By design, end-to-end-encrypting #deltachat and #webxdc apps only need ephemeral transport. It's a big deal. Let's compare:
- #matrix home servers maintain a cryptographic forever-chain of cleartext social-graph metadata.
- #WhatsApp servers maintain cleartext metadata visible to Meta.
- #Signal keeps encrypted metadata, hosted at GAFAM
#chatmail relays do not persist any social graph state, also not in encrypted form. A key goal of our designs: chatmail operators can sleep well at night :)
"Kid's Story" is the best part of the Animatrix, fight me.
A buddy of mine has a small startup. He was looking at Slack and Zoom, both of which are per-user per-month pricing. It’s obnoxious. All we need is voice, video, and screen share. I’m doing to #selfhost something for him.
I’ve used #mattermost. I could easily set up another for him. I’ve heard good things about #Matrix but I have never set it up. He’s on Windows PC and Android phone. I’m on a Debian laptop and iPhone. So whatever I do has to cover both.
Any suggestions? Anything I haven’t thought of?

**Cinny just got better!**
We’ve made some great improvements:
**Smarter invites** – Now filter invites into Primary, Public, and Spam. 
**Fewer crashes** – Fixed issues with blurhashes & room settings. 
**New commands** – `/delete` and `/acl` for better moderation. 
**Encryption upgrades** – Improved key backup reliability.

Come join me on a journey trying to join a #Matrix room like a non-techie.
The room I'd like to join is the channel for a small-ish hacker event near Frankfurt. Its (published¹) address is #seezeit:ccc-ffm.de, and they link to it from their website using a hyperlink pointing to https://matrix.to/#/#seezeit:ccc-ffm.de
Yes, this is going to be about the matrix.to flow.
Let me start with a disclaimer: The SeeZeit people did nothing wrong, this is all just Matrix UX in all its glory.

Inviting the #Fediverse to join another #Jabber / #XMPP channel I co-moderate - the #BlackLivesMatter channel! Another initiative by the wonderful @maskedwitch
You can join without a client or an account! Just visit - https://chat.queer-spark.org/#/guest?join=blm@conference.queer-spark.org
But for the best experience, I recommend using a proper client. The easiest way is to install Quicksy or Prāv, if you don’t mind using your phone number. Alternatively, install one or more of the following, and use them to register an account on conversations.im (see https://providers.xmpp.net or https://compliance.conversations.im/old for more server recommendations) -
…when you’re set up, open this link to join the channel! https://invite.joinjabber.org/#blm@conference.queer-spark.org?join
If you’re new to XMPP (e.g. coming from #WhatsApp #Matrix #IRC #Signal #Telegram #Discord etc), this guide has everything you need to get started - https://contrapunctus.codeberg.page/the-quick-and-easy-guide-to-xmpp.html

Continuer à recevoir des notifications push sur smartphone dégooglisé
https://friendica.mesnumeriques.fr/display/3a8d2dbf-1468-2ede-7256-9a5773372732
Vous avez dégooglisé votre smartphone et utilisez des alternatives aux applis #meta (par exemple) ? Vous aurez sans doute besoin d'une passerelle compatible #unifiedpush pour "pousser" vos notifications, qui habituellement passent par les services Google. C'est le cas par exemple pour le client #matrix #schildichat ou le client #tusky qui lorsque qu'ils ne sont pas connectés à un serveur push sont obligés de consulter à intervalles régulières l'arrivée de nouveaux messages ou d'évènements pour vous notifier. Grâce à l'appli #ntfy https://f-droid.org/fr/packages/io.heckel.ntfy/ et à un serveur push (https://ntfy.sh par défaut) vos applis recevront des notifications comme elles le faisaient avec Google mais via un serveur push de votre choix (que vous pouvez d'ailleurs héberger).
my main issue with #matrix is that every time i have ever deployed a homeserver, it has inevitably wound up dying on me
With immediate effect I deprecated #Matrix, because the fact that people can #spam invitations containing illegal text and images (which the clients currently LOAD BY DEFAULT) is a problem I have absolutely no desire to deal with. And there is literally no way to handle this (I've seen https://matrix.org/blog/2025/04/introducing-policy-servers/ but I don't expect it to be merged before years, this issue has been known since 2015). Honestly I'm sick of it, because I can't even be in a public group (proxmox, element) as attackers just do userlist dumps and attack everyone
Here are just a few things #Matrix has accomplished recently:
Intro'd account suspension, an action that is reversible such that it can be safely done automatically.
Intro'd policy servers, which address spam and abuse upstream of the client, making an increasing share of abuse *invisible* to users.
Improved reporting mechanisms, making it easier for people to report users and rooms.
Intro'd more curation and industry best practices to avoid facilitating illegal and abusive behavior.
I mean, what good is decentralized tech if only techies use them to talk about techy things? Might as well not even exist. Adoption of technologies like Mastodon, Flohmarkt, and Matrix needs to increase DRASTICALLY.
Edit: Oh, and Peertube. That YT channel could have been a PT channel. #peertube
Woke up to 25 spam invites on #Matrix from chat.svenbrier.eu users.
Admins maybe want to block that.

loved hearing about the experimentation, people coming together and the pushback on the company.
when people talk about community on the #SocialWeb, I get a bit confused. imo these protocols are about social media. attention. public by default. if we want more closed spaces, hopefully we can use a single ID but imo a different tech is necessary. maybe #matrix. and I think talking about it this way leads to conflicts over moderation.
