anyone here using or has recently used #matrix ?
I'm trying to see what the current state of the whole thing is (both the protocol and element) because my last experience with matrix is back when element was still called riot and I had several things that brushed me off hard from usability and UI.
For short: I'm looking to migrate a small community (~30 people) centered around a minecraft server I host off of discord and have it as one of my options (the others are XMPP, and a self-hosted mumble server), most of the people on it aren't incredibly technical so I would like things to be simple (when I last used matrix it was nowhere near that close) have things improved at all or is it still a broken IRC alternative that delivers messages some of the time?
the matrix server zould only really serve 2 main purposes:
- be a way for people to request whitelist access.
- allow for offline communication.strictly speaking voice chat is not needed, people run a mod for in-game voice chat; but it would be a nice bonus given some people do play on bedrock.

Pourquoi j’ai choisi d’offrir le service XMPP plutôt que Matrix (article en anglais).
D’autres avis ?

Contactez-moi si un compte XMPP vous intéresse.

I've tried #Matrix and #Stoat (formerly Revolt) before and wasn't impressed with either of them. Matrix has so many issues regarding encryption, it's a headache (the bridges are cool though), and Stoat is still pretty much a beta product, self-hosting it is painful, because of the clients needing to be recompiled to change "homeservers".

Techie question..
I'm currently on #matrix and have been for a couple of years. I see people talk about #xmpp. Could some one give me a quick rundown of how they compare.
boosts appreciated
I'm interested in comparinsons relating to:
app and platform support
self hosting support
ability to pay someone for hosting
encryption level
general usability for "non techie" family and friends
community/political drama
comunication types supported (text/voip/sending files, and so on)

#elementx è l'app giusta per #matrix

While platforms like #Matrix or #Signal manage user identities on a server, #DeltaChat and #Chatmail are not platforms in the classic sense. They operate without a central registry, meaning there is no central gatekeeper to grant or deny access. This setup for private messaging naturally complicates invasive age verification. Without a public registry or user discovery, there is no technical hook to verify users. #Chatmail also enforces E2EE by rejecting all unencrypted data. ... (1/3)

What the heck is wrong with 
#matrix? We're looking for a platform for communication during a larger measurement campaign and from the featureset concluded with either #Mattermost or Matrix (subgroups, archivable, mobile/desktop/web clients, etc.).
But the #ElementX app and #FluffyChat app just won't even list the rooms in our space (on matrix.org, maybe that's the problem...), they just load forever. No problem in element web or #Schildichat. What. the. heck.

😡 Unhappy about the new ID requirement for #Discord? Keep your privacy and host your own #Matrix server on Opalstack instead! 🥳

I'm noticing that #Zulip looks to be kind of #Discord shaped, but all anyone seems to be talking about as a Discord replacement is #Matrix.
Given that Matrix has its own issues, is there a problem (either technical or political) with Zulip that I am not aware of?

I could like to thank discord for giving the best ad that #matrix could ever get
