you seem to be very knowledgeable and fair about all these, but I so want the answer to be #matrix cause it could also theoretically do all our messaging and video chat and even POTS eventually. I feel like if we want the less techy to embrace our world, it can't be just about switching apps yet again, but also must at least offer the possibility of eliminating the need for other apps. IDK.

So... for those that have been around for a long while.
Does anyone have any good tips for hosting an #xmpp or #irc relay? is #matrix dendrite what people use these days instead?

Als overheden t gebruiken, moet t ook wel geschikt zijn voor een gewone jongen.
Ook maar eens een knoop doorgehakt.
Matrix maar eens als backup bij Signal geïnstalleerd. Dat maakt WhatsApp makkelijker af te koppelen. Een tweede netwerk in stand houden is toch wel zo handig.
Bijkomend voordeel: er is geen telefoonnummer nodig, dus kan eigenlijk elk apparaat een eigen gebruiker.

Dann überwache mal Deinen #Matrix Server 4 Wochen lang und wundere Dich, warum Datenpakete an einen skandinavischen Cloudanbieter gehen. Und noch mal: Was der andere Matrixserver macht, hast DU nicht auf dem Schirm! Stasi 3.0 für Vollidioten!!!

Du bist auf #Mastodumm sehr gut aufgehoben....

Honestly, if we want people to use #Matrix we NEED better "default matrix application".
Yes, I'm talking to you @element
#Desktop app - log in to my instance, asked if I want to use recovery key, click the button and... Nothing. The button just doesn't work. Tried with #Flatpak, tried with tarball, tried on 3 different machines.
And #Element X on #Android... Just hangs and goes to "spinning hell" when trying to verify using emojis. On the device list shows as verified, but fails and crashes.

Dein #Matrix Homeserver und andere Matrix Homeserver speichern alles! Besser hätte die Stasi auch nicht arbeiten können!

And no, #matrix is not an alternative. the threat model it tries to guard against is fundamentally different, operating a server at any scale is ridiculously complex, it's missing major features that make Discord very useful, and ease of use is… `Unable to Decrypt Message`

That's why I just signed up for the Fediverse alternative to Discord: Matrix. It's at matrix.org.
I'm @Quasit:matrix.org over there. I don't know anyone there yet, so if anyone's interested in radical left politics, tabletop RPGs, parenting, cooking, books, science fiction, fantasy, humor, etc. please look me up!

Are there any good #matrix servers to join, at least to start out? Just curious for now.
