We've been steadily working away at P2P Matrix over the last few years & while there's still lots of work left, we're starting to see distant light at the end of the tunnel! So if you want to track our past & present progress, we're proud to present: ✨ arewep2pyet.com ✨

#DMA is getting there!🎉 But tech discussions are still going, esp around interoperable e2ee group chats: clarifies why 1:1 or group is irrelevant when it comes to e2ee interop #CompDM

Let’s face it, traditional moderation is fundamentally broken. It’s neither scalable nor compatible with the idea of interoperable communication. Something has to change ‼️
Our latest blog highlights why interop in #DMA can be the much needed trigger ⬇️

🇪🇺 The DMA’s 3rd trilogue is coming up & interop is at the ❤️ of the debate.
Open APIs are an easy answer but have limitations: an Open Standard is the only way to deploy the real power of interop!
📢 Our blog tells you why!

If the idea of FB owning the metaverse terrifies you, help us build out the open standard-based answer on Matrix. We already have decentralised voice/video, with native group calling coming shortly: VR/AR is the obvious next step. Come join the resistance!

Facebook and other proprietary, for-profit, centralized social media companies (including this one) are of detrimental effect to end-user well-being. Consider open, encrypted, federated services like as an option for cross-platform, cross-reality signalling.

Amazing to see showing off low-bandwidth decentralised comms to 1SL (Head of the ) using Titanium: our CivTAK Matrix plugin. At this rate Matrix is on track to become the common language across the entire public sector!⚓️📻🇬🇧

Last week the UK Govt published a new draft of their #OnlineSafetyBill, making UK corps liable for jail time unless they censor "harmful" content (without defining harmful). Targeted at Big Tech it instead directly threatens Matrix. Read matrix.org/blog/2021/05/1 & raise the alarm.
