☁️The recent AWS outage showed how fragile “cloud-based security” can be.

When one datacenter faltered, global communication tools — including Signal — went dark 🌑

🕸️Matrix-based messaging systems kept running because they don’t rely on a single provider.

Resilience = decentralization

Let's invest in open, federated platforms.

@_elena I have been thinking on playing with #matrix and chat and also I want a private kanban solution. So that would be a nice little project.
I have #proxmox as basis so a #Linux VM extra at home is no problem.
All runs in a closet

Important message from my talk!

Exclude Insecure Devices is coming!

After April 2026 (or maybe even sooner), if your Matrix device is unverified, you will not be able to talk to someone who is using Element!

Or any other client complying with MSC4153

Bookmark this thread which has a good discussion on security and anonymity when using #signalapp vs #matrix

@TheDailyBurble, happy to help.

Another cool feature of #XMPP are "gateways" that make it relatively easy to connect with other IMs and protocols. So you can have all these contacts in the same app(s).

e.g.
#Libervia to #ActivityPub and #email (CC @Goffi )

https://nlnet.nl/project/Libervia
https://libervia.org

#Slidge to all sorts of other IM like #Matrix, #Mattermost, #Steam, #Discord, #Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger etc. (CC @nicoco )

Deswegen ist die @kuketzblog Messenger-Matrix super.

#Discord ist auch nicht gerade zu empfehlen.
Wäre toll, wenn deine Community auf Matrix wechselt, oder dort zumindest eine Gruppe/Space entstehen könnte. Eventuell überbrückt zu Discord.

Würde #unplugtrump und #savesocial entgegenkommen.
