@grainloom I haven't used it but i have plans on looking into it tonight and adding it to my self hosted apps

@grainloom i literally was -just- informed of this, but maybe riot.im is up your alley for this task?

Immediately sold! Bridge the gap between the sprawl of walled gardens and centralize in your decentralized space?

#YASSSSSSS

Heard a bunch of people mention #matrix today for their preferred chat client. I guess I'll have to take a look and see what its all about, if its coming form the fine folks here in Mastodon, its clearly made of good intentions. We'll see if it lives up to the suggestions :)

@Howl I hear you! i'm on TG as well. I have a discord that I idle on but i'm also considering shutting it down because i'm not really using it.

Its great that they have a linux client but at the end of the day its just another walled garden :(

You're clearly in the self hosted camp hosting your own mail server <3 i have mad respect for that. I stopped doing that back in 2004'ish because it was a maintenance burden.

@bob I'm sure you're right about this. mastodon.social's semi-marketing push really helped to bring more headcount into the fediverse.

The question is, can we keep them based on the merits of the platform or will they abandon us because the central nucleus of users are in walled gardens?

Slack is doing this to IRC as we speak, usercount is down at an all time low because everyone made the leap to walled gardens :(

@bob I never really fell into the identi.ca crowd despite being super interested. I don't think the platform had matured enough at that point but this is also speaking from the ignorance of non-use.

had I stuck with it, I may have had a better experience.

@Nezchan Thats deep!

@bob Thats a great analysis. You're right, the character limit for one helps with that, and I think the "early adopters" that aren't bots or shitposters lend to this experience.

@kemonine Wait till they get a load of our hieroglyphics (eg: emoji)

@Martin03 I suppose thats one way to look at it. Not precisely an answer I was looking for but I'll roll with it.

What about decentralization wastes your time?

@zigg @kemonine #disclaimer i have no idea about the actual chemical states of DT, and I didn't bother to wikipedia first.
