    Hopefully the clients get much better. I convinced a few friends to get on Matrix last year… and… boy… it was a terrible experience. Everyone ended up going back to Discord and they probably won’t trust another recommendation from me.

    But I haven’t even escaped the original matrix. Or the matrix reloaded.

    I tried running a matrix server last year. I guess I will try again and see if a normie like me can make it somewhat usable.

      With docker it’s quite easy (assuming you are familiar with docker)

      But docker / containerization is a skill that becomes really really helpful to learn if you are interested in this type of thing.

        What was difficult was the constant security checks, it happened like every time I changed devices and occasionally things were encrypted and unable to be read, it felt totally unusable. It’s true that I don’t quite get docker, I have a few services that run on dcker, but most of them run straight on arch. Yes I know arch isn’t ideal for servers, I’ll fix it next summer during school break

    Epic timing, I want to dive in and see if I can mirror setting up Discord communities in the most painless way possible. This seems to be a great step in the right direction. Imagine a place… where you get the best of both worlds and we can leave Discord behind.
