We’ve closed registrations while this lemmy exploit thing is figured out. We will reopen after things get sorted out as far as how to mitigate this. New communities limited to admins only for the same reason and will be re-enabled when everything is sorted.

        Okay this is my first time dabbling with Matrix and its not as straightforward as I thought with Mastodon and Lemmy. What servers do you recommend? Just found out matrix.org bans without reason lol.

            Does it run into the same “problem” or rather a feature (lol) of Mastodon and Lemmy regarding defederation? By it I mean Matrix and if yes are those 2 you mentioned isolated?

              Defederation is significantly less common than with Mastodon and Lemmy and from my understanding is virtually impossible to isolate an instance. You can have servers/rooms running on multiple instances at any given time (and most do). I have never experienced an issue of true defederation where it was impossible to talk to someone else on another Matrix home server. I even was on a server one time which did defederate from Matrix.org. Even in that case I was still able to join matrix.org servers and talk to matrix.org users, though it was a touch more difficult (but barely).

        What are you on about? Discord is the best chatting platform there is. Nothing really comes close to it or defeats it. You get features like:

        • paying monthly for simple features that enhance chatting experiance
        • lots of bots that do all kinds of things
        • 100% complies with privacy and security
        • does not track what you are doing, keep chat logs indefinitely and above all they are all for privacy.

        All in all, i recommend discord for all your needs. Be it studying group, work related, or even private messaging with end-to-end encryption because clearly discord can’t read your chat logs (remember, privacy…)
