzige #Matrix Client, den ich für solche Zwecke kenne. Keine Serverwahl, kein Hickhack, einfach ein Onboarding, mit dem selbst Leute auf Bluesky zurecht kämen. Aber wiederum mit dem Makel, dass man an keiner Stelle darauf hinweist, dass die Integration der Messenger-Konten die E2EE bricht.
