i see, I think that’s a problem of who is recommending the servers to people, I always go with one of the servers that are on the matrix.org website ( these has strict moderators and are under active development ), I can certainly go with another list of abstract/shady unknown servers but that’s a recipe for disaster…

Btw, I’m not denying that there is terrible content on some of these servers/rooms, but I’m saying it’s a byproduct of the system architecture, Element/Matrix can implement more safety settings that’s for sure

that being said the worse footage I saw in my entire life was on Facebook, and it was completely allowed, which tells you something about the platform and how little to no control you have to change it’s direction.

The UI is designed in such a way that it doesn’t expose the user to outside servers ( by default you’re on Matrix.org ) even when you press the discover button you’ll see rooms from the same server.

the only way for an average user to get exposed to such rooms is by being invited to them by strangers or Bots ( so maybe there should be a way to disable community invites, especially Bot invites )

Or maybe your client didn’t put much thought into the user journey and let you discover everything, even abstract/shady servers

Don’t take this the wrong way, but do you lurk on Matrix everyday ? I’m not on the right ( wrong ) rooms because I only take what I need from any service, the Internet can be depressing, so my advice is to be careful

It’s kinda strange, the guy reached a conclusion that the service is legit hard to control and take down by any government, but was insisting on: BUT… BUT… BUT… trying to stress the negative points, which by the way, they’re way more apparent on other Big tech Platforms, specifically : Discord…

If you have a centralized server and that server straight out refuses to take measures against abuse ( I’m just gonna say abuse in general and that includes all things: Child abuse, Ra*e, addictive drugs…etc )

if you as a user notice these things and after you report them nothing happens… Then what ? Wait until a big news outlet notice, then they publish it on their website, and after a week or so, you’ll watch the CEO walk away from court like nothing happened…

On Matrix, as a user, I can spin up my own server, make my own rules, and make sure stuff like this ( abuse ) doesn’t happen, the point here is that you can’t blame Element Team or Matrix Team for what happens on this system, they just make the software and people deploy it

the only thing left to blame afterwards is human nature!

Which brings me to an important question, who is his source ? they must have great control over the network to realize that Matrix ( a huge decentralized network with many servers is a pit of abuse ) !!!

without a source ? without knowing how they knew what they claimed ? this video is just a conspiracy theory in my view… And having ties to the French government isn’t necessarily a bad thing… ( knowing that the French government spied on it’s citizens, yes )

I have been using Matrix for years, and never encountered a single instance of abuse… trolls yes… Hentai…yes … but no shady stuff… It’s mostly nerds talking about Computers, Linux and Anime

Sorry, she looks ugly, why is her eyes so separate ? And why her nose is painted with orange

this art is annoying to look at

I’m afraid it’ll be overtaken by corporate greed, and throwing proprietary blobs until they implement something like Intel ME… But don’t worry it’s for your security

Thank you

I thought it wasn’t properly scaled

GNOMEO ?! never heard of that one before ?

They are taught about it from childhood

in one single word >> Indoctrinated

OP this is why people believe in religion, and it’s nearly impossible to get them out of it, you can’t reason someone out of something they weren’t reasoned into in the first place

They used to say that every product evolves until it can send mail.

they did ? when ?

how so ? he isn’t saying anything really… because he rarely says an opinion of his own, and when he does he does so briefly… like he grabbed it from someone 👀… yeah… why I’m not surprised every video idea he has is LITERALLY stollen from a Reddit post or a comment ( source : him )…

plus anyone can go and read from a blog post or a github discussion and come out with same amount of information if not more…

lastly quantity over quality: this complements my last point, because the only way to make a quality video is by doing deep research، these YouTubers skip shit ton of critical information, and it makes people have a flawed perspective

less than 2 days to research, record, and edit and make a thumbnail ? Seriously ?! It should tell you something is off

I like that this exists but I don’t want to use it because i want to know the content creatos to avoid, thumbnails are part of the game, but putting your face on them feels like a cheap trick ( since it’s unecessary ), effective… yes… but cheap…

By default life is meaningless, and I wanna make it meaningful

Totally agree 👌

the comments here are truly negative, maybe these tips doesn’t work for you, but some of them worked for me…

Yes, based on the way they talk actually, not by their usernames…

I’m not sure about the technical details, I saw a post on Mastodon and people’s screenshots about the update, I’m assuming MicroG is preinstalled and enabled by default… people were also saying LFMG won’t be here for any longer… Because it’s obsolete… But it’s still going apparently ( we’re in June )

In the world ?! That’s very broad… The news depend on the context so if we want to be objective about this we need to look at every country’s news outlets…

The question is, why was it partially open source in the first place ?

LineageOS includes MicroG by default now, I think all releases after Feb 2024 come with MicroG and Signature Spoofing

In my case I used to lose the Windows Boot manager entry… And only see PopOS… I was scared of Linux, but it pushed me to explore it even more… well I need to send an email for example, and only Linux was in front of me… So, thanks Windows Update.
