I am not punching on #Matrix, it is just a protocol, but I don’t like the weepy nobody-likes-everybody-hates-us tone they always put on whenever criticised from Element people. (voice of Severus Snape) “Customers don’t give f*ck about being fair”, they care about what you can sell them. Yes, as Red Hat (and, my employer, SUSE) noticed long time ago, you cannot sell free software, you have to sell something people cannot get for free. So, for example, hosting … and Element.io hosting is …

Ich benutze einige OpenSource Dienste.
U.a. #matrix als Messenger ![]()
Gestern Abend gab es dazu ein wichtiges Server-Update, um Sicherheitslücken zu schließen. Auch die zu benutzenden Apps (ElementX, FlufyfChat, etc) müssen dazu aktuell sein.
@ossrox, bei denen mein Server läuft, hat schon einige Minuten nach der Bereitstellung die Server geupdatet und mich per eMail informiert.
Super Service! Vielen Dank! 💐

Und eigentlich würde ich gerne andere Sachen machen, als so etwas zu debuggen :/
I upgraded my homeserver, have you?

Since I don't feel like running a Matrix instance any longer: Does anyone have experience with SimpleX chat yet? Like, how stable is messaging, calls, etc., how is the overall UX? Maybe anyone even experience with running an own server? Is this a serious contender in distributed, private IM?

I know punching down on Matrix is something people like to do here, but this was a good read about how difficult things are for them: https://lobste.rs/s/muk05v/reflections_on_matrix_criticism_over#c_8obbim
@QuadRadical exactly, if what one is using matrix is for public groups, Delta Chat is not for that, we are working on adding channels ( #telegram style) support, tho, and if it is for a closed community ex. people that meet in a physical place, is also good, but not for a community open to random people in the internet like a support group for some project, #matrix and #xmpp are both not good IMHO but there isn't anything better out there right now
@jerry If you run a Matrix Server, it is time to upgrade. Move to DeltaChat. 😜
Your life will be better in the long term.
