• Twitter’s Encrypted DMs Are Deeply Inferior to Signal and WhatsApp. The social network's new privacy feature is technically flawed, opt-in, and limited in its functionality. All this for just $8 a month.

  I love how Matrix or its most popular client Element do not even get a mention. Source: about 1 year ago

• A new onboarding experience on Mastodon

  The title undersells the change a bit in my opinion. By default, mastodon now encourages new users to sign-up on https://mastodon.social which has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the fediverse. Personally, I'm largely ambivalent to the change; I understand the reasoning, and it's what https://element.io has been doing for https://matrix.org since the beginning. It is more than a bit of a sea-change though given the... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Paying users get early access to the new change

  We currently have the Matrix protocol, with client applications such as Element supporting it. We also have XMPP as another option. Generally more modern than IRC, these platforms are primarily developed as FOSS software. This makes it less likely for developers to impact their users negatively. However, despite these advantages, these platforms lack the refined user experience (addictiveness and stickiness) that... Source: about 1 year ago

• [For Hire] Computer Programming Tutor or Teacher (C, C++, and others, details inside)

  Please DM me if you are interested in hiring me or have any questions at all. We will work via Element (https://element.io) voice/screen share calls, so please make sure you have a mic available. I look forward to hearing from you. Source: about 1 year ago

• Discord alternatives?

  Your best bet is probably matrix, the most user friendly client iirc is element. Source: about 1 year ago

• Shutting down the Matrix bridge to Libera Chat

  If you're talking about Element switching its contributions to Synapse from Apache to AGPL, the rationale is that folks who want to commercialise Synapse will either have to a) opensource their changes, b) pay for an AGPL exception from Element, c) use a different server (e.g. Apache-licensed Conduit from https://conduit.rs) or d) write their own server. This hardly feels like suffocating competition. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• The Future of Synapse and Dendrite

  Reminder - https://conduit.rs/ Rust implementation of the matrix server stack. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• IRC Is the Only Viable Chat Protocol

  Many who have causally read about Matrix and looked into running a homeserver have run across the reference implementation Synapse, which is (IMO only, pls no flame) a bloated python monstrosity. This turned me off for years. A second-gen (?) alternative written in Go called Dendrite is much lighter weight, but is lacking in some features last I looked. A couple of years ago, I found Conduit (https://conduit.rs/)... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Everything that uses configuration files should report where they're located

  In Conduit (https://conduit.rs) there is no default config path, in order to start Conduit, you need to specify the CONDUIT_CONFIG environment variable, which is the path to your config. This will typically be done in a systemd service. This has multiple benefits:. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Matrix 2.0 — Matthew Hodgson talks about Rust in Element client, Rust SDK, IETF MLS, MIMI and more

  Until now, Rust was only present in the Matrix ecosystem thanks to contributions by third-parties in the form of Conduit and Fractal. So this is pretty rad. Amongst these two, Conduit is the most important project imo. It's a Matrix home server, written from scratch in Rust. Source: over 1 year ago
