items: lnxw48a1: #ejabberd is adding #Matrix bridging to its !xmpp server. https://www.process-one.net/blog/matrix-protocol-added-to-ejabberd/ It already has #MQTT and #SIP functionality.

items: lnxw48a1: @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.
items: lnxw48a1: 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.
items: lnxw48a1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27153338 More on the #Freenode takeover battle, #IRC history, and competing chat services ( such as #Discord and #Matrix ).
items: lnxw48a1: 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?
items: objectType=comment
items: lnxw48a1: @clacke Just text on #Matrix, but I do occasionally do #Mumble sessions.
items: lnxw48a1: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-special-2020/ [matrix org] The #Matrix team has been busy.
items: lnxw48a1: Operate a #Synapse #Matrix server? It's time to #upgrade! https://matrix.org/blog/2020/11/23/synapse-disclosing-cve-2020-26890
items: lnxw48a1: The #Matrix room is https://matrix.to/#/!HxmXYWxxBPQLCxRGGK:matrix.heldscal.la?via=matrix.heldscal.la (#vidya:matrix.heldscal.la)
items: lnxw48a1: @dielan@shitposter.club made a video game themed #Matrix room. See: https://shitposter.club/objects/7210f939-6918-466e-83ff-b43a9d956992
items: lnxw48a1: #Riot / Riot.im, the flagship client software for #Matrix is now re-named to #Element. Updates should be appearing in various app stores.
items: lnxw48a1: @guizzy Lain's #matrix server hosts a retro room, but it isn't very active.
items: lnxw48a1: #Matrix client riot.im is being renamed. https://blog.riot.im/the-world-is-changing/
items: lnxw48a1: The #Matrix (at least matrix.org) bridge to #Freenode #IRC just went down again. That's most of what I use Matrix for, so that's not good.
items: lnxw48a1: #Matrix is a lot less interesting without the #IRC bridge.
items: lnxw48a1: Hmm. It seems the #Matrix bridge to #Freenode #IRC is still down after the Freenode server reconfig yesterday.
items: lnxw48a1: The #python room on #Freenode_IRC is too busy. There are also such rooms on #OFTC_IRC and #Matrix (the one I know about is on matrix.org), but they are practically ghost towns.
items: lnxw48a1: https://matrix.org/docs/spec/#room-structure #Matrix room specification. I think it was @clacke@libranet.de that was talking about this some time back
items: lnxw48a1: @moonman I guess the #Matrix version of the #10grans bot still exists. It still appears on the user list of some rooms I'm in.

title: lnxw48a1: 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.

title: lnxw48a1: 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.

title: lnxw48a1: 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.

title: lnxw48a1: 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.)

title: lnxw48a1: 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.

title: lnxw48a1: 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.

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.

title: lnxw48a1: 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.

title: lnxw48a1: @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.)

title: lnxw48a1: Though I think they have a lot of stuff they already needed to solve. Trying to fix the #Matrix protocol itself and replace the #Synapse server with something more efficient, while porting features over from #Gitter (both the server and the client ends) is going to increase the strain on their development resources. The recent migration from #Riot.im to #Element (on Android) is already dissatisfying, as the new client does not have all the capabilities of the old one and also introduced new bugs. As a regular user of Matrix (who once considered hosting a homeserver), I see this mostly like Mozilla's Eudora mail client announcement several years back: "We already lack the needed resources for this project, so we're going to take on additional responsibilities".

title: lnxw48a1: Okay look. *I* don't use #Signal ( and same for #Telegram ), because I don't want to give my telephone number to anyone except family and close friends. I have enough personal contacts that do use them so that they'd be personally useful if I didn't have that unbreakable obstacle. But I don't object to others choosing such end-to-end encrypted messengers over messaging apps such as (for example) #Facebook_Messenger. I personally use #Wire, #XMPP, #Matrix, and #WickrMe. (I tried #Jami, but it wasn't very usable yet; none of my contacts were willing to try #Tox or #Briar.) I've even considered getting a Google account again so I can use whatever their latest incarnation of messaging is (just because almost everyone I know has a Google account). It does bother me that Signal and Telegram and most other messaging services are centralized and non-federated. It seems we haven't learned from the 1990s & early 2000s when some friends had AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), some had MSN Messenger, some had Yahoo Messenger, some had ICQ, and a few had various other walled garden messengers (such as Excite's messenger). If I wanted to talk with all my friends, I needed to have accounts on every possible service. I should be able to communicate with my friends from whatever service I choose to use to whatever services they choose to use and not have to create accounts on every possible service. But that's a matter of educating our friends and family, not of dogmatically refusing to communicate with them on any service they might use.

I should be able to communicate with my friends from whatever service I choose to use to whatever services they choose to use and not have to create accounts on every possible service. But that's a matter of educating our friends and family, not of dogmatically refusing to communicate with them on any service they might use.

title: lnxw48a1: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/privee/privee This sounds like a good idea, but (1) as a #Matrix user, I don't think the protocol or the implementing software are "ready for prime time" and (2) I don't see any sign that they have given much thought to NAT, firewalls, or DNS. An organization, once it has sufficient internally technology resources, could quickly get this working, but that sized org is just as likely to buy a real server and run their own chat & IM service (or contract it out to any of the "enterprise" vendors). I think this targets home users and really small businesses without an IT background and should probably include (and talk about) some tools and services to make that use case realistic.

Use a CLI client and a bouncer, use slash commands, spin up an eggdrop. Learn to kick and ban troublesome users. For now, Quassel and a #Matrix bridge are good enough.

title: lnxw48a1: #Riot (Riot-Android) recently introduced an issue where “favorite” rooms disappeared from the favorites list each time the program starts. There is a new version now, but so far, “install failed” on both of the devices I attempted to update. This is yet another hurdle that #Matrix has to get over. Besides all the problems people are noting with the server implementation (Synapse), the clients seem to be low quality. I no longer have any contacts where we can 1:1 over Matrix. They’ve all been driven off by bugs ? ... in particular, the end-to-end encryption gave lots of “unable to decrypt this message”. I’m told that has ended, but there’s no one to test it with. I currently use Matrix mostly for the bridges to #IRC.

title: n5admin: Personally, I never liked #IRC, so I quickly stopped using it back in the late #1990s. Sometime in the 2000s or 2010s, I started to use #SILC (through their CLI client based on the "irssi" IRC client), and only through SILC did I learn to tolerate IRC. Today, I almost always use IRC through bridges to #Matrix or #XMPP MUCs. And even though I usually have multiple terminal windows open on my desktop, I only use GUI IRC clients.
