That project doesn't do federation, according to the issue tracker. Federation is the thing that makes PeerTube so special.

I love FluffyChat. Been using it for a month now and it's significantly faster than Element/SchildiChat on Android. It has the basic chat features I would expect from a Matrix application. Only feature I don't think it has c

That was the case a few years ago. Matrix' server software has improved a lot since then. It doesn't use much resources anymore. Though there still is a large CPU spike when I join a really large room (500+ users) for the first ti

Stallman is only one person on the board. It's quite a proven strategy to have people with vastly different skillsets on the board of an organisation. In FSF's case, Stallman might be a good fit to contribute his software freedom

This is a fastly growing messaging startup we're talking about. You may be right, but to me it sounds highly unlikely they haven't had to make even the slighest patch to their server code in 10 months.

This works with the assumption that parents have enough disposible income to fully maintain their children well into their 20's. Which isn't always the case.

> Recommended specs will include 16GB RAM only for synapse, SSD storage, etc. What? If you want a server for 200+ users, yes maybe. But 2GB of RAM is plenty for hosting a few active users federating in large chats.

That's an odd claim. What's your source? As a longish time Matrix user I've never experienced scalability issues due to federation. The federation actually works pretty well. Scalability from Matrix comes/came due to the

Yeah, though the performance issues are getting (much) better now that the server software Synapse has more options for scaling. Here's a blog post with the changes they made: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/11&#

Big fan of SchildiChat on Android! It's Element but with patches to give it extra optional features like chat bubbles and an (experimental) mode which hides 'complex' features nontechnical users might find confusing.

That is only the case when you have verified your friends keys (by qr code or emoji string). When one of your friends account is hijacked and has someone snooping on messages, you'd want to know that. Though I see it might be confusing

Your first link lists a lot of tickets than actual performance issues. Searching on an issue tracker for the word 'performance' is not a good source for claiming there are performance issues. Synapse used to have scaling issues. T

That depends on what you want with privacy. If you'd want to chat anonymously, having to use your real phone number is a bummer. At least in my country, it's getting harder and harder to get a SIM-card that is not tied to your nam
