#Microsoft gave it a try in 1999 and failed. The same tantalizing possibility returns every few years: a single place to communicate rather than an ever-expanding cacophony of apps, each with its own quirks. Are we any closer to this hope a quarter century later? #signal #iMessage #Apple #messenger #matrix #mautrix #synapse #beeper https://reviews.ofb.biz/sa1293
#mautrix
Call for testers - #mautrix_whatsapp has landed on the #Guix's go-team branch, feel free to pull and report for any operational issues.
seit ~2016 nutze ich #matrixchat (vector/riot/ #element, #fluffychat , #schildichat , #synapse , #mautrix ) und bin für mich froh drum.
aber was in den 9 jahren konsequent blieb: "normale" user wandten sich ab, weil IMMER WIEDER funktionierendes tooling alle paar monate für neue funktionen kaputt gemacht wurde.

matrix ist so grossartig und fährt dennoch 3x im jahr gegen den baum. 😭

@Capheind
- it's centrelized
- but #matrix #mautrix #signal #bridge works quite fine.
- With #schubladenhändi (*), or with your phone
- ervery once in a while a captcha needs to be resolved (e.g. when adding a new contact, not all the time)
(*) smartphone, which sits in a drawer all the time. switch on only when captcha or so needed.
The fact that #mautrix bridges work this good is insane. I ran into my first disconnect in 6 months on the mautrix/whatsapp bridge. I got a proper error message, logged back in and my stuff works again.
I dont think people who can operate a matrix server have any trouble running a mautrix bridge.
There are also bridges for discord, facebook messenger, instagram, signal, telegram and others.
Thinking about dropping Facebook - but for practical reasons I would still need to use Messenger.
Fine - I'll just bridge that into my #Matrix server with one of the excellent #Mautrix bridges.
"The homeserver is outdated (supported spec versions are below minimum required by bridge) bridge_requires=v1.4 server_supports=v1.2"
... right. I'm using #Dendrite, which is completely unsupported nowadays. No migration path to any other Matrix servers exist, which means all the users would need to manually be recreated and lose everything and yeah not happening.
@element really need to rethink how they're spending resources here. They're going to lose evangelists like this.
I am once again signalling the #Matrix hashtag to ask yet more stupid questions. This time it's about #mautrix
#Homeserver up and running, cool. mautrix-discord can double-puppet and relay, cool. Only one problem. These relayed posts are coming from the same #Element account - you can discern this is the same person on Element, but on the #Discord side, it's impossible to tell if this is one person, or two different people.
Can the bot be configured to make impersonation a little less easy?
Einmal nicht aufgepasst!
Ich hatte garnicht bemerkt das die WhatsApp-Bridge von Mautrix schon bei v0.10.7 ist.
Viel mir erst auf als meine(*10.5) nicht mehr funktionierte. 🫣
Das Update ließ sich garnicht wie gewohnt installieren. Ich musste die Bridge neu kompilieren. Hmm.
@dolanor @ChatonsOrg
En principe ça peut marcher avec n'importe quel bridge qui supporte de relayer les messages d'utilisateur.ices Matrix qui n'ont pas leur propre compte Signal, WhatsApp. En pratique ça dépend du #bridge #matrix que tu installes avec, nous on utilise #mautrix en relay-mode https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/relay-mode.html
#Signal ça marche du tonnerre, #WhatsApp avec quelques précautions, et on est en phase beta avec #Telegram pour lequel les sujets "topics" sont mal supportés dans un groupe.
@oldperl ist „hier“ nicht so wild, fast jeder hat (auch) #Signal… ob von Anfang an gewollt oder nicht 😇
Allerdings wegen dem Klassenchat vom Großen hab ich jetzt doch mal halb nachgegeben: Eigener #Matrix Server mit #Mautrix-WA-Bridge. WA selbst wahlweise auf nem virtuellen oder ausrangierten Telefon (letzteres im Gastnetz). Nicht das gelbe vom Ei aber hoffentlich werden so nicht all zu viele Metadaten mitgesammelt…
Für alles andere ist WA weiterhin Tabu.
After an upgrade, my #mautrix @signalapp bridge to @matrix stopped working... Word to the wise: version 4.99 equals version 5.0 so users will have to re-link their signal... and we're finally can stop using the outdated signald (daemon) (change log: https://github.com/mautrix/signal/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md )
So today I woke up and chose to install a #whatsapp #bridge to my #matrix server.
Great idea really, I can now talk to stubborn whatsapp friends without ever having to open their app again.
Only that the #mautrix whatsapp bridge doesn't discriminate between active and archived chats.
Now I have 300+ invites in my matrix client to chats I havent used in years. And the best: I cant mass decline them and get rate limited for declining too many in short order.
I love #foss #pioneering! 😅
The "someone has logged in to your Facebook" + security checkup + "no changes performed" might have come from the Facebook<->Matrix bridge I set up once, didn't work and forgot about...
Zurückblickend ist die Matrix-Whatsapp-Bridge (mautrix-whatsapp) Installationsanleitung schon vollständig. Aber man wird nicht eine Millisekunde an die Hand genommen. Schwere Geburt!
Vielleicht sollte man mit sowas aber auch nicht mitten in der Nacht anfangen. :blobcatsleepless:
