Matrix servers that have it enabled (including QOTO's matrix server) allow for ephimerial rooms. That is, you can set your messages in a room to automatically delete after a certain point in time. Anyone who is the admin/mod of a room can set it. That, combined with the end-to-end encryption and identity verification really makes this a win on privacy.
Please let me know if anyone needs help.
If you want to sign up or log in you can go to: https://element.qoto.org
Everyone is welcome to signup, you dont need to have a QOTO account. You can also login as a guest if you wish.
@khird It is easily overlooked as the documentation only mentions the DNS method briefly with a link to the spec. Most servers use the .well-known approach to publishing the link.
@khird FTI I think a line brake in markdown requires two sequential line brakes in the raw MD itself.
@khird That is very strange considering that having a home server url that differs from the federation ID is quite common... my guess is that it specifically is broken when honoring the federation url redirect that is defined through DNS, despite being part of the matrix spec. Absolutely a bug on their part then and likely should be reported.
Strictly speaking your ID is @khird:qoto.org and your home server is matrix.qoto.org (which the system tells clients is serving qoto.org matrix endpoints).
To anyone out there hosting a #Matrix server of any scale, interested in connecting with the QOTO matrix server?
What I am proposing is I will add any Matrix server on the fediverse into our configuration under room directories on the condition the other server adds QOTO as well. This wont change anything functionally except to allow the server to show up int he drop down for matrix servers when searching for servers to join. It just makes sense to have the various fediverse servers show up in that list by default.
@khird ok i reset matrix.. anyway yea if you specify the home server as "matrix.qoto.org" it should work... it is trying to ping the mastodon instance. It works on element because i have that set as the default.
@khird one second going to restart matrix wont fix your problem directly but it is inspired by it.
@khird ok, yea that might be due to you specifying the wrong homeserver
@khird Most likely you specified qoto.org as the home server rather than matrix.qoto.org.
I am going to try changing that setting ont he element I host so it is less confusing.
@lucifargundam I'm offended... mostly ny the fact you didnt share!
@khird ehat are you specifying as your home server?
@khird can i see the specific errors?
Just pushed the v0.8 release of @spritelyproject Goblins! https://gitlab.com/spritely/goblins/-/commit/a707227ccfc4bf54d7a6db6c2c75f4b309f105c8
Still need to make the release blogpost but yay!
In the meanwhile, see the changelog: https://gitlab.com/spritely/goblins/-/blob/v0.8/CHANGELOG.org
(And yes I did get it out the door during Hack & Craft!)
We have now added a new service to supplement the QOTO Matrix chat server; a dedicated Element web client with a ton of features baked in the standard Element web client doesnt have.
Just go to https://element.qoto.org and you can register for, or sign into, a QOTO matrix account.
Please reach out to @freemo If you have any questions or problems.
#QOTO @QOTO@groups.qoto.org #mastoadmin #matrix #chat #federation #decentralized.
WOOT! Now have our own webclient for QOTO's matrix service.
It has a whole bunch of features the vanilla version of element doesnt have enabled. So good reason to use this version over the official. But the official version will work just fine still if you prefer it.
@freemo @QOTO @GNUxeava
Yeah I don't plan to go back to #freenode . Here's some interesting statistic thanks to @fribbledom
Yea, its a fine line, and it depends on nuance.. like if she was just getting hurt by men and saying "men suck"... it might be ok and all... But what gets me is that they say things where the reverse would completely offend them.. like if you posted every day "women are horrible people, the world/me doesnt need them" you might look like a piece of shit too :)
