I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

So you're saying all these concerns have been alleviated ?

Posting a 3 coming on 4 year old post, of course it's not going to be accurate any more. And that's for the points that aren't just fear mongering in the first place.

  • Redaction exists and removes the contents of events, while keeping metadata needed for the functionality of the room.
  • Any program can handily ignore deletion - back when I used discord I had a handy plugin to view deleted messages for moderation, for example.
  • Badly behaving servers can behave badly and it will not affect correctly behaving ones, they will apply redactions as expected.
  • "Room joins leaves, etc are permanently a part of the room's history" well yeah, that's expected. You can upgrade a room if you want to start from scratch there.
  • We can now prevent spammers from ever entering the room with join gates, among other things - but if you're not running a big public community, then our antispam tech is probably completely unnecessary for you
  • Currently, timeline ordering is defined by the server. Continuwuity uses a simple, understandable and secure scheme - it orders by the time your server receives messages.
  • As per the above point, this doesn't affect Continuwuity
  • That's a tradeoff of allowing public rooms with tens of thousands of people in the same app as end-to-end encrypted DMs. Good job Matrix isn't really meant to be a Signal competitor.
  • this point was relevant... Four years ago. You'll only encounter issues if you're using a broken server or ancient client now.
  • "Started trying to filter recently" god you can tell how outdated this is
  • It defines it pretty damn strictly now, and this isn't an issue in practice for a very long time.
  • Mmm yeah I don't think you're particularly likely to experience one of those in day-to-day usage.
  • and this is false lol
  • Ancient and fixed
  • False. There are many ways to do this.
  • I've never encountered this, and it's impossible in new rooms versions.
  • Aand outdated by years again
  • see above
