MATRIX.org (was) down and that is good because people will now learn the joys of federation
Are you looking for a better approach to federated chat than #Matrix or #XMPP? I'm working on #Chatterbox, a simple, straightforward federated chat protocol that, ideally, will be more user-friendly (and developer-friendly) than either.

The blog post links to a gist with the full API specification, in a single well-commented Protobuf file.
I'm working on a reference server that should be available soon. Follow the hashtag if you're interested in updates.
Just migrated my #Matrix instance running in Synapse from SQLite to PostgreSQL. Fortunately, synapse_port_db is not that hard to use. So I am techically ready to host other users here now on my instance as well 😉.
And just a reminder: having *many* Matrix instances is the way to go for a *decentralized* network. While matrix.org was down I had no issues at all continuing my conversions with people even in rooms which are located orginally on matrix.org - the wonders of federation 🙂
Does someone know how to sens messages from matrix.org to telegram, if that is possible?
Thanks!
I upgraded all my rooms on my #Matrix server but now I'm wondering if I need to update the space they are in too?
MATRIX.org Is Down And This Is Good

@niko njoo, onhan se hyvä vaihtoehto WhatsAppille, mutta pitää muistaa kehujen lisäksi myös sen antifeturet. Se on keskitetty, yhden tahon hallinnoima joka mahdollistaa kaikenlaista ikävää. Ja vaikka se flirttailee avoimen lähdekoodin kanssa, et saa kääntää ja jaella omia Signal-binäärejä. Virallista Signalia et läydä Debianista etkä F-Droidista.
Muunmuassa näiden vuoksi avoimuudesta ja yksityisyydestä kiinnipitävät käyttävät Matrixia. Sitä voi myös käyttää niiden valtiosalaisuuksien välittämiseen.
Aika hyvä vertaus näiden välillä olisi Bluesky vs Mastodon Twitterin korvaajana.

Yaaay, #Matrix is back! :D — #microblogging #MicroToot: 26 characters
I just noticed that #Thunderbird supports #IRC and #Matrix protocols
. When did that happen? I feel like I live under a rock...
