I ignore them completely.
My Matrix use is basically an instance just for family members. Occasionally I'll venture out to the support page to some FOSS project or game. It's rare enough though that I don't really feel like I'm in enough Matrix rooms to warrant any real value from spaces.
Weekly Recap https://etke.cc/news/2026-04-16-weekly-recap/
Cloudflare is big enough to have the reporting infrastructure in place and swiftly take down things, because criminals (CSAM etc) share stuff and then vanish fast.
But afaiu, Matrix is a protocol that has no real mechanism for content moderation, due to its distributed state machine.
So there’s gonna be a reckoning …
Looks like Element is gonna find out about hosting of illegal content on your servers the hard way.
I’m afraid a lot of instance admins are gonna find out, too, once someone starts automating reporting.

Can we talk about digital resilience, fediverse?

Die "digitale Souveränität" und die Messenger in der #EU.
Langsam, ganz langsam erkennt man in der #EU die Sicherheit hat was mit den eigenen Leistungen zu tun. 😔
"Auch die NATO und die Bundeswehr schwören mit Matrix bereits auf einen angepassten, quasi hauseigenen Dienst. Die EU-Kommission plant, den Umstieg auf eine von ihr kontrollierbare Alternative bis zum Ende des Jahres zu vollziehen. Erst jüngst untersagte die Kommission einigen ihrer Top-Beamten, Signal-Gruppenchats zu nutzen. Zuvor waren Schwachstellen in einem Management-System für Mobilgeräte bekannt geworden."
Ein #Matrix-Protokoll basierte Dienst kann recht sicher sein, so man auch den Verbindungsaufbau und die Basis-Sicherheit mit berücksichtigt.
#Signal hat in Verbindung mit Apple ein Problem das aus meiner Sicht nicht hätte sein müsste (die default-Einstellung ist unsicher). 🙈
Dezentral und gut abgesichert können Geheimnisse recht sicher kommuniziert werden. Technisch ist das kein Hexenwerk.
Die Steilvorlage:
"Ereignisse wie US-Sanktionen gegen internationale Institutionen oder massive Ausfälle bei US-Cloud-Anbietern haben die Verwundbarkeit Europas offengelegt."
Die Traumtänzer in der #EU haben mit Schmerzen lernen müssen, die Sicherheit durch ferne Dritte gibt es nicht. Ob #Cloud, #KI oder Messenger, nur wer auf eigenen Beinen steht kann Geheimnisse bewahren. 🙂
Fragen Sie immer einen erfahrenen Spezialisten oder guten #MSP wie man sicher kommunizieren kann. 😊

@hweimer I have seen several complaints like yours over the last few weeks. At the same time, several governments (France, Germany, Belgium, EU Commission) have chosen #Matrix for their own internal communications apps, so I'm assuming it can't be *that* bad?
The overlords of so called #AI will never allow #UBI to replace wages when their creation destroys the jobs and lives of billions of people.
Its not just because they are greedy, #HyperCapitalist motherfuckers who want to keep all the #money for themselves. What are they saving all that #cash for anyway? #Hell?
I think its actually because these motherfuckers truly believe that #TheRaptureOfTheNerds will allow them to merge their minds with their machines and transcend onto a higher plane of existence becoming #immortal silicon based beings living as gods in the #Metaverse / #Matrix. (minus their legs obvs) Something like that anyway. Some of them seem to think the #Singularity is the #EndTimes of the Bible now too. The rapture of the nerds === #TheRapture apparently.
#ScienceFiction books of the last 100 years have a lot to answer for. It appears that when authors write about #dystopia everyone on earth gets a dystopian reality sooner or later. We should have stuck with 19th century Romantic poets and writers as our guides to the future. William Morris was right. Again.
99.9999% of humanity won't get the "AI" rapture future. Of course we fucking won't, for a start #Theil and co are massive racists so only white billionaires will be allowed in their metaverse. We will left to die in the gutter while the motherfuckers live a life of digital bliss.
At least the machines in the Matrix movies had a use for the rest of humanity. Somehow our bodies generated electricity for the machines. Better yet the machines were actually kind enough to plug all the humans minds into the Matrix to keep them acquiescent. I wouldn't mind living in a simulation of 1990s #NYC right now. Its a hell of a lot better than the second quarter of 21st century has turned out to be.
There is a very important question that the "AI" supreme beings have forgotten. Which is _*"Who keeps the #datacenters running?"*_ What happens to these silicon gods when the power goes out or the cooling water runs dry? They are not so omnipotent now are they?
When the rest of humanity decides that having vast #datacenters is killing the planet and turns them off. When those of us left behind decide to do something far better and important and turn off the useless, redundant datacenters. When we realise we hated the supreme beings all along and collectively say "fuck you" and turn everything off. When we are all wiped out by an ecological catastrophe / nuclear war / asteroid strike or other extinction level event and there is no one left to keep the lights on.
When any of that happens these bastards will die twice. Once when they give up their physical form to "live" in the Matrix and once when the lights go out in their virtual world. Good. The motherfuckers deserve to die multiple times for what they are doing to #humanity and the Earth. I say _*"Kill em all and let their digital gods sort them out."*_
May what ever gods, goddesses and other supreme beings there may be have mercy on us all.
Hail Eris.
KICK OUT THE JAMMS MOTHERFUCKERS!
Matrix is a complete disaster. Got kicked out of the web client, confirmed my identity using my recovery key. It says that I can now decrypt my old messages, but when I actually try to look at them, it's "Unable to decrypt message" everywhere.
As much I applaud my institution's efforts towards digital sovereignty by running their own Matrix server, this isn't it.
