@debacle @sbb @chiraag @tortie @waeiski @Mer__edith Except that Matrix has shittier crypto and the federated model just multiplies the problems you have with a central server. So keep on using it, Matrix is nice. Just don't depend on it for activist purposes.

But using a bootloader unlocked phone means that your data is instantly accessible for any cop who seizes your phone, so you're fucked that way anyhow.

@ljrk @debacle @chiraag @tortie @waeiski @Mer__edith I'm not a fan of either because from time to time the chat rooms have been known to sort of blow up. Also entering chat rooms can freeze if one has been absent from them for a long time.

@sbb @ljrk @debacle @chiraag @tortie @waeiski @Mer__edith wdym they can freeze if one has been absent from them for a long time?

@haise @ljrk @debacle @chiraag @tortie @waeiski @Mer__edith That happened to me recently using , trying to get into some FOSDEM chatrooms, after being away from a Matrix account for a year. Restarting Element again helped.

@sbb @ljrk @debacle @chiraag @tortie @waeiski @Mer__edith do you mean you hadnt touched your matrix client for over a year and reopening element caused it to freeze or joining a room caused it to freeze?

@haise @ljrk @debacle @chiraag @tortie @waeiski @Mer__edith I set up a pre-existing Matrix account in a fresh Element install. The rooms were already joined in that account, just not visited for a year.
