Same. As an instance admin, I like to read other admins’ experiences with new version updates and being aware of possible attacks/issues in the fediverse.

I got the email too but can’t install from TestFlight.

If apps are native, I think it makes sense. No one watches short videos from PC.

I will. I was asking from CPU power and price perspective though.

When I decided to try XMPP, I had to do a lot of research to decide which applications I should use for the server and client. I did not experience this in Matrix. And yes, I know Matrix is ​​not stable. I am not against that. It’s just easier to get on board.

If we told two people to use these two software independently, they would start using Matrix much more faster than XMPP. I think this is enough to call it uncomplicated.

Also, would you recommend Snikket server (or Prosody) for 1:1, group calls and screen sharing?

I don’t want to defend Matrix. I agree that it is not stable and lightweight. However, I believe it is simpler than XMPP. Wanna set up a server? Synapse. Need a client? Element. The default softwares are easy for new users to discover.

Also, the fact that Matrix has a single protocol means that in theory all servers and clients can work with each other (Although I know we are far from that at the moment). It is much better than XMPP’s XEPs in terms of simplicity.

It’s not that I don’t like XMPP. I want a stable, encrypted, federated messaging platform. However, in terms of money and motivation, Matrix seems to be closer to that right now.

way less complex

I don’t agree with this.

Huge!

Ensuring that Unable To Decrypt (UTD) bugs never happen. Huge amounts of work has gone into this over the course of the year, especially via complement-crypto as a comprehensive end-to-end-test suite for both matrix-rust-sdk and matrix-js-sdk based Matrix clients. We are finally at the point where UTDs are so rare that most people simply never see them.

Of course not. There is no limit. I just gave it as an example.

I still think it will not explode bandwidth and storage, but I can’t argue because I don’t have any valid evidence :)

The reason I say this is that communities take up a few bytes in the database and if there is no activity (post/comment), they don’t use any bandwidth either.

However, I can’t say anything about the organic /all tab argument. It’s a matter of preference. Kind of funny one.

I need to register on bsky.app to log in. Where is the federation in this?

Thx I just downloaded the stable one 🙏

Then I guess you’re really doing everything from scratch. I just tried stable beta and it looks really good. There are some small things, but I guess that’s the reason why it’s beta :) Yes, I was using it for moderation, but I’m gonna happily wait.

I just realized there are Markdown buttons too :)

Video support 🫡

Is there a link for beta?

Why a user should use your instance where there are other free alternatives though?

Who will keep the money? Who will calculate what users will have to pay? Who will verify that the money is being used for the purpose it was paid for? How will bringing crypto payments to fediverse increase users, considering that 99% of people have never used crypto before? What will happen to the data of users who decide not to pay anymore? Let’s assume that all instances offer paid membership; wouldn’t monopoly occur if a corporate/suspicious instance offers completely free membership? Wouldn’t offering paid memberships hold instance admins legally liable?

Who will leave the mainstream platforms that are completely free and have many more users, and then pay and use a platform that is 1 in 100,000 times the size?

Even though I received a donation of about $10 for 1 year, I think the current system should continue. If money is involved in something, it would be abused.

Money involvement = enshitification

Let fediverse be unprofitable.

nice stuff.

@ptz@dubvee.org I have cleaned these and some other bot accounts from my instance. I was ok to open registrations to this point because we were able to get reports for almost every activity and we could easily manage them. But unfortunately Lemmy does not have a regulatory mechanism for votes, so I’ll keep it manual approval until then.

Also it looks like they’re manually creating accounts since we had captcha + email approval in our instance from the beginning. So this means that even with manual approvals, a botnet can be created – just in a delayed manner.
