   I wish more people used Matrix with me. It really is a beautiful blend between Slack and Signal, except federated and secure.

     @freeschool Thanks:) You can start using @matrix at the Matrix.org instance: https://matrix.org/try-matrix/

     My lab self-hosts Matrix and accesses it through our @nextcloud instance: https://handbook.medlab.host/technology

     @ntnsndr How? For example what the solid steps laid for a new friend to follow who is fresh to this...

     (I think this would help to say or solidify here now people are watching)

     @ntnsndr @matrix It's at the top of my "things to try self-hosting" list.

     Not to chat with you though ;-)

     I just want a little unfederated instance which:

     - we can use with the kids instead of whatever random chat app they have right now (no phone numbers, so no Signal)
     - I can bridge with my WhatsApp so I can try daily-driving my Pinephone and park the Android in a drawer. And no, I'm not trying to strongarm my local, non-techie home-ed parent community off WhatsApp. At least not right now.

     @catalystcoop What's the hang-up? I've maintained it through @cloudron and never had issues.

     @ntnsndr @matrix It sounds great. I've tried to get it working several times in the past and have thus far always failed.

     @ntnsndr Which client do you use? I tried a few but they were quite painful. I trust Signal enough that it wasn't worth it.

     @robin I think the standard Element one is fine.

     @fexplorer @matrix Oh that's good to know, I wasn't aware of that. I hope those issues get resolved soon!

     Unfortunately, the #Element #Matrix client has some #Accessibility #Issues. So one can't currently suggest it for #blind users.
     But maybe it could help for more attention to boost the quoted post.

     @ntnsndr @matrix
     Unfortunately for #Matrix for me…

     ⚠️ …most of the ambient encounters and proseletyzing for it have come from unrepetant techbros, problematic TESCREAL types, and cryptocurrency folks

     ⚠️ …it seems to have bubbled out of the "Web3" cauldron; I've never seen the founders disavow or create distance

     ⚠️ …I cannot look past the hubris of a white guy founder squatting on the Matrix name, especially in the context of "redpill" appropriation that was already a thing 😒

     2⚠️ = 1🚩

     @toolbear I honestly have never seen any Web3 use of it; Web3 tends to inhabit X/Discord/Telegram in my experience. Matrix tends to be more DWeb people from what I can tell.

     @ntnsndr On your website you shouldn't link to whatever the address bar says when using Element (or other clients). If you want to link a room, set a published address in room settings first, then right click the room and "copy room link." If you want to link to a profile, you can use matrix.to, eg. https://matrix.to/#/@ntnsndr:matrix.org .
