The EU is pushing to scan ALL private messages, even encrypted ones, endangering privacy, security, and fundamental freedoms across 450 million people.

This is mass surveillance disguised as child protection, and it breaks encryption, risks false accusations, and threatens democracy worldwide.

Everyone is now realizing that WhatsApp is evolving towards its latest form (https://archive.md/L3W74). If you value secure messaging, you may want to check out @signalapp or @matrix (wich is #federated). EPFL also has its own Matrix instance at https://matrix.epfl.ch (use @element as a client).

#SecureMessaging#WhatsApp#WhatsappAlternative#Signal#Matrix#Element#Privacy#SelfHosted

Does anyone know why Matrix doesn't notify you when a picture message is received? It's super annoying. And I say Matrix instead of naming a client because every single client refuses to notify for it so I imagine it's something in the spec.

#Matrix#MatrixChat#Element#ElementChat#SchildiChat#FOSS

Curiously, @element seems to have pivoted their free client towards being more of a BBQ app. Presumably they offer more of a banquet version to enterprise users of their hosted service? Given the licensing of the Element apps, they could do that without publishing source code for it.

#chat#Matrix#Element

I use ElementX almost exclusively for 1:1 DMs, and I suspect this is the market they're pivoting to. Leaving the team chat uses cases to other outfits like Gitter;

... ProcessOne (eJabberD);

... RocketChat;

... and so on.

Is there anything like Schildichat Next for iOS? I have a friend who cannot use the Spaces feature in Element X, and cannot join LiveKit/Element Call voice chats in Element Classic. It would be great if there was a client which supported both of these and was on iOS.

There's been a lot of negativity around #Matrix and #Element recently. And I (somewhat) joined in and expressed my frustration with it every now and then. Something I still appreciate around #Matrix is the fact, that they listen to (most of) the criticism and acknowledge (many of) their problems. There's a nice self-critical video addressing all of this recent criticism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyuqM7RbX5E

La Francia rende obbligatorio l’utilizzo di una sua chat di Stato. Al bando definitivamente Whatsapp e simili nella PA (Telegram e Signal), promossa invece a pieno titolo Tchap, la app di casa dedicata espressamente a tutti i dipendenti pubblici dello Stato.
L’app è costruita su #Element, un client open source che utilizza il protocollo #Matrix, anch’esso open source. Questa architettura consente la gestione sicura sia dei contenuti che dei metadati.

> Between the slow performance, the increasing amount of spam, the miserable web client, and the unfinished state of Element X, the Matrix.org network is not something I am willing to continue to recommend, especially to non-technical users. Normal people are simply tolerating it to communicate with idealistic nerds like myself who insist(ed) on using it.

> The platform is cumbersome for newcomers and lacks user-facing features that people actually want, while simultaneously overexposing complex settings like roles, permissions, and addresses. Even overloaded platforms like Discord ultimately focus on what users want: Dumb emojis and stickers, silly color themes, and intuitive server and friend management. Matrix, by contrast, feels like it was built for compliance departments and bureaucrats, not communities.
