It is very well known that Synapse is a ressource hog. Heck, you can’t even enable presence because it would kill your server ressources. Why do you think almost all instances have it disabled? Cmpared to an XMPP server ressource usage, Snypase is a nightmare to host. I also hosted a public server for a long time.

XMPP standards: https://wikiless.ftw.lol/wiki/XMPP https://xmpp.org/extensions/ https://xmpp.org/about/technology-overview/

It’s literally as easy as running a docker container and editing a yaml file, at least for synapse.

just like xmmp is, difference is, matrix snypse uses like 20x the amount of ressources. Just try to host a public server for more than 100 people and you will know.

There is a reason why people make stuff like Conduit or the matrix team works on Dendrite as a new server.

UT99 was one of my best if not the best gaming times I had in my life. Unreal was godlike too ofc.

This couldn’t be more wrong actually.

Xmpp is far from death. Just because many started to use matrix instead doesn’t mean it’s dead. Even though matrix is a Ressource and performance nightmare much more so than xmpp will ever be.

I’m an IT specialist and work in IT too. I also selfhosted a lot of stuff publicly.

XMPP is used by many companies like Facebook , Google, Nintendo, GitHub, zoom, WhatsApp, Apple etc.

Xmpp is a an official Standard.unlikr things like matrix.

And if you think that xmpp has battery issues.oeadays then that tells me you used any xmpp app like conversation/snikket etc. like many years ago.

My xmpp Apps use way less battery than any matrix app ever could.

XMPP is fast, reliable and just works. Matrix is a nightmare to selfhost, too.

IRC? Irc has no E2EE whatsoever. Therfore isn’t even comparable to xmpp with omemo or matrix.

restic + rclone crypt + whatever storage server/service is good enough. currently using hetzner storage for my backups. because they’ve auto snapshots on top of my backups.

I also use this setup for backups on servers, not only at home

I don’t get reviews for movies/show. Makes no sense to me. If I’ve not watched the movie/show, I don’t wanna get spoiled and/or influenced by some random stranger who thinks the movie is either bad or good.

I want to see the movie/show on my own and then decide if its good or not. And after that, why do I need to read reviews? I already saw the movie/show and I know if I liked it or not. No reason to read a review of it.

For me it feels more like, many people need others to tell them if they should like a movie/show or not.

I totally get video game reviews because they are expensive and usually a much higher time investment compared to a movie or “tv” show.

Since when are politics supposed to be shoved down my throat at every corner and has to consume my entire (online) life?

No matter where I go, star trek thread, meme thread, entertainment thread etc. People are more concerned about this stuff than anything else. And TBH, I’m kinda tired of it too.

That’s exactly what happens nowadays on the internet. Radicals and extremists everywhere, who wants everybody canceled to no end just because XYZ.

So he has a valid point.

I mean, the definition is kinda clear.

you should defederate lemmygrad and maybe even main lemmy instance then. Because they kinda belong to that category afaik.

Its actually simple. Tell them, its like Email. You have an email account at gmail, but can perfectly fine have email conversation with someone on outllook. Lemmy instance = the same as a web email interface of any email provider. Most people will get their head around that.

• iOS is very restricted compared to Android.
• iPhones overpriced like crazy for what you get.
• GrapheneOS

Good. Discord is the cancer of the free searchable internet.

If you really need communication, use XMPP or Matrix.

And for everything else use stuff like forums and Lemmy and mastodon reddit Twitter whatever. But not closed walled gardens that are not searchable on the net. It’s astonishing that so many people gatekeep content behind this Discord crap.
