The fediverse is the network of federated decentralized social media using activitypub to connect. Lemmy (the software on which chapo.chat is based) will be in some months part of this network.
What do you think about fediverse ? Are some of you using Mastodon as a twitter replacement ?
Oh please it would be so cool to have Matrix server / element client for Chapo ! Be aware that Matrix servers scale not really good and become very hard to run very fast. ( I used to administer one)
I've been curious about that. Is that true if the large channels aren't end-to-end encrypted?
I wonder how XMMP compares scalability wise. OMEMO encryption seems nice but it might have the same scalability problem.
EDIT: Maybe large chat rooms should not be encrypted at all. They are public communications- encrypting is pointless.
it is essentially in database that it takes a lot of space. In computing power it is okay-ish. Also e2e encryption changes nothing since it is encrypted and decrypted in the client. Also, XMPP is dead, and has no clients, Matrix is a way better alternative to discord than XMPP, sadly.
In my experience xmpp servers are a lot easier to run and manage and and clients like conversations (Android), dino (Linux/bsd), and gajim(windows/Linux/osx) are all amazing clients. However all the iOS clients suck and for large groupchats with iOS clients and outdated other clients joining they will definitely not be able to use omemo properly.
Matrix on the other hand has an okay, but sometimes slow web/electron client that runs on all platforms, but at least last I checked ONLY that one client reaaally supports e2e encryption and other modern features. Xmpp definitely feels like a more diverse project while matrix feels like it’s nearly completely lead by riot/element. Which definitely is a bit concerning to me.
