ryrona Our server doesn't require phone number verification so it will only be required if you use an IP with a bad reputation due to it being used for spam, raids, etc.

    Of course I'm aware of the crawlers. Since Discord is an option as a chat platform for community members, I was sharing the article to let others know about/make them aware of it. That's all. I apologize if you thought otherwise.

    Dumdum No, Matrix isn't directly involved in the bridge. The bridge can work without it.

      Tbh SimpleX is even worse regarding moderation. All these very private messengers are just bad for moderating big rooms.

      As these rooms are public, treat them as public. It sucks that you need to split tunnel Discord, I experienced the same and even after adding a real phone number I couldnt join a chat, just because of a VPN.

      But in the end, use SimpleX or XMPP where you are in control, but these are not suited for public rooms.

      Tbh I would also only use Matrix for public rooms, it isnt really privacy friendly either.

        ErnestThornhill Its in the concept. Anyone can just create a new ID and spam again. You have no identifiers, thats the point.

        Not sure about invite links, accepting them etc. That is probably fine

            Never used the client Element with Matrix before and this is all new to me. I dont know what im doing wrong. I get to "GrapheneOS Community" room but at the bottom where you type I see this message: "You are not authorized to write in this room". What have I done wrong and what can I do to fix it so im able to type in the room.

              GOS_Addict Hmm, that's weird. Are you able to join individual rooms? If you are, it's functionally the same, although you should be able to join the space too.

                  GOS_Addict you should change your avatar mate to something less official, I am sure mods would agree

                      I had that avatar because I love GOS project and wanted to support them. Was not intended to act as mods or admins. But I think they removed it before I could. Any switched to something else.

                        I accidentally turned on "Cross Signing" feature in Element. Do I need it because im not completely sure on what it actually does? And I cant find anything that you can turn it off. Is it possible to turn it off and how?
