I read this as fat 💀

isnt signal a nonprofit? not a corporation

From what I saw it was quite left leaning when I used it

There’s a beta you can try using a test branch app on their staging servers, you’ll need to make a new account with your number again and there has been issues where its leaked your number

I love how literal devs had to come in and ask them to stop lmao

Not yet but it’s being worked on and it’s close now

Use a different homeserver for matrix and it’s way faster then the default matrix.org one for the element clients servers joinmatrix.org is a good list

Framework probably

Depends which hard left, I know hard/far left people who hate them

Pixel 6 series and 7 have 5 years and now 7 with the 8 series

Compared to almost all other android phone marker it’s decent and https://endoflife.date/pixel starting with the pixel 6 gen they got 5 years now 7 with the pixel 8

didnt the silk road guy use his IRL name for it somewhere and was bragging about it in someway, I remember reading that he didnt have any opsec at all

yeah epic might have a chance if they actually tried to make their launcher and client good and have similar features as steam

The proxy is needed until sliding sync is finalised and merged into the spec and implemented into clients

I didnt even think about that lmao

Check out cinny.in it’s a discord styled client for matrix

Theres valid reasons to not like discord or not being FOSS isn’t one of them personally

How does it have lemmy integration?

Discord has decent UX and the voice channels are great and easy to use, it’s far from garbage, just because it isn’t open source and technically matrix is mainly made/maintained by one company who made it at the same time, they don’t own it and there’s a separate entity the matrix foundation which is non profit which owns the actual spec and all that stuff but the majority of stuff done in the spec was by element/new vector

Did you try with your own self hosted server or something being hosted by someone else/a company?
