The title undersells the change a bit in my opinion. By default, mastodon now encourages new users to sign-up on https://mastodon.social which has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the fediverse. Personally, I’m largely ambivalent to the change; I understand the reasoning, and it’s what https://element.io has been doing for https://matrix.org since the beginning. It is more than a bit of a sea-change though given the…

We currently have the Matrix protocol, with client applications such as Element supporting it. We also have XMPP as another option. Generally more modern than IRC, these platforms are primarily developed as FOSS software. This makes it less likely for developers to impact their users negatively. However, despite these advantages, these platforms lack the refined user experience (addictiveness and stickiness) that…

Matrix is honestly really good, with Element and Cinny being great clients that anyone can use.

I’m using a messaging platform called Element. https://element.io/
It is a electron app.
The issue I am having is, even if I am not in a call. Element will auto-adjust my mic’s volume when it thinks I get too loud.

Riot.im got renamed to Element.io several years ago – See https://element.io/blog/welcome-to-element/. That’s why https://riot.im/ redirects to https://element.io/ now. I can’t answer your question about the account you had before; that entirely depends on which homeserver it was created on. Not sure how long ago you created it, but a lot of clients default to using matrix.org. You might try putting the full…

Not Activitypub, but decentralised – maybe Matrix through Element?
Spaces could be fun!

So to answer your question , it’s better to not take a packaged product (software) that doesn’t has its ingredients (soucre code) listed for people to inspect and don’t trust its convenience. Support other FOSS alternatives like element.

No, I just went to element.io and joined the AWCY? Waiting room. Someone gave me a link to the XD room and the file is there if you look for it. Had to do a lot of scrolling before I figured out how to use the search function.

You might like https://zulip.com/ otherwise I’d recommend checking out https://matrix.org/ (e.g. https://element.io/ ).

That’s actually almost a ripoff of FluffyChat with the pull-up server list from Element’s Android app. And given Matrix is trying to mimic the semantics of Discord servers with spaces, I don’t even like those layouts. Gross.

(FYI, Matrix is a communications standard, and Element it the most popular client which is worked on by the same people who implament the standard.).

If you’re really interested in privacy you’d use an app that’s actually specifically designed for it and has end-to-end encryption. For messages only that’d be Signal, for a more Discord-like experience probably Element.
