There's a lot of people here, and I would like to see a chatroom for the community to discuss mostly general and non-relevant topics.
The Matrix protocol is a good way to have a proper, encrypted, private community of people without sacrificing too much.
It's easy to sign up if you just wanna talk, but there's a lot more you can do for your privacy, like self-hosting or choosing a client that prioritizes security, or if you're more about lightwieght there's clients for you too, etc. etc.
It's incredibly customizable and very private by default, going up to probably the most private FOSS messaging protocol I have ever seen.
Should I start a room or will one of you? Mods also please take notice.
Yeah I recently started using matrix/Element and it definitely seems like the most reliable chat client to me. Better than telegram and obviously better than discord.
I'm using the client Nheko-Reborn and it's pretty good. Emulates the feel of Discord without any of the tranny-Janny and unclosable BLM popup nonsense.
Although, I would actually suggest nobody use the matrix.org home server. They've actively stated that they are left-wing radicals (not outright but just read their blog).
TL;DR matrix good. this message is not sponsored.
