@valkyrie@wandering.shop this is very cool

@pelle @faket https://simplex.chat/docs/server.html you can host your own server, but it has to be added manually and everyone you talk to must add it and select it to use it for how their messages get routed and the like

@bob@beamship.mpaq.org @openess@skrivel.se it depends on the homeserver whether they require a email or not :) its not a matrix wide thing

@reflex @dyne have you not heard of draupnir and other projects to help moderate rooms on matrix? and there's policy servers now to fully block messages before users in rooms receive them

@setto @reflex @dyne it can be both, if the UX isnt good it can lead to even technical people to be confused and lose access to their keys, good UX needs to be easy to understand and work well for people to not be guided on how to get the keys backed up so they dont lose access

@reflex @dyne are you talking about matrix here or not? if so what apps only connect to the "main" instance? this sounds like stoat not matrix what AI spaghetti code? matrix has supported SSO for ages and the spec itself is moving towards native OAuth. Auth methods are up to the server admins, even matrix.org has various social login options like github and google

@reflex @dyne then please state what alternatives you are talking about :) to me it read like issues matrix has

@reflex @dyne that was before policy servers were a thing :) they can stop media being sent at all and please report UX issues to the applications, so they can be improved

@arcanechat @GerhardD rooms on matrix arent centralised, they are hosted on all servers that have a user in the room so if the server the room was created on goes down, other users in the room on other HS's can still talk just fine :)

@finn@social.0x520.eu @ls@social.lsnet.eu element classic used jitsi widget for group calls, for 1:1 calls it used native calls with a turn/stun if the users cant directly connect to each other

@finn@social.0x520.eu @ls@social.lsnet.eu correct, I should've specified that my bad

@elephouse@social.tchncs.de @_elena@mastodon.social switching from signal to telegram makes 0 sense, going from a always encrypted chat app to one where in house e2ee not all rooms/chats are encrypted and not all clients support it
