  🐳 Matrix (An open network for secure, decentralized communication) server setup using Ansible and Docker

this is a really cool project, and a great curation effort. there are ansible scripts which they recommend for self-hosting: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy -- most of the bridges (mirrored to their GitLab org) appear to be unmodified from upstream.

  ⚗️ a privacy centric matrix client

  

While I think the core focus of Beeper as a cross platform messenger is great, the bigger positive here in my opinion is a matrix client with good UX and design. The user experience portrayed here is much more in line with what is required to get people less technical on one decentralized/federated network, such as matrix. I’m currently working towards the same effort, in a very different stage of development, in that regard with https://github.com/syphon-org/syphon.

Props to Eric, Tulir, and the team for making such a good looking client!

  Discontinued The Discord terminal client you never knew you wanted.

Doesn't using this with Discord run a risk of your account getting banned for using a third-party client? That's why the Cordless developer shut down the project: https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless

Thanks! Beeper looks amazing.

> Our desktop client is closed source, but you can use Element (or any open source Matrix client) if you prefer.

I see most bridges are licensed AGPLv3 [0]: Then aren't you required to AGPL the desktop client, too?

• weechat-matrix

  11 950 2.0 Python

  Weechat Matrix protocol script written in python

I run a similar setup although with a different set of services: IRC, Slack through wee-slack, Hangouts through bitlbee with purple-hangouts, Facebook Messenger through bitlbee with bitlbee-facebook. Slack and Hangouts mostly works, but FB Messenger is a pain, attachments rarely work and it disconnects fairly often. So if the Beeper bridges end up being more reliable (possibly due to people being paid to work on them), I might just give it a try.

That is, once weechat-matrix works together with wee-slack… (https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/248) :-)
