Max Lee :blobcatverified:​<p>In the wake of countries passing legislation to prevent minors from accessing the web freely the Matrix.org home server is banning all everyone under 18 years from using their home serven starting August 7: <a href="https://matrix.org/legal/terms-and-conditions/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">matrix.org/legal/terms-and-con</span><span class="invisible">ditions/</span></a></p><p>Can't wait for them to implement some flawed age verification too. Seeing as the Matrix Foundation is based in the UK this isn't too far fetched imo. Time to finally look into self-hosting a home server I guess but most people will not have that privilege, especially if they aren't old enough to buy their own servers or services. :S</p><p>Kinda sucks how the free web is dying. Without it being available when I was a kid I definitely wouldn't be where I am today. I feel like we should not let such an important resource as the internet die this way just because parents can't do their job in raising their kids...</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>matrix</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/ageverification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ageverification</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>

Šodien paprovēju <a href="https://s.dodies.lv?t=conduit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Conduit</a>, tas ir daudz mazāk resursrijīgs un uzinstalēt to bija 5 minūtes (ja jau ir strādājošs Caddy reverse proxy).

9x0rg<p>&gt; The platform is cumbersome for newcomers and lacks user-facing features that people actually want, while simultaneously overexposing complex settings like roles, permissions, and addresses. Even overloaded platforms like Discord ultimately focus on what users want: Dumb emojis and stickers, silly color themes, and intuitive server and friend management. Matrix, by contrast, feels like it was built for compliance departments and bureaucrats, not communities.</p><p><a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Matrix</span></a> <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Element" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Element</span></a></p>
9x0rg<p>&gt; European governments in particular seem willing to endure all sorts of digital torture if it means reducing dependency on U.S. big tech. After all, their institutions which have failed over and over to develop own solutions, and that just “recently” (in relative terms) migrated off Windows XP and Internet Explorer, yet continue to use Lotus Notes and fax machines, are unlikely to be deterred by sluggish UIs or bizarre permission bugs.</p><p><a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Matrix</span></a> <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Element" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Element</span></a></p>
9x0rg<p>&gt; Between the slow performance, the increasing amount of spam, the miserable web client, and the unfinished state of Element X, the Matrix.org network is not something I am willing to continue to recommend, especially to non-technical users.
