Matrix was built to become the open communication of the web and serve everyone. But, as the Internet and email did, its network effect started with governments. Today, and as proven by the audience in the room, most European governments and several others are either using it or looking at implementing it for their communications. This talk will tell the story of how we got there and why.
ugh matrix sucks and I wish it wasn’t the preferred form of communication for everyone on fedi.
once fluxxer gets federation I’m gonna be done with matrix forever.
Had me at Matrix sucks, then lost me at Fluxer
fair enough. but most of what we use matrix for is chatting, meme channels, and gaming. and the voice features on fluxer are better than matrix, especially since not all matrix clients even support voice.
Why not Movim? A lot more history; a lot less vibecoding.
But also E2EE
Once fluxer gets e2ee and federation and better docs and adoption and professional support and a mature org behind it. Then it can be just like Matrix 😂
I don’t need something “just like Matrix”. E2EE in Matrix sucks and we had to remake several rooms on the FAF Matrix because a bunch of people couldn’t read anything. I need something that actually works most of the time and doesn’t have constant and myriad problems. the fact that most of fedi uses Matrix is even more regrettable considering the plethora of mature alternatives that work well and are stable.
Its just Matrix and XMPP at the moment for all of those features, right?
XMPP is a pretty wide umbrella, with a lot of very mature alternatives that are stable and consume very little resources.
Personally I’d prefer XMPP. They way it caches data between instances is way less bloated
