    My use of #Matrix has really plummeted. After the last time that it wiped my bridged #IRC rooms, I decided that it isn't worth the hassle of re-adding them every 30-60 days. So now, have a few Matrix rooms (most of which are completely inactive) and one #Gitter room (bridged, I think, though the plan is for Gitter to speak the Matrix protocol soon).

    I left the #Python space and the rooms it contains because one of the admins / moderators was abusive toward a room member.

    The #Matrix main organizations ( Vector Ltd / Element / Matrix Foundation ) are experiencing some financial issues and have laid off some employees. The blog post is at https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2022/ [matrix org]

    They note that they provide everything under permissive licenses and then wonder why giant corporations adopt their technology without giving anything back.

    Well, that is something that MongoDB and some other no-SQL databases have had to deal with. Their userbase insists on permissive licenses, then the largest and most profitable users refuse to support the organizations that pay the developers. In many cases, the result is some custom non-free license (generally masquerading as “open source” but neither free software nor open source software) meant to extract money out of users who make money using the product.

    Personally, I’d rather see #GPLv3 / #AGPLv3 without a “buy a commercial license to avoid responsibilities” plan going into widespread use, but that’s sure to greatly reduce revenues. It probably means paid support is the main funding model.

    But anyway, I think that Matrix has done really well for something that is inherently inferior to #XMPP, but has a pretty face and good marketing team.

    I do use #Matrix a little, but I have been saying all along that I don't like the way they bolted on end-to-end encryption (E2EE) after the protocol was already in use. There are constantly issues (see the \#element-ios:matrix.org and \#element-android:matrix.org rooms for regular traffic about issues related to encryption and the "verify my device and session" process that should never appear. And there is no concept of a contact ... there is some simulation in the way one-to-one chats are labelled, but there are some weird things that can happen if one expects that a list of those chats are a contact list.

    @lxo That seems to be the reason so many new #Matrix users crowd the element-iOS and element-android rooms, asking about "cannot decrypt" messages.

    Fortunately or not, nearly all of my contacts have abandoned #Matrix because of non-decryptable messages. “The sender’s device has not sent us any keys for this message.”

    Which means no encrypted messages to be affected by this flaw.

    I guess Syphon ( #Matrix client for #iOS ) got updated. I had to re-enter all my info. I don't know why they did it that way. I probably should have just deleted it and used the FluffyChat client instead.

    And that was enough to bounce me out of any remaining #Freenode rooms which I was in via #Matrix. I’ll remove myself from the Matrix side of those same rooms and I’ll be good.

    So with all the fuss around #Freenode, I recently realized that I hadn't logged into #IRC directly (as opposed to through #Matrix) in a couple of years.

    Checking, I found this:
    * Freenode account: closed.
    * OFTC account: still open, but since I had no IRC client installed, no idea what channels / rooms I used to use.
    * Rizon account: still open, but no idea what channels / rooms I used to use.
    * LiberaChat account: newly created.

    I haven't ever really been a fan of IRC. I couldn't stand it at all until I started using #SILC several years back. (I haven't used that in at least 3-4 years. I should take a look at it, again. When I quit using it, the channels I used on the main silcnet.org network were mostly very quiet.)

    On the other hand, #Matrix's bridge to #Freenode seems to powercycle at least once per day, resulting in me being kicked out of rooms unless I identify to NickServ quickly enough. (If the #IRC side kicks you, the Matrix side obliges ... and the Element client does not even save that room so you can rejoin easily after you identify.

    I dislike rejoining "#freenode_#roomname:matrix.org" so frequently. Maybe I should set up a bouncer and use and IRC client.

    It has been so long since I used my #Freenode #IRC logon directly (as distinct from the one that #Matrix created for me) that it is apparently closed.

    I was surprised to find that I didn't even have an IRC client installed on this laptop.

    I guess that is a sign that I am free to move to LiberaChat ... but I may just wait until #Matrix has bridging to that network and then allow it to create an account for me.

    Revisiting !fnetworks expansion plans.

    Thinking that there might be a reason to add #Funkwhale to the list ... with some restrictions (requires #Federati Networks account, original content only, moderated; possible fundraising may be needed as file storage requirements expand)

    Also, already planning to add #XMPP, #Movim, #Mattermost chats, but considering trying out a #Matrix instance (preferably something other than Synapse) to see how well bridging to XMPP MUCs works. I'm sure the Matrix team has never considered a setup where only rooms bridged from $PROTOCOL and possibly also $INSTANCE can be created locally.
