Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
> At that point you've just reimplemented a less-standard version of matrix with extra steps though.
There are IRCv3 specifications that allow this richer experience, and they are at least as standard as Matrix. Check out https://ergo.chat/ with modern clients like https://sr.ht/~emersion/goguma/ (Android), https://git.sr.ht/~emersion/gamja/ https://kiwiirc.com/ (web), or https://git.sr.ht/~taiite/senpai (TUI)
> but in practice using your enhanced server from an unenhanced client will always be painful
IRCv3 normally makes sure new specs don't make it worse for older clients. Could you give me some examples to see if we can fix that?

Long term good standing user account seems to be disabled, is it ok to ask here for advice for what looks like a automated P2P-NET ban?

Looking for a single-room web-based chat client
You can take a look at kiwi irc: https://github.com/kiwiirc/kiwiirc and configure the channels it joins.

Looking for some very specific courses. Voice acting, acting, voice over, narrator stuff, I just wanna know how people do this shit!
Their IRC link is on their homepage. If you don't have an IRC client you can use https://kiwiirc.com/ in browser.

Ergo IRC Server
It depends. There's a lot of people on/around IRC who really like it (see libera and all the other networks), and yeah there definitely are people spinning up new smaller networks. Especially with things like https://sr.ht/~emersion/gamja/ and self-hosted https://kiwiirc.com/ , as well as really polished client experiences like irccloud, it's easier to convince people to join in.
Right now I'm working with a dev from libera on a client that aims to replicate a lot of things experience-wise from newer chat services. Hoping that with that, smaller self-contained servers can become more of a norm~ But for now, your best bets for finding activity are probably Libera and a couple of the other larger networks.

Lispers active anywhere else with a better topical discussion tool?
I use https://kiwiirc.com and it allows me to create a temporary account without an e-mail. I think you need an e-mail if you want to 'reserve' your name

Matrix 2.0: The Future of Matrix
There are quite a few issues that they've stopped fixing in the Element app in favor of doing it in Element X, the one I've been following is where the iOS app causes a breakage in E2EE when you use the share extension, so they just disabled the share extension entirely and said they'd fix in X - https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/7618
But X requires Sliding Sync on the server, which is still a separate service to run alongside the homeserver and doesn't have a stable API, much less a spec (?). I am increasingly disappointed with how centralized Matrix is becoming, since AFAIK there isn't really an alternate client close to the same level of quality as Element.
I probably would've made all of the same decisions myself though, so I don't blame them I'm just a bit disappointed in how it's shaking out.

Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
Element X is an entirely new client written in Rust + Swift UI/Jetpack Compose (https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-ios and https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-android) which will eventually replace the legacy Element apps (https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios and https://github.com/vector-im/element-android).
The features already exist serverside; we're just working on getting them out of beta.

Matrix client Element's Spaces is out of beta
You're being downvoted, but I originally had the same question.
It's actually a native app. It's mostly Objective C, but increasingly written in Swift. https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios
There is clearly room for improvement, but apparently they just hired a handful of new iOS developers to work on it. Good things should be coming soon.
-
Newbie here. I have multiple accounts on Elements, each one with a different username and on a different server. Is there any way to easily switch accounts without having to sign out ?
afaik, there is no "official" way to do it: https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/590
-
Any intention on creating mobile apps?
Sure. Element for Android, iOS, and web

WhatsApp to move ahead with privacy update despite backlash
Every issue I had with Signal, and listed here, is solved.
One issue I have with the Element iOS client is that it doesn't respect system font sizing. So, for older relatives, that app can't be used. I put my mom on something called "Fluffy Chat" though, which does respect font sizes. If Element fixes that, I'll move her back again. It's kinda nice having multiple clients to choose from, though Element is by far the most polished.

Is there an IpadOS App for Beeper?
That lets me assume that they either have a restyled fork of Element, or are directly telling us to use Element.

Slack Ongoing Connection Issues
4. While core functionality is both broken and undocumented, the maintainers announce rabbit hole features that no one asked for and seem very much like distractions, like their recently-announced microblogging view/client[4]
In short the Element maintainers have shown little interest in making the platform accessible to the people who need its differentiating features the most, and have prioritized the "mad science"/technical aspect of their platform at the expense of the human element (end-users and operators).
It'd be cool if Element used their resources to hire some UX folks and community advocates whose sole focus is addressing the horrid accessibility of their platform. I think most users would rather see that than further "mad science".
