Federated matrix has become one of the most censored protocolls ever, despite being "decentralized and censorship resistant". Here is a discussion on the topic on our RS channel:

Matrix homeserver is blocking monero.social

Matrix is used heavily by devs and they reacted a bit nervous... https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/2309

Although decentralized in theory, most of the landing and searching is done on the matrix.org homeserver. https://iv.datura.network/watch?v=W8KEuAEYjQ4 #Matrix - A Pit of Abuse with Government Ties If matrix is centralized enough by state agencies to enable graph anal

why use it at all?

They seem to use it for intelligence gathering.

we replace matrix with RS, then github once RS adds the function, a fully decentralized github, now that would be amazing :grin:

Now that would be awesome.

Sidenote: while in theory it is censorship resistant, in practice matrix.org is the only admin of the (automatically pulled) blocklist on github. The blocklist makes up +50% (!) of all content on matrix or +100,000 entries

according to the vid source.

Of course servers who dont pull the blocklist are facing hudge pressure because it can be inferred they are "hosting" pedo porn. How Monero got onto this list, i just dont know.... See u on Nostr ?

nostr is good, matrix is a good protocol in theory like you said, but the centralization to matrix.org renders it worthless.

btw 90% of all pedo porn is done by the feds in order to poison the well

i'd say 99% -> https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Pedophocracy The global elites are obssessed with violating and corrupting purity and innocent child. Their punishment in the afterlife will be like nothing that is even comphrehendable

censorship? there is an app for that. But it's not matrix.

Retroshare establish encrypted connections between you and your friends to create a network of computers, and provides various distributed services on top of it: forums, channels, chat, mail... Retroshare is fully decentralized, and designed to provide maximum security and anonymity to its users beyond direct friends. Retroshare is entirely free and open-source software. It is available on Android, Linux, MacOS and Windows. There are no hidden costs, no ads and no terms of service.

This is similar to Utopia, previously shared, with regard to functionality and peer-to-peer operation, but unlike Utopia this one is fully open source, is not blockchain based, and starts out with only connecting to your known friends. The devs are also known, and it uses well known PGP encryption which you share directly with your friend to get authenticated.

'Onion routing' is used for anonymity and needless to say you don't need your real-world credentials to register. Being P2P it does not require any servers or central services to operate - you connect to, and via, your friends directly, completely out of site of Big Tech.

It's a bit like your own private secure Facebook and is actually great for younger children to participate safely. There are no hidden costs, no ads and no terms of service. It installs on Windows, Linux and MacOS desktops, and on Android mobile. Sorry no iOS app.
