Sixteen Next Generation Internet (NGI) projects are pleased to announce the transition to Mastodon and PeerTube, two European open-source platforms, for their communication and content-sharing needs. This strategic move aligns with NGI’s commitment to fostering an Internet that embodies European values of trust, security, and inclusion.

"Utilising European-developed platforms like Mastodon and PeerTube enhances digital sovereignty, ensuring that Europe’s digital infrastructure is built on values of openness, collaboration, and respect for fundamental rights. This transition marks a significant step toward a more human-centric Internet, reflecting NGI’s vision for a trustworthy, open, and inclusive digital future," NGI writes on its website.

Matrix has absolutely bonkers resource requirements relative to the end user experience it delivers, and can be much more complex to deploy. Some of that is intrinsic to federation or to its protocol; some is related to Synapse specifically. I'm not sure whether competing server implementations will catch up before Synapse gets a rewrite in a more performant language, but I'm eager for one or the other to happen.

I admin a public Matrix server, so I'm not by any means against the product, but IMO there's a reason it hasn't meaningfully displaced XMPP yet.

Synapse is a mess, which is why Element is looking to eventually drop it for Dendrite. There's also Conduit.

Are Dendrite and/or Conduit feature complete/comparable yet?

[–] miracleorange@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not yet, but Conduit is fairly close if I'm not mistaken.

The problem with XMPP is its encryption UX is dreadful, Matrix got it right with comparing emoji to verify. Also Matrix, despite everything does try to keep its encryption up to date and so all the clients try to follow suit, the same cannot be said for xmpp
