Would like to see more messaging services jump in on Matrix protocol. Signal would be huge.
- _-___________-_ 6y agoI would hate to see Signal replace the elegant, carefully designed protocol they use with the bloated, carelessly designed, "IM-over-HTTP" mess that is Matrix.
- anticensor 6y agoBinary transport is already on the roadmap.
- delfinom 6y agoHeh, Matrix is starting to remind me of the giant shitshow that is Lync/Skype for Business and now known as Microsoft Teams with a new skin. Lync is a scary scary thing.
- anticensor 6y agoThey work quite differently under the hood: Microsoft Teams is thick client/thin server, Matrix is thin client/thick server.
- hans1729 6y agoHuge for matrix, yes. For signal to jump on the matrix train, matrix first needs to get their act together with respect to encryption. Try getting non-techsavy folk to set up multiple devices, the process is nowhere near viable right now
- ryukafalz 6y ago>Try getting non-techsavy folk to set up multiple devices, the process is nowhere near viable right now The process of setting up e2e on a new device these days is basically "scan this QR code and push a button" though.
- swiley 6y agoI'm not installing another messaging app until it's federated. I've told everyone sending me signal invites that they can email or sms me.
- f1refly 6y agoIt would be more appropriate for signal to open up to the xmpp fediverse
- feanaro 6y agoWhy more appropriate?
