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.

This report makes it clear that it is now time for all projects to move off #Freenode #IRC. https://www.devever.net/~hl/freenode_abuse
You can move to #LiberaChat, to #OFTC, to #Rizon, etc. Or use #Matrix or an #XMPP MUC instead of IRC. Just don't "wait and see" and be surprised when your channel is targeted.

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.

More on the #Freenode takeover battle, #IRC history, and competing chat services ( such as #Discord and #Matrix ).

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.
-
I use #Matrix, but I really do not get why #matrixvangelists seem to think it is okay to foul up every other chat protocol’s stream with garbage.
Just stop it, okay?

Using the Syphon #Matrix client for #iOS.
It is still very early in its life, so it should improve over time.
There's a few things that need to improve:
* It is designed for iPhones, so it looks awkward on an iPad.
* After I set it up and logged in, there was an update. After the update, I had to set it up again. It didn't retain my login session or information.
* It doesn't pick your homeserver as the place to log into when you enter the normal "username:homeserver.tld" syntax. You have to click the magnifying glass icon and enter your (homeserver.tld).
These things can be fixed, and some likely will be fixed, as development continues.

@geniusmusing Yeah. :-(
I think the #blockwars folks may have indirectly caused this. There are people who file complaints against client apps that don’t build in blocklists against specific servers whose moderation policies they dislike.
I think that #Matrix / #Element competes with one or more Google-owned chat-type services. Since they gatekeep the overwhelming majority of Android users’ software installation, a good antitrust lawyer would be helpful. I’ll bet that faxing a bunch of documents to #USDOJ and various states would suddenly cause Google to decide that Element doesn’t violate their policies anyway.
(Someone said it was “Boomers at Google that don’t understand federation”, but first of all, I’m certain that most GOOG employees are far younger than you and I, and secondly, I’m sure someone at Google understands federation, though they obviously dislike not being in control. Google Talk was federated with #XMPP, while Google Plus was basically #Diaspora with federation stripped out.)

@clacke Just text on #Matrix, but I do occasionally do #Mumble sessions.

Operate a #Synapse #Matrix server? It's time to #upgrade! https://matrix.org/blog/2020/11/23/synapse-disclosing-cve-2020-26890

Cosmic tuning. Running #weechat-matrix #matrix #client inside #docker on #ubuntu #server within secure system perimeter, requiring using #double #ssh #jump #server with #key #authentication and so on. But I got it done, oh joy.
-
#Element / #Matrix It would be wonderful to have a proper #message #history and #key #management #control #features. As example ability to #purge #keys selectively or even configure #automatic #prune.

@dielan@shitposter.club made a video game themed #Matrix room. See: https://shitposter.club/objects/7210f939-6918-466e-83ff-b43a9d956992

With #Matrix, the #Riot.im client was replaced by #Element, which is buggy. In the process, the upstream used to produce the #miniVector client was disrupted, so that client is discontinued. #Pattle's developer also decided to discontinued it.
I'll have to look around #F-droid to see what else is available.
