This is an excellent post by @funbreaker about why Matrix is unsuitable as a communications tool.
I've personally not had this issue, but the on-boarding was so bad it was hard to find any active rooms at all.
The rooms I'm in seem nice enough but overall I'm not impressed and it seems like the admin and user tools around safety are badly lacking.
I'm not sure what the benefit is over say an IRC server.

Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people isn’t limited in its goal to erasing Palestinians in Gaza by murdering them, creating conditions unsuitable for life, and ethnically cleansing them. The goal of Zionists is to erase and silence Palestinians completely. And that includes erasing them from cultural events and even from online spaces.
This is why Gaza Verified exists: to protect their voices here on the fediverse at least.
Here’s an idea: Every time you see a Zionist attempt to erase Palestinians, why not take look at the list of our families and friends from Gaza who are part of our fediverse community and see if you can help one of them.

Eventi sismici, ML 4.3 e ML 4.1, in provincia di Ravenna del 13 gennaio 2026
Un terremoto di magnitudo Richter ML 4.3 è stato registrato dalla Rete Sismica Nazionale alle ore 09:27 italiane del 13 gennaio 2026, 7 km a sud-ovest di Russi (provincia di Ravenna). Dopo quasi due minuti, alle ore 09:29 italiane, è stato localizzato un secondo evento di magnitudo ML 4.1, con epicentro a circa 4 km di distanza dal primo, 8 km ad est di Faenza (RA). La profondità ipocentrale dei due eventi è stata rispettivamente di 23 e 22 chilometri.

If you are a child of the '80s, when kids now are talking about the 1980s, that's like someone talking about the 1940s when you were a kid.

I feel very attacked.
People Magazine is the only one to get the headline right so far.
@rbreich it was all projection. Every single bit of it.
@S1m The other way round (making XMPP apps wake up upon receiving WebPush notifications) is currently not standardized. We are talking about a Push Notifications 2.0 XEP and I have been advocating for using WebPush but I have also met some resistance because XMPP server devs aren't super keen on a hard dependency to HTTP.
And personally I find the other direction, making the XMPP client a distributor, much more interesting.
@daniel On Linux, the need is clearly the other way around, mobile distributions will likely come with their default service
If you use the words 'growth rate' as a positive in any way that's not talking about your junk (actually, no, including that), you should get defenestrated
Bon après un siècle de grippe et fièvre (temps ressenti), je refais des petites BD pour les internets. Donc ou ouvre le bal de 2026 officiellement, et j'en profite pour vous re-souhaiter une bonne année, vous re-remercier de votre soutien sans faille, des bises partout où souhaitées, et on se souhaite mutuellement une année un brin moins dystopique ! :D
@Shyle Feel good bd en vrai. Bravo à toi shyle puissance 10000 !
@paulgatling The Banana PI BPI R1 which stands out for the SATA port and switch.

That looks like fun! I doubt I have the chops to get openbsd running on it..
@Alice My butt once won a secret booty contest at school, however I got in trouble when the dean found out.
I framed the referral on my wall, though. Such a catastrophy...
@raycunningham "Ministers plan to fast-track new Irish laws transposing the EU AI Act, allowing companies that misuse artificial intelligence to face heavy fines of up to €35m or 7pc of global turnover."
The EU AI Act is a Regulation, meaning it has direct effect in every EU member state: no domestic legislation is required to transpose it into national law.

All you need to know to understand how actually-existing crapitalism operates.
(You don't deal with a mafia organization by fining them on a per-offense basis: you deal with them by jailing their leaders, confiscating all their assets, and ruthlessly hunting down all their cronies.)
It would be a mistake to see Trumpism as authoritarianism imposed on an unwilling nation, as opposed to authoritarianism implemented in a nation with a plurality that is already made up of authoritarian bootlickers who created the context for Trumpism to thrive.

Nice term: defensive subordinated organization. (An example would be standard labor unions, through which workers defend or even advance their interests while leaving capital in control.)
They say you should only speak good of the dead. Scott Adams is dead. Good.
