New favorite tool 😍

I’m so hyped for federated Git (yes not core but PRs, issues, stars etc.) and I like Forgejo for that. It’s been about 1-2 years since Forgejo federation has announced but we still can’t see light from them.

How is the project going on? Is it actively developed or stuck? Is there a estimated time for federation?

I want to use my main mail address everywhere, even public places. But I doubt if I can guard myself against spam.

Is there a provider specialized in spam protection? Or at least good at it?

At last, given your experience, should I even do it?

You really shouldn’t and if you do, you may auto banned! (maybe)

I just got the email from haveibeenpwned. F Trello.

Here, I am going to complain about my problems in Matrix :) I’m liking its vision and features and I want to use it but I’ve got lots of problems while using it. Is it just me or general thing? I’ve tried Element, Element X, Fluffy Chat and Cinny so far.

My problems are;

• I got message notification but it did not showed on chat page with Element. I had to use another client.
• I couldn’t accept private chat invite from someone in Element X, I’ve used Cinny to accept it.
• Couldn’t use group tag? (like #group@server) someone send me to join to that chat group in Element, Element X and Fluffy Chat. Cinny worked tho.
• I was not able to verify Cinny session with other devices. It stuck in loading screen.
• Some messages says “waiting for this message” in Element (and X) but I can see them in Fluffy.
• Message threads are only working with Element. It doesn’t works on Fluffy and Element X. Didn’t tried Cinny.
• I can’t browse older messages in chat groups. It just stays in loading.

Probably there are other problems too that I don’t remember. Why are these apps (or Matrix) this broken? Or am I doing something wrong? 😑

The recent Threads controversy brought this question to my mind.

It is certain that such a thing will not happen, but if it was in theory; what would your reactions be? Also are your views on this similar to your views on Threads?
