I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

Matrix’s algorithm is fundamentally broken. I guess it works if you only talk to people you know won’t abuse it, but otherwise it’s easy to split rooms or even re-write their history if you want to…

Damn, I knew it had problems with room stability, but that’s kinda completely ridiculous.

I kind of lost interest when they found out that in a distributed system you can’t delete things
5 monthsbe warned that continuwuity phones home by default to fetch its news and feed it to the admin, you may want to turn that off before booting first time
while i don’t want to throw shade on the developers’ intentions, nor have any real proof of what data is being kept, a fetch request bears by minimum the source ip (which can be geolocated) and the fact that the homeserver exists and runs continuwuity.
i’d suggest a matrix channel as alternative, so hosters can opt-in by joining. plus, by leveraging the matrix protocol, such announcements become federated push notifications, meaning they could come from any homeserver (limiting ip logging) and don’t imply the continued existence of such deployment, or the software which is being run
even converting such mechanism to an opt-out “auto-join announcements channel” would be more privacy respecting

We really want to use Matrix so bad, but none of them have every feature we need to replace discord atm.

Bingpot! Features trump objections, which is how any industry knows it doesn’t really have to listen to users all that much. Deep down, addicts really don’t care if their heroin is ethically sourced from sustainably managed small-lot producers.

Pretty sure those are basic features of a community messaging/vc platform. Can survive perfectly fine and happily with less features if it meant that it was open source or we could host it ourselves.

somebody: makes anything
lemmy: we hate thisI love how the culture of the fediverse is consistent. it hates everything, everywhere, all at once, and all of the time.
I tried to get my friends off of reddit on it and that’s what they always commented about, so they’ll never join.
I use the continuwuity server. Thank you to the devs for all of the hard work!
I’m trying so hard not to hate this post but you have given me so many reasons to
-
use of UwU in something I absolutely need to share with others
-
mismatched fonts
-
comic something font
-
no human readable data next to the QR code
-
mismatched gradient radii in the corners
Make it stop 😭
EDIT: For those who care, this comment falls into the category of “said in jest, meant in earnest”. I know it’s all on-brand and comedic, but my gut reactions are what they are 😂

This is the homeserver written in Rust, right?
A suggestion: wherever a QR code is included, the human-readable content should be included next to it. Not everyone has a QR code reader handy, or their reader has the bad habit of immediately opening links or apps. In this case, I see that it just goes to https://continuwuity.org/ and is benign, but others may be apprehensive at naked QR codes.
(there’s obviously an exception for QR codes that are intended to convey machine info, like TOTP codes)
I was very excited when I started seeing QR codes gaining popularity. That excitement was quickly shattered when everyone just started using them improperly and they just made everything more annoying 😮💨
