  Revolt is F/OSS

    That doesn’t really change that it’s one company hosting it. Unless you’re willing to make 10 different accounts because your super-FOSS friends aren’t willing to join each others instances?

      I guess the easy solution here to to make it use oauth2 authentication. Then you can just authenticate using one account elsewhere. If fediverse services also at some point become oauth2 providers, then even better.

        That’s still not a solution. That entails non unified communication, access, and search. Making it easy to log in to others still doesn’t solve easy sharing between others. Also oauth2 is a pain to set up, and many people hosting their own instance aren’t going to bother.

  Nheko provides an interface that is reminiscent of Discord. Fully featured and fast Matrix client.

    Thank you for the recommendation. I tried element a while ago and found it lacking. Matrix must be the way forward. Disregarding IRC of course.

  Sadly I found out yesterday:

  Matrix is not a community-based software, it was born [00] in Amdocs [01], a multinational corporation founded in Israel.

  hackea.org/notas/matrix.html

  Many were claiming its impossible to get contributions merged as well.

  I would be happy to find out this information is wrong or outdated.

    Feels like fud.

    Matrix is a set of standards and governed by an open foundation matrix.org/foundation/about/

    Also there are many different server implementations and its hard to believe they all send your data to some third entity.

    In other words, smells like classic misinform and even worse, just attempts to trow shit at some other project for some obscure reasons.
