today, a large unhoused encampment in #Minneapolis was evicted. for some, this was the third or fourth eviction in the last six months.Tonight, the temperature is forecast to be 5° F/-15° C. It is not forecast to rise about freezing for at least the next week.evicting encampments makes it nearly impossible for mutual aid groups to deliver supplies or for residents to access services to get them off the street.this will kill people. fuck you, Frey, and the whole apparatus that enables this. Blood on your hands, not that you care.you can, of course, let Jacob Frey know. His cell phone is 612-968-4443

@drudgesentinel @swaggboi meanwhile, ejabberd is serving 150+ users and uses < 700 MB of RAM

@luna I mean for all intents and purposes they're the same, including/especially the people. Matrix.org/Element are also financially unstable as evidenced by their 2022 report:https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2022they also fired their entire trust and safety/community team this year, one of whom is known to me personallythis is on top of the fact that the software just plain sucks. #matrix

@luna First and maybe most importantly both Element and Matrix.org are based and legally registered in the UK. Which means they'll be subject to the UK Online Safety bill if it becomes law. A bill that would require backdoors in encryption or more likely client-side scanning. (scroll down to the 'Excuse Me?' heading https://www.theverge.com/23708180/united-kingdom-online-safety-bill-explainer-legal-pornography-age-checks; https://signal.org/blog/uk-online-safety-bill/)In addition to and because of the fact that Matrix stores everything forever, Matrix uses a ton of resources. Even the "svelte/high performance 2nd gen" server kinda sucks. cf. https://matrix-org.github.io/dendrite/installation/planning#requirementsespecially compared to an XMPP server serving 5k+ active accounts and barely using 1.8gb of RAM.Finally it's just a bad protocol and design. in addition to the privacy issues identified by @disroot (https://disroot.org/en/blog/matrix-closure) and its GDPR issues (https://github.com/libremonde-org/paper-research-privacy-matrix.org/blob/master/part2/README.md). The only "effective" implementation of Matrix is stuff made by Element itself. Want encryption? Or X, Y, Z, well for 99% of users the only option is Element (cf. https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/02/23/keeping-platforms-open/#case-study-matrix-and-element). When i tried a while back to seriously use it, the desktop clients I found were either early beta and unstable, didn't support encryption, or electron apps.Finally, what percentage of Matrix users are on Matrix.org? IDK but when I used a local hackerspace's homeserver probably 80% of the people in the hackerspace were still on matrix.org.

@rechelon it is now fairly uncomplicated to move between servers. this account started out on Kolektiva and moved between three other instances before we started this one.
