@strypey Between November and February. Some change required us all to reconnect as contacts. Reconnecting never completed, so communication over #Ring was no longer possible. . Currently using #Wire and #Matrix instead.
@david_ross the #NextCloudTalk announcement mentioned they intend to build in bridges to #XMPP (and maybe #Matrix) in future releases, so maybe being able to join #WebRTC chats from a desktop client is on the horizon
What do you fedizens think of the recent privacy policy changes made by #matrix.org? My #riot client tells me that I have to agree with them to continue using it. Did you find anything objectionable there? I read it, but just want to ask around a bit.
#Matrix app #Riot getting an overhaul. Captain obvious: "The current Riot interface felt too busy — there is a fair amount of cognitive load for a new users to understand what everything in the UI is and how to navigate around"
Alright then, there is no way around, if no wonder happens, the #tchncs :tchncs: #matrix :matrix: server will shutdown at the end of next month. if you are using this server, please consider moving.
As matrix is a very exception in its hardwareneeds, don't worry, there is no further tchncs service in danger. I wrote this in a longer message here: https://chat.tchncs.de/#/room/#tchncs:tchncs.de
They're talking about[0] splitting #Fractal into a Messenger app and a Discussions app. I think having different user experiences for those two use cases makes a lot of sense, but I don't know that it requires splitting it into two apps. But maybe it would make it easier to accommodate the changes necessary.
@drbjork If you value, Free Software, decentral, independent, federated, then #XMPP and #Matrix are probably the best options. Although I would give XMPP more points in the category "independent". #Briar might be interesting in the future as well.
Positives: For 1:1 chats, it is vastly superior to #Matrix. I believe E2E encrypted by default.
Negatives: Contact list management is still not good, and the promised #federation has not yet appeared. I eventually want to !selfhost my communications infrastructure, or at least anything that isn't #P2P.
while #telegram is down (at least for some) take this as an oportunity to reflect: - do you rely on a centralized service - telegram runs on proprietary software - it can't federate and creates by that something known as 'walled gargen' - there are great alternatives you might like
Government of France: Matrix / Riot confirmed as the basis for upcoming official secure messenger.
"France has confirmed it is in the process of deploying a huge private federation of Matrix homeservers spanning the whole government, and developing a fork of Riot.im for use as their official secure communications client!
The goal is to replace usage of WhatsApp or Telegram for official purposes."
Mmm, hay #xmpp y hay #matrix y hay #irc y hay... bueno, la mayoría conoce la lista. #telegram es igual (quizá peor) de mala que wasap, feisbuc y esas otras... ¿por qué nadie ataca a feis&cia? si tengo que explicar el chiste, pierde la gracia... #losiento #loteniaquedecir
