It’s an open protocol. That’s like complaining about the internet because you were able to find objectionable websites. Matrix doesn’t pay anyone to police everyone who decides to run a server.
Not Matrix, the server you were using.
Holy smokes, it’s my most-used feature. I broadcast to the whole house any time there’s something important. Friend at the front door, pill reminders, time to do this or that, etc.
My fave that isn’t terminal based is Nheko.
True, but there’s nothing stopping some client from dreaming up a custom message that labels some previous message “unread”. It would only work in that client though.

That’s it! Thanks!
There’s a paper from like 30 years ago about how you can never verify an executable because you don’t know that your compiler isn’t doing something nefarious. And if you do know that somehow, you don’t know it about it’s compiler, and so on. Scary a stuff.
That’s what Mastadon does. I’m on a very specific server, and I mostly follow folks on that server. But I can still follow anyone, of course.
We’re “free speech” except these first 4 categories we could name off the top of our heads. There will never be any reason to add to this list. Adding to that list wouldn’t be “free speech”!
I care about privacy and security so much that I don’t let a third-party own my chats, encrypted or not. I’m fine with unencrypted metadata on my server that’s in my own home.
Thanks!
Care to hook me up with that css?
Sublime Music is my favorite.
Astrovim too.
Kindof a pain. I use the Docker container, but then run another Postgres server that it connects to. You also need a TURN server, but I use a hosted version, since it’s something that my family actually uses like twice a month. Oh, then you need a domain setup, I use Cloudflare to punch the whole into my home network…
Just thinking about it makes me tired. haha. But I did it all once, and now I just upgrade the Docker container every couple months. Been running smoothly for a few years now.
If you wanna chat about it, I’m on Matrix! lol. @phil [colon] kulak.us
I run a Synapse server for just my family. It’s great.
Look into Matrix bridges. If you can’t, or don’t want to do all that, check out Beeper. Small monthly fee, but you’re paying someone else to setup and maintain all of it for you.
I only think of a First Lady.
