Social recommendations and mentions

• Qilin: A Starter Project Template For Every Open Source Project

  GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• A man has been swatted 47 times for making a joke about Norm Macdonald

  Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use. For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in),... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Launching Default End-to-End Encryption on Messenger

  I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance. [0] https://matrix.org. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Meta is pulling the plug on Messenger chats on Instagram

  Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... Slowly improving. Source: 5 months ago

• Connect to Element One in Element X?

  I'm trying to change my account provider from "matrix.org" to whatever Element One needs, and for the life of me I just don't understand what values I have to put where to be able to log in. I tried `element.io`, which takes me to sso.element.io but this doesn't seem like the right thing (no credentials work as I expect. Source: 6 months ago

• Your privacy is optional

  Matrix - I currently have my family chat on WhatsApp, but I plan to give my daughters tablets for Xmas and I want them to have a way to chat with family without needing to have a phone number or signup to WhatsApp. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• has anyone dug into the new chat system?

  The new chat is somewhat interesting. It looks like it's built on matrix. Anything else? Source: 9 months ago

• Discord Is Not Documentation

  > Telegram isn't great for having an overarching place for everyone to join with siloed discussions for sub-categories of discussion. Just want to point out that they fixed this, it's possible to create Topics once the channel's community reaches 200 users. Though this probably isn't what most users want for a support channel. Having one place to go is simpler then a community with a dozen company meme channels... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Discord Is Not Documentation

  Telegram isn't great for having a main topic with siloed discussions about sub-categories of things. Slack costs a lot of money if you want searchable history. Matrix (https://matrix.org/) is pretty bad when you get to using it. It works, but the QOL isn't up to Discord's level. Discord is just as easy to replace as any other chat platform if they decide to sell out or destroy their product. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Just released my own Chat - Quack 2.0

  Matrix is really nice too, I personally use Element as a client. Source: 10 months ago

• Perthchat.org Australia's largest public Matrix service starts taking donations in XMR!

• Give me tips for being internet protected¿

  As mentioned, I do not use closed-source services either. So, I do not use services by big tech companies. People use gmail, google drive, google search, WhatsApp, Zoom, Netflix, Spotify, Microsoft Office, photoshop etc. All these services collect and sell your data. I use ProtonMail, Nextcloud, Matrix, Jitsi, Jellyfin, LibreOffice, GIMP etc. Most of these sre self-hosted, that is, they are hosted on my home... Source: 10 months ago

• What's the status and progress of decentralized social media?

  Let me put it in another way: of all the existing projects out there, which one does actually bring material benefit to the users and publishers compared with, e.g, Mastodon, Matrix, Movim or Nostr? Source: 10 months ago

• What's the status and progress of decentralized social media?

  There have been decentralized social network such as Mastodon and Matrix. Though, both lacks of user adoption due to confusing user experience and hard to scale since most of them are public goods fully run on altruism. Source: 10 months ago

• sub.rehab, a website to help you find your communities off Reddit

  Also means that corporate profit-mongers such as Discord will get a lot more traffic. Sure, there is Matrix too, which is a non-profit foundation with a very sound mission of public service and an unfortunately bad branding. Both are chat-based platforms, so not Reddit replacements exactly. Source: 10 months ago

• Are there any good matrix clients that run under tails? or is using the element webclient the only way?

  Title. I want to use matrix's excellent chat protocol but there doesn't seem to be a built in client, and the element web client sucks to use seeing as half of the UI elements don't seem to work. Source: 10 months ago

• Migrate out of Reddit

  I suggest Matrix, which is a modern open chat platform. It’s much more privacy-respecting than Reddit, and a lot of communities have adopted it after the recent crisis regarding the API. Source: 10 months ago

• Addressing the community about changes to our API

  People should use Matrix rooms and spaces (groups of rooms, like Discord servers). Don't just use matrix.org as your homeserver, decentralize! You don't miss out on anything if you pick a different homeserver, they sync. Source: 11 months ago

• status update

  Currently I have a lot of work on my commercial projects, and outside, because it's finally sunny so I didn't manage to squeeze a update for Rye for a while. Updates will come, I want to start writing the cookbook on the ryelang.org and create some new examples. Probably I will integrate matrix messaging protocol soon, which seems awesome. Maybe also for some interesting Rye to Rye communication experiments:... Source: 10 months ago

• Is data privacy something you all pay attention to? Is it important & in what ways?
