I think it has more to do with Matrix is kinda becoming the standard for secure open source messaging server but I do agree with you I would just use what works for you personally.

The site is trash my DNS blocked all their garbage so that’s good.

I have watched them all I agree but the new season of discovery the seem to have finally gotten it right.

I just self host Invidious and put it behind Authelia for SSO.

Not gonna lie if PayPal made a wallet for android i would use it over Google Wallet.

Nope I had to go back to Google Android on my pixel won’t even activate anymore.

Yeah looking into all of this now I might move towards a invite only and keep groups community’s etc unencrypted and moderate them all. Or make community’s etc only allowed with admin approval. UPDATE: we are now invite only working on generating some invite codes if anyone is interested comment below.

Also because of this comment registration is temporary disabled while I disable rooms and spaces, and community’s so it will be messenger/group messages only. More limits may be imposed not sure yet still reading all the options in the docs. Also looking into other methods like disabling encryption on group chats if even possible to deter this.

Zero signups so far so no one really interested and kinda knew that mainly for personal use.

One question what front end is that?
