Everything there (aside from perhaps not printing the full URL under the QR code) is deliberate and a part of the 'brand'. Roboto + Sour Gummy for the fonts, asymmetry, whimsy. If you don't like it, I'm sure you can use Element's Synapse and you'll be able to talk to people using Continuwuity just fine. That's kind of the point.

use of UwU in something I absolutely need to share with others

It's purely a backend, what's under the hood is not really visible to matrix clients.

Edit: Though I wish this graphic communicated that more, just realized it doesn't even say anything about [matrix].

the only valid complain is "no human readable data next to the QR code"

UwU. The cuteness is a huge plus IMO.

stop? 👉👈 🥺 why UwU? me do wrong?

The project is the "official community continuation of the conduwuit homeserver". Conduwuit was a popular matrix backend until the project was archived.

Although interestingly, conduwuit says the official continuation is Tuwunel. interesting

Those who would be off put by the UwU are not those I wish to talk to :3

Ow weewy, giv it a west! :3

I like it. It's nostalgic, in a 90s sort of way 😂

Agreed that QR codes should be accompanied by text links for accessibility, because many times the scanning fails due to bad light, old camera or shaky hands.

I was very excited when I started seeing QR codes gaining popularity. That excitement was quickly shattered when everyone just started using them improperly and they just made everything more annoying 😮‍💨

I made an NFC/QR code card for my wifi details at home, and that also includes the details written in clear text on the card, since some devices simply don't do QR (or NFC in my case).

It is!

Yeah, I see your point, and I included the link in the alt text. On the actual design itself though, any URL I wrote in could be completely different from the QR so it seems slightly pointless - especially as it would just be writing Continuwuity a third time haha

I hate you

Funny, I've had the exact opposite experience reddit vs lemmy. People are much more supportive here.

Reddit is especially a shithole for that exact use case (sharing tech projects), because (I suspect) pecking order games and performing for imaginary audiences. Between that and the slop...yeah, nah. Fuck Reddit.

YMMV

It's a spiritual successor to conduwuit, the name checks out imo.

Feel free to use Synapse, og conduit or whatever floats your boat.

I love it

Your users won't ever see the name.

Myeah but it’s just a server - the clients just use Matrix.

Well if that is your only negative point, it must be pretty good.

That sort of telemetry should be opt in, not opt out

phones home by default to fetch its news and feed it to the admin

What is that and why is it bad?

you may want to turn that off before booting first time

How do you do that?

When they have good names they get stolen.

Try took up about gemini protocol.

Well, it startend with conduit. That was a respectable name. The development slowed down and someone wasnt happy abput not getting pr merged. Then it got forked to conduwuit.

Speed picked back up. There was later a massive meltdown for some reason. To successors emerged continuwuity and tuwunel.

Lots of folks also like the unmarketable names, because you know that it's not a corporate project. You're hearing about it, because it's actually good, and not just because some startup got VC money to do marketing.

Heck, the reverse is true as well. This project is better specifically because it has that name. You just know some transfemmes are tirelessly hacking away at it, because they enjoy the silly name.

What do weaboos have to do with Egyptian gods?

how am I supposed to talk my family into using this over something normal?

At first I uwunderstood your comment as a joke, but apparently Tuwunel does in fact exist and it's a continuation of Conduwuit.

Then call it Matrix. They don't need to know and probably don't care about the specific server software you're using.

Respectfully, you have no idea how Matrix works and I know you don't use it if you think you have to tell people what backend you use for them to connect to you.

Its just called a matrix server, you don't need to tell anyone the specific kind.

You can always change the name on your instance. Agree that there is no reason to use the project name, especially in this case.

It's not really designed to be a Discord replacement. It's a messaging app/protocol that can do voice/video calls. Discord is a passive state voice / video / text channel app that was designed to create spaces for different topics. Matrix has added a similar hierarchical feature as an option, but its not the same and I don't think it was meant to be.

Ive been keeping an eye on Movim for a discord alternative, I think spaces got added recently.

It's not matrix-based, but: Haven. It's what I setup the... second? third? time discord had burned their users. The only thing missing for me is Xbox support, as several of my social circle are console gamers. But for pc users, it's got everything I need.

Bingpot! Features trump objections, which is how any industry knows it doesn't really have to listen to users all that much. Deep down, addicts really don't care if their heroin is ethically sourced from sustainably managed small-lot producers.

Voilà

truer ones use aztec

I was under the impression that they preferred to be referred to as 'skinnies'. We are all flesh, after all... well except protogen...

It's based on conduit, which itself is really a lot better for self-hosting than synapse or dendrite.

I ran conduit on an atom d2550 alongside other services and it basically idled. Running synapse or dendrite on the same machine made the whole machine max out permanently.

Irc is fine, but not federated...

Matrix is a protocol, not a software. Continuwuity is one of the few servers for this protocol.

Damn, I knew it had problems with room stability, but that's kinda completely ridiculous.

I don't understand why people need SSO.

Every place I've every worked that had SSO had an outage, and then nobody could log in to anything.

SSO moar leik single point of failure amirite?

Support for delegation to an external IDP (without MAS) is a work-in-progress

Depends on the client you use. Sable has loads of features like that.

We have a few BSD users! And no, it doesn't.

Moderation tools are powerful but seperate to the server. Asgard.chat offers some hosted options, but meowlnir, Draupnir and policyserv are the usual tools.

Element X doesn't support the traditional way of making accounts, try use cinny.in to make an account in the browser and then log in with element X. Fluffychat should also present a "create a new account" button above the login button. Make sure to follow instructions in the console for registering the first account.

The federation port not being accessible won't break local functionality but will break federation, so you won't be able to talk with other people. Either change the configured port in the well-known file or forward the port via your reverse proxy.

I'd suggest joining the support room via an alt account, you'll get faster responses.

Seems tuwunel is dev of previous project and this is community fork.
