· Föderation EN Di 14.01.2025 17:04:23 Thanks for sharing this thread. You make many valid points. I agree with a lot of what you wrote and have some thoughts on this and some questions, but first of all, just to clarify, aren't Element and Matrix different things, just like Mastodon isn't the same thing as Activity Pub? I mean it would be unfair to say Activity Pub and the Fediverse are bad just because you don't like the Mastodon app or a specific Mastodon server. |

I believe the Matrix account on Mastodon is @matrix |

Föderation EN Di 14.01.2025 17:35:26 @jenkinse i know who both of them are and snitch tagging is considered rude. very much like activitypub, where mastodon exerts vast control over all other fediverse implementations, element exerts control over matrix:
element is the flagship, and you are conflating my critique of one with the other. nowhere did i say matrix was "bad" |
