• 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

• Alternatives to Jitsi

  Without knowing your requirements, it's hard to make any real recommendations. Mumble, XMPP Jingle (groups possible) and Matrix all are options with audio (and some video) call support. Source: about 2 years ago

• I'm looking for a self-hosted real-time chat (like telegram, discord, etc...)

  Take encrypted file transfer for instance. let's say I'm in an OMEMO chat session with you and I click my client's "send file" button. How do I know whether or not my file is going to be encrypted? there's enough wiggle room at the intersection of all of the relevant XEPs (not to mention client-defined behavior) that I'm not sure I could actually tell you for sure without looking at the source code for both clients.

• Why IRC is almost dead and how to fix it

  Unnecessary for a chat protocol. In addition, if you want that you could just move to XMPP instead which does have XEP-0166: Jingle SIP-like session initialization. You could also use Mumble instead. Source: about 3 years ago
