Nachdem #Telegram ziemlich eindeutig Nazisymbolik im letzten "Hey guck mal wie tol wir sind"-Pitch verwendet hat, gehen mir langsam die barrierefreien Messenger aus. Die Partnerin und ich überlegen, es mal mit #Matrix zu versuchen und sind etwas erschlagen davon, wo man anfängt. Selbst hosten ist zumindest momentan keine Option. Wo ist es denn angenehm?
@marco@SunDial79@WestphalDenn Signal haben wir damals ziemlich massiv versucht zu erreichen, als wir eine Alternative zu WhatsApp für eine Gruppe mit mehr als 256 Nutzern gesucht hatten. Signal hat damals nur sehr, sehr langsam bis gar nicht reagiert, sodass WhatsApp die Gruppengröße zwischenzeitlich auf über 500 erhöht hatte und wir dann am Ende dort geblieben sind. Sehr schade.
I might finally do a technical stream this weekend. But instead of coding the goal for me will be to set up #Synapse and hook up to the #Matrix. I tried this before but got stuck on the mail server setup step, but I've been told there are other options so I guess we'll give this another go.
Will I finally divorce myself from #Discord? Probably not, but this is a good first step and if I can get this to work, then I can finally delete my server from that cursed network! 😂
I’m excited to announce that Beeper has been acquired by Automattic. This acquisition marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as we continue our mission to create the best chat app on earth.
Pour info, beeper est une app qui permet de creer facilement des ponts sur les messagerie comme telegram, signal, whatsapp, sms. Sous Element (app matrix), l'option etait un peu technique ou il faut avoir un abo sur Element One...enfin toute les étapes qu'une personne normale ne ferait pas. Beeper simplifie cela.
En tout cas, c'est un gros changement dans le paysage des tchats. Automattic (wordpress) était déjà interessé par Matrix en 2020 :
Et je me disais qu'Element allait gagner en maturité, fonctionalités et je l'avais suggéré à mon équipe pour un résultat en demi-teinte, trop tot car pas super aboutti.
Et je pense que cette acquisition va bousculer un peu le paysage, nottament pour whatsapp. Reste que matrix a encore besoin de finition.
Juste beeper permet la création de pont entre les apps plus facilement. Je suis en train de la tester. Le gros changement va etre l'appuie d'Automattic : don à ja fondation matrix + les ponts sur beeper.
Et eventuellement promotion de beeper sur wordpress. Je la teste.

So has anyone had experience setting up a #Matrix server using #Synapse? The platform itself seemed pretty straightforward until it got to the part where I needed to configure a mail server. What solutions do people use?
I want desperately to set my own server and ween myself off of Discord soooo badly. 😅
@zalasur i think you don't need one. You can set a mail address (any mail adress also ones from microsoft and gmail work) in the config file, but you can set up synapse without it
@benjo I'm pretty sure it required one because it needed to send out emails for registrations and that sort of thing. I'm going to try again this weekend but I definitely remember the mail server step was a major stumbling block the last time around.
I want Matrix to last. When I look at the success of the Linux project, I see years of steady work paying off in the long term. I think Matrix should take the same approach: steadily working on creating an excellent open standard and excellent implementations of it. Taking over the world (which is absolutely my ambition!) will inevitably come if the product is good enough, because the advantages of openness are so strong.
@sky I want to love neochat and fractal, but I can't handle neochats lack of notifications for spaces (only rooms) and I can't handle fractals lack of spaces! I'm in too many rooms to lump them all together.
I'd jump on either of them if I could navigate my number of spaces and channels more effectively!
It's a bummer that to get best #matrix experience you gotta set up your own server because then you can finally use bridges and other tools that actually work, and you can also disable encryption by default.
You can also disable encryption completely which honestly most people would be fine with.
I don't understand why I can't encrypt only the messages I want to be encrypted. Why does it have to be either/or thing?
Would be cool if I could talk without encryption but if I talk about something very personal I could encrypt that post and give the key to read it to anyone who wishes to see it (if I allow it).
@element@downey did not expect to get this level of attention. So please know that I'm truly grateful for it.
Is the element server stack based on the python synapse server? And did you have a code audit? Sorry, I'm a little curious 🙃😇
@B4ckBOne@downey yup, element server suite is based on synapse. bits of the code have been audited, although we will do a full end-to-end audit once element x lands fully.
Now I have #mastodon, #email and #matrix in #emacs. Funny how communications on computers are easier to focus on without all the intense animations, colors and ads. I feel much more relaxed and ready to work when it's all texted based.
United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) has selected #Element as its #secure communications platform, following a competitive #tender process.
Element stood out as a digitally sovereign platform which offers end-to-end #encryption. Its ability to be #federated to support multiple organisations was also a key factor in the #selection process.
#UNICC will self-host Element through an Element Enterprise subscription.
