Stay clear from nascent startups - They are just full of shit and almost everything they say is hyperbole. (Example - huddle01 - Rebranding federation as web3 - they are not even in the federation state now (that is a future work), lighthouse.storage, etc.. Source: 12 months ago

I'm sorry to say, as someone who has loved SIA since 2017, SIA isn't really competitive with current market options, like arweave, file coin, lighthouse.storage etc. Source: over 1 year ago

Keep in mind Matrix is a protocol for messaging just like email is a protocol for mail. There's more than one client and Element just so happens to be the most popular one. A really good runner-up would be FluffyChat. Then there's Cinny. Source: over 1 year ago

That's actually almost a ripoff of FluffyChat with the pull-up server list from Element's Android app. And given Matrix is trying to mimic the semantics of Discord servers with spaces, I don't even like those layouts. Gross. Source: over 1 year ago

There is a package I wanted to use fluffychat (Matrix Client) you can only get it from flathub and snap (officially) there is an aur package for arch (unofficial). This is just an example. There was also some other package that I no-longer use that had a similar case. More will become like this that's for sure. I don't like this future, it sucks. Source: over 1 year ago

@Hamuko I have been on matrix several years, and lately I've been really liking Schildi Chat [https://schildi.chat]. Also, many other users that I know really like Fluffy Chat [https://fluffychat.im/]. In any case, there are several more options nowadays. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Then I've found FluffyChat, and it seems to working just fine; and has a Linux version too. Source: over 1 year ago
