  • Matrix is only really enjoyable with unencrypted chats.

    I have fairly recently switched phones. Now, a good number of older messenges fail to decrypt. Even when I don’t switch devices, a group chat for a three day long event with a very small group already gave us lots of fun decryption errors. Oh, and I have this other fun group chat where Fluffy Chat constantly reminds me that people whose devices I haven’t verified will be able to read my messenges every time I send something. Also, Matrix has coutless clients with different feature sets and I heard calls are a pain to ßet up.

    Signal, on the other hand, just works. Federation and decentralization is obviously nice but a functional product is more importmant. I haven’t had a chance to try XMPP unfortunately.















  • That’s actually a good idea if they’re dealing with such campaigns. See it as the moderators (wo exist either way) directing their attention to places where violations are more likely to happen. Sure, DM monitoring sounds a bit intrusive, but admins reading your DMs was always a possibility and with the right user education, it shouldn’t be an issue.
