For me the ideal replacement would be to have a client supporting both lemmy and matrix. The UI would likely be an abomination tho.

I prefer Matrix communities over Discord servers, but both are mediocre forum replacements. I wish forums would return, but the heydays of PHPBB seem long gone.

Also prefer forums for most stuff, in group chats the relevant info gets lost easily, it’s harder to moderate, and impossible to continue a topic in medium-big communities. I think most people like discord over post because they don’t like the “create topic each time you wanna talk” dynamic, but then everyone started using thread channels the moment discord added them. It could be more reasonable to have one “general” chat then the rest be posts (kinda like amino i guess?), rather that implementing a whole forum inside an instant messaging app.

Do you think this would pass the grandma test? If so I’m 100% going to host this (mainly for my mother, hence the question)

Hard agree on this. Sell software and services to companies, only sell services to end users. I believe both selling your service as a dev and selling a service behind a free app are compatible with copyleft.

“This is completle free to use, download, modify, redistribute, etc by anyone except Dave. Fuck Dave.”

I don’t know how legal that’d be, but i wouldn’t even complain.

Hey, thanks for coming back with the response! I wish there was more conversations in the “public” space.

As for the original post, if I’ve understood correctly, this is more a client problem than a matrix protocol one, right? The next important step would be to have an android client feature the jitsi VOIP calls.

That’s pretty much the only reasonable explanation at this point. If they were afraid of people finding errors it would be beneficial to allow more players to see what’s the program doing. Riot basically confirming they just want to run spyware on SpywareOS.
