Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Are group video and audio calls encrypten?
Group voice and video calls are not E2EE, and use Jitsi, but this is expected to change with Native Group VoIP Signalling.
-
So there's no online messaging service that's private, anonymous and secure?
DMs in Matrix are always E2EE, and MSC3401: Native Group VoIP Signalling means there should be E2EE in group calls.

Native Matrix VoIP with Element Call
From my perspective, the really exciting thing about this that it works equally well in mobile web browsers as well as desktop web - clicking on a link on Mobile Safari should Do The Right Thing without having to install anything.
Moreover, because it's built on Matrix, MSC3401 (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/matthew/group-...) means that we'll finally have decentralised cascading video/voice conferences once the SFU (selective forwarding unit) component is added into the mix. So, for instance, users on the same homeserver will get their video feeds relayed locally with minimal latency... and then users on another remote homeserver will also get mixed locally with minimal latency, trunking the two together. If the link dies or one homeserver dies, the conference will keep going - i.e. precisely the same semantics as normal Matrix.

Signal is more secure than Telegram from my understanding, but the fact that it needs a phone number makes me wary
What metadata does Matrix protect? Encrypted state events still aren't a thing for example https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3414 This means that server admins know what groups a given account is a member of, private or not, and they also have a general idea of what the topic of said groups are, even if they're encrypted. This would be a problem for groups about sensitive personal medical issues, like a private HIV survivors or Alcoholics Anonymous group.
-
For those suggesting Guilded, Revolt, Signal, or what ever else as Discord alternatives, consider this potential problem inherent in those alternatives, even if two of them are open source
The protocol itself is flexible and can be changed through spec change proposals on their Github. They're currently working on implementing threads, and they recently implemented spaces, which functionally combine the concept of Discord servers and server folders. They can also be nested.

Discord is a black hole for information
Something we're trying to do about this on the Matrix side is MSC2716 (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/matthew/msc271...) - the ability to import archives of existing content into Matrix, and thus 'lock it open' and decentralise it for posterity: as long as one of the servers participating in that room stays alive (and the room is set up with infinite data retention, obviously) then the conversation will live on forever. (That MSC is also well worth a look for those interested in how Matrix works under the hood; MSC2716 was a surprisingly tricky problem to solve but it's basically finished now!).
Our first step will be to import all of Gitter's archives into Matrix - but we're then planning to add MSC2716 to all the existing Matrix bridges so that folks can use it to liberate chat history from Discord and Slack if desired, and avoid it getting paywalled/siloed/lost/held-hostage forever. We're also expecting to do USENET, mailing lists, forums, public IRC channels which have explicitly opted into logging... and generally archive as much possible in an open decentralised fashion, and ensure that gatekeepers can't lock up and blackhole info going forwards. After all, information longs to be free :)

Wire is now on F-Droid
This is an accident of history and will eventually be corrected: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/2678.
It is certainly not intended that new features are unencrypted, but unfortunately sometimes it happens in order for features to get added sooner.

Show HN: Matrix-CRDT – real-time collaborative apps using Matrix as backend
On the Matrix side we've been keeping a close eye on JMAP, which operates in a fairly similar space to our new 'sliding sync' protocol (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/kegan/sync-v3/...). We would love to adopt JSCalendar & JSContact in Matrix if they are good to go :)

Ask HN: Recommendations for an alternative native chat client? (Slack, Discord)
As some others have said, matrix is great at this.
I use this ansible playbook to set it all up: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy it supports slack and discord too.
You can also use beeper which is hosted if you don't want to self host. They employ one of the major bridge Devs so they know what they're doing.
There's also element one from the Devs of matrix but they don't support all services you're looking for.

Self Hosting Matrix Server
You could maybe check out this URL about setting up Oracle free tier but it could be outdated. I just recommend using the Matrix Ansible Playbook

How to access the synapse-admin web ui?
I installed my home server via the ansible playbook, gave myself admin privileges and then enabled the api in the playbook. The playbook sets up the server with a reverse proxy and im geting an error 'NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource' when i enter in my credentials.

What's the easiest way to use Matrix and add matrix-bridges for Messenger, Instagram, and Telegram etc.
I actually recommend checking out https://etke.cc/ around Matrix setup and more. As someone who's stood up Matrix a couple times in past (including a go-around with the aforementioned matrix-docker-ansible-deploy), I knew some of the pitfalls were still there in setup, and this go-around I lacked the time to manage a Matrix-specific VPS on top of my other local/remote services, esp. since I wanted to use it with friends and family and thus needed it to be bullet-proof (as well as me-proof!)
