This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
Other than current traction towards matrix marketing, why do so few people use XMPP? Most people just sign up for the matrix.org accounts which are hosted in Britain. One can use one of the other Matrix hosts, but I don't understand why people use matrix instead of XMPP.
Encryption was an afterthought with xmpp, whereas matrix was designed with encryption first. Xmpp has encryption as an extension, but not all clients support it.
XMPP is cool but so many things that you'd expect to be standard are extensions that both the Server and all the Clients need to have installed and enabled. Also some XMPP clients don't support all extensions and some extensions also require third party software and extra setup. Matrix just works.
That being said signing up to matrix.org is cringe. Absolutely host your own homeserver.
