OK… Google “matrix identity server” since you don’t know what I’m trying to say.

No, to be searchable by your friends you have to attach your matrix ID to your phone number and upload it to an identity server, which anyone can run of course but which is useless unless its the new vector identity server. It’s a central database of verified matrix IDs.

Now you’re just making excuses for new vector/matrix

Meh, I use it. I’ll take it over Discord or Telegram any day. But I don’t use it for anything that may be sensitive or anything involving IRL people.

It’s leaky. I remember all media were uploaded unencrypted and available over https, I don’t know if it is still like that. Lots and lots of metadata out in the open. To be searchable you have to give your phone number to a centralized service. The protocol is overly complex, all messages live on all servers of everyone involved in the conversation, lots of duplication, but ActivityPub is like that too and we are on Lemmy…

If I set my own stuff up, I prefer XMPP, and increasingly Simplex. If some project uses matrix, I have an account and will talk to them there.

Overall I’m not a fan, but I don’t outright hate it.

Theres a lot of metadata that’s not encrypted in matrix, some of which goes to matrix.org no matter what server youre using.

Signal publishes a unique identifier and the board is like 50% feds with close intelligence ties. I use it, but only for those that insist. It’s better than the other mainstream ones.

Use simplex.

All of what you have said is incorrect. I can’t fault you for forming a hypothesis on this though, colors are weird and can be difficult to understand, with the spectrum as one way to define, then RGB/CMYK being the way colors are calculated for screen/print, it can be confusing. When talking about a rainbow we are talking about the visible light spectrum.

Indigo is a shade in between blue and violet. There is no red in indigo, just as there is no red in green. There is also no red in violet.

“Purple” is just magenta; it is a mix of red and blue, it is not on the spectrum at all and is actually your eyes/visual cortex seeing both colors at the same time overlapping.

This is in fact not true.

I’ve tried Liftoff (fork of Lemmur that is actually maintained and pretty great) and Thunder as well as Jeroba and Lemmur, they’re both better.

Thunder is very iOS-esque and plain, Liftoff has the weird bottom layout Lemmur does, and inherits some strange UX quirks from it such as not storing last sorting preference, not having “block community” in the hamburger menu for posts, and sorting replies by “hot”. Itst actively maintained so I’m sure it will improve, and it’s the most stable and useful mobile Lemmy client I’ve tried so far.

I have not tried any closed source clients and will not do so.
