matrix: open, decentralised network

also matrix: everyone uses matrix.org because doing anything else is miserable

@ariadne i dont really get why FOSS communities don't just use XMPP it is the most practical way to communicate

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@lynn simple. it is a matter of aesthetics: when people think XMPP, they think of clunky chat apps

element looks enough like "discord" that people accept it

[lynn@raru.re]

@ariadne def agree that its some bs optics game. but i do admit that BoB not being standard XMPP and generally "media" being a bit harder. but FR u are kidding yourself if you think u need more than text/images/videos to get anything done in a community

@lynn if someone built a desktop application and mobile application (maybe all of which use the same framework, probably Flutter or something) and did not say it was "XMPP", it would probably do well
