And I just joined another #Fediverse project (#Matrix) so that I can write about it for a future issue of #thefutureisfederated
LOVING the #Element app - it looks really modern and elegant. And it’s very intuitive and easy to use.
If you have any Matrix rooms to recommend, I’m all ears 🤗
Funny how this blog post of mine from 5 DAYS ago is already out-of-date, as I “only” had 9 Fediverse accounts then: https://blog.elenarossini.com/fediverse-summer-3-lessons/
@[email protected] I would love to play with Matrix more but as far as I know none of my contacts are on it
@[email protected] ok so from what I’m seeing, Matrix has incredible integrations (bridges) with Slack, Discord, Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, etc… so you may be able to communicate with your friends using these bridges https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/ (disclaimer: it’s my day 2 on Matrix and I’m not sure yet how to make a bridge work)
@_elena Some of the companies that host those messaging services aren’t amenable to third parties accessing them and will close your accounts. That’s enough of a reason (there are others) for me not to play with the bridges. At least with accounts I care about.
If you’re braver than me you might wanna give Beeper a whirl. Their business model is to package a nice, customized Matrix client and lots of bridges in an easily digestible package. https://www.beeper.com
@[email protected] thank you for the brilliant suggestion Juan! Woooow!!! Definitely “brave enough” to try Beeper, LOL. And it was purchased by Automattic, which is a really good sign IMHO. I can’t thank you enough! Will try it ASAP
