@dansup @pixelfed I don't know if it will be possible, consider joining 301works.org to backup redirects and have them work in case you shut it down.

@jebba @aral @jalcine @element @amatecha @matrix @liaizon Matrix was created & initially funded at Amdocs. When funding got cut, creators started a company which became Element. You may disagree w/ what Element does as a company, but Matrix (protocol) is #FOSS. U can review homesevers' code, u can review spec, u can even review Element apps' code, & u can use other 3rd party clients w/o touching Element. Ur friends & enemies use FOSS. That's what it means to be free & open. Anyone can use it.

@jebba You're conflating Element and Matrix. Matrix is managed by Matrix Foundation, which has "guardians" that are not part of Element. If Matrix is institutionally compromised then every single #FOSS is compromised, too, because they do what other FOSS do. No more, no less.

@aral @jebba #FOSS is for everyone, including enterprises & govs. That's the nature of open & free. Like it or not. What Element does is their business & I can't comment on their biz strategy. What's important here is to not conflate Element & Matrix. Matrix is a protocol managed by Matrix Foundation. If you don't like Element providing some funding to the foundation, you probably should stop using every FOSS out there as most received funding from questionable orgs, govs & individuals 🤷

@atomicpoet @ekana How does it compare with Matrix? If they can create custom lexicons, instant messaging would be possible too. I remember reading that Matrix didn't meet their needs when they were evaluating protocols before building ADX, which became AT protocol now.

@atomicpoet Thanks for breaking it down. Basically, BlueSky miniaturized how the internet works 🤣 PDS = PC, BGS = Google, App View = Google's search algorithm. Nothing new, technically.
