Oddbean new post about login | logout Has anyone used Matrix for messaging? Whats your thoughts? Ive been playing with it a little today and must be missing something? #AskNostr
I used it a while ago. It was pretty good for a community group chat. Not ideal for direct messaging from memory. Simplex is better for direct messaging & calls.
Thanks @Brisket I was thinking for a community it may be ok but not direct messaging
Self-hosting matrix isn't too horrible if you have a domain name to be able to link everything through. It is NOT good over tor.
I may need to do a little more homework to figure it out
StartOS makes it easy to start a synapse server, but, it's set up out of the box for tor use, which is painful. It may be better to run a docker or container.
I was playing with the start 9 Synapse server today…… it hurt my head
