isnt signal a nonprofit? not a corporation

There’s a beta you can try using a test branch app on their staging servers, you’ll need to make a new account with your number again and there has been issues where its leaked your number

Not yet but it’s being worked on and it’s close now

Use a different homeserver for matrix and it’s way faster then the default matrix.org one for the element clients servers joinmatrix.org is a good list

Framework probably

Never torrent over Tor, torrent over I2P it actually supports it and has its own torrent client i2psnark

Depends which hard left, I know hard/far left people who hate them

didnt the silk road guy use his IRL name for it somewhere and was bragging about it in someway, I remember reading that he didnt have any opsec at all

Check out cinny.in it’s a discord styled client for matrix

Theres valid reasons to not like discord or not being FOSS isn’t one of them personally

How does it have lemmy integration?

Discord has decent UX and the voice channels are great and easy to use, it’s far from garbage, just because it isn’t open source and technically matrix is mainly made/maintained by one company who made it at the same time, they don’t own it and there’s a separate entity the matrix foundation which is non profit which owns the actual spec and all that stuff but the majority of stuff done in the spec was by element/new vector

Did you try with your own self hosted server or something being hosted by someone else/a company?

You can kinda have that with spaces, I don’t see any reason why clients couldn’t sort them like discord does, would probably need something added to the spec so they can be sorted a certain way if users wanted to

I’m not 100% sure, I would ask in the support room for the bridge which should be on that page

You mean bridging other platforms?

Native group calls are being actively worked on with element call and what Do you mean by channels?

You can use matrix for groups easily, it’s what I mainly use it for

It scales with alot of users on a few servers fine but when it gets to a few thousand servers in the room it starts to lag, which isn’t that common

Spaces are similar to discords servers/guilds yeah, but rooms don’t have to be in a space and they can be in as many spaces as anyone wants
