Notices tagged with matrix

@dwaltiz I think #Matrix in general is being used less except for some large special-interest rooms and some rooms about specific Matrix server or client software.

The other thing that Matrix is good for, accessing #IRC via the Matrix-IRC bridge, is hampered by the bridge failing to complete login when it reconnects.

I really like the new look and feel of #matrix #riot mobile client.

#Matrix question: How do I turn a local user into an admin on my own server? Is /usr/bin/register_new_matrix_user the only way?

#Matrix in the French State (with a decent intro and background of #matrix if you are new to it) https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/matrix_french_state/

Other feedback regarding what you know about #xmpp and/or #matrix from an #accessibility perspective is also very welcome!

We're gathering feedback in order to make a good move away from Discord asap.

If there's other #FLOSS recommendations which serve a similar purpose they are also welcome.

> #Matrix with it's flagship currently-assumed-non-free #Riot

I think you're overstating your case here, to the point of misleading people. AFAIK Riot *itself* isn't non-free, it's desktop apps have a non-free dependency; #Electron. Actually Electron itself isn't non-free either, it also has a non-free dependency; #Chromium. Actually #Chromium itself isn't non-free either, it just has some dependencies whose license situation is unclear.

#Disroot.org have decided to shift the focus of their group chat platform from the #Riot web client and #Matrix server/ protocol, to an #XMPP web client and server.

@xj9 #Wire is ready for use by non-geeks *now*, on all major platforms (desktop, mobile, and web). Name a single federated chat system that has clients with the #UX polish of Wire across the same range of platforms, clients that can reliably support voice/video chat and file transfer. Clients you could realistically recommend to your Grandpa who lives in a cabin in the woods as a #Skype replacement. The hard truth is neither #XMPP nor #Matrix clients are ready for primetime.

@stevenroose This is concerning. However, there are better alternatives, like #matrix, #rocketchat and #mattermost. They all put *you* in control.

@clacke I agree with everything @sir says about #Signal, having come to pretty much the same conclusions reading most of the same old discussion threads he did. The only thing that makes my brow wrinkle is not suggesting #GNU #Ring along with #Matrix, and suggesting #Tox. Doesn't it have some unresolved security concerns?https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/issues/121
