Whatever AP devs do, determined BadActors can easily circumvent blocks by going to the web page of your feed. What people looking for private discussion spaces need is something like #jabber#MUCs, or #Matrix rooms, or #Wire group chats, or #Crabgrass groups, or private Discourse instances, or any one of dozens of other free code tools that exist for private group discussions. But no, they demand we turn the fediverse into those to suit their use case. #EntitledAsFuck
♲ @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org: It's Friday, late afternoon, and the time has come again to read the latest #matrix news, so take a break and read This Week in Matrix! This week has news about THREE separate iOS clients, new location-bot and more! matrix.org/blog/2019/12/06/thi… #decentralisation #twim
Are you an #opensource enthusiast, possibly highly interested in #federated and #distributed systems? Would you like to work in a global environment pushing the openly governed #Matrix protocol and related open source software forward?
I've been with these people for almost a year now and I've not looked back one single day. Highly recommend checking out the positions if you're looking for a change.
Some of #Riot’s problems are baked into #Matrix as a whole. For example, addressing. Let’s say I set up #Synapse at matrix\.federati\.net. The “#members” room would be at #members:matrix.federati.net, correct? And my account would be @lnxw48a1:matrix.federati.net? I’m not even sure. Do their URLs start with “matrix:”? Or maybe “matrix://“?
And that’s the problem. They intentionally chose something so alien-looking that it confuses people.
I find #Riot really nice to use on #Android/Linux. It's a shame it's so ugly on GNU/Linux. Maybe something to do with fact it's a website wrapped in #Electron bloat? I'm really looking forward to a native #Matrix app for GNU/Linux, with a less eye-abusing GUI. Hopefully the work being done on apps for mobile GNU/Linux devices like the #Librem5 will also lead to more native app for the desktop.
There are reasons why I'm proud of my "home" setup:
1. It just works. 2. I know what I build, so I can fix it. 3. It's all a single login. 4. Maintenance is fully automated. 5. It federates in many ways and therefore doesn't limit, but enable me to share things.
What runs on my setup?
- #Keycloak for authentication - #Mastodon as microblog - #Nextcloud for storage - Synapse for #Matrix as chat - Postfix/dovecot/SOGo for email - #CodiMD for notes - And #GitLab to rule and maintain it.
Testing out @wheeliepad@twitter.com junior with @goatchurch@twitter.com! To do this we're using WebRTC video calling on Matrix via @RiotChat@twitter.com, all controlled via #mqtt + #micropython on an ESP32!

"A lot of the effort that's gone into Matrix has been on the client side, so this could be truly subversive - one second all the Riot users are happily using today's Matrix; they hit refresh, and find themselves running a local homeserver with decentralised accounts and have gone P2P without realising it :D (It's kinda the opposite of what happened to Skype).' - #MatthewHodgson on recent experiments with #P2P#Matrix https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/da219t/im_project_lead_for_matrixorg_the_open_protocol/f1p0164/
