Matrix pretty much does the same thing as Jabber/XMPP, but its main client Element (available on the web and also as a wrapped desktop client on many Linux distributions) makes it like a free and open-source alternative to Discord. If you use Element and treat it as Matrix itself, it's pretty simple to the average Joe. Visit https://element.io/ for that. (I hope this doesn't trigger that spam filter in your countries). As Dep said in another email, Matrix and their homeserver matrix.org is pretty untrustworthy. Matrix was funded by Amdocs, a subsidiary of the Mossad from what I heard. Thankfully there are many other homeservers disconnected from the main Matrix group, my personal favorite and what I use to host the TDE room and my account is halogen.city. Use https://halogen.chat/ for their web client (Element). -- ~ Hunter ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
