So evidently Element now has screen sharing and voice chat integrated in an “always on” room. All with encrypted messages. Making a really strong case for me to potentially ditch Revolt. But moving my friends yet again might be impossible #foss#matrix#discord#revolt#element
anyone using #beeper? how do you like it? how's their storage of credentials? that's the only bit that really makes me nervous.
i'm also curious how well #matrix works for it. my general experience with matrix as an end user with "normal" people has been overall terrible, even with great projects like @element
@hobbsc@element depends, you login on the client and they scrape the session ID's and store them on their server.
But they also work on new version of the bridges, currently in Android there is a local Signal bridge where they keep the session ID locally. That was possible with SMS too once, but they didnt add that back in the 2.0 android app.
They have merged with texts.com which is fully locally so who knows what will happen there.
primarily I want to share one id/account. we don't need separate private messaging here. when people try to do that, it should be a matrix conversation. etc.

L'instance matrix.org rencontre énormément de dysfonctionnements depuis hier se qui rend l'expérience quasiment inutilisable. L'instance étant déjà sujet à des lenteurs en temps normal, je me tâte à ouvrir ma propre instance mais la migration de mes espaces existants peut être assez fastidieuse...
Likely a result of recent Slack shenanigans, the pressure on the matrix.org server is a good reminder of why I should just run my own #matrix instance. It also just adds to my appreciation of how much nicer it is to run and use #xmpp.
Anyone else experiencing severe service outages on matrix.org currently and during the last week?
My and my friend's account don't function at all and at @matrix I see only posts about their elections lately ...
There was a performance regression introduced on Tuesday which the team is working to resolve, unfortunately exacerbated today by weekly end-of-week traffic peak. We are so sorry for the inconvenience!
You know who will never mine your private communications to train an LLM?
Better yet, you know whose words you don't need to trust, because you aren't obligated to use any particular server? And the software is open source? And regularly audited by security researchers?
Matrix.
It's not perfect, but no tool is. It's a matter of what trade offs you're willing to accept. Just sayin' ¯_(ツ)_/¯
PS. If Matrix is good enough for the United Nations, the French civil service, the German healthcare system, and a ton of FOSS projects, it's probably good enough for your community or company, too.
