Since the outset of Matrix, our aim has always been to provide a protocol that lets you build open, decentralised, secure communication apps which outperform the mainstream centralised alternatives. It’s been a twisty journey - first focusing on making Matrix work at all (back in 2014), and then getting it out of beta with Matrix 1.0 in 2019, and now focusing on making Matrix fast, usable and mainstream-ready with Matrix 2.0.

I see, thank you!

Are there any iOS apps?

Neat! Is this like Hacker News but federated?

I think you’re referring to ForgeFed.

I don’t have a straight answer but the work is still in progress just fine, as far as I can tell. Here are some pointers if you want to dig deeper:

I feel very similar with regard to blockchains, however I didn’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think (or rather hope) that there are some cryptocurrencies/blockchains that are actually useful/interesting to discuss. Certainly agreeing with you though.

Why not, go for it! Just be careful about copyright infringement as it's against lemmy.world ToS.

Consider it at least federated? :)

I've an account on dbzer0 too and often lurk there as well, however I wasn't sure about its longevity given the amount of piracy-related activity going on there.

What

All things and everything about decentralization: news, announcements, proposals, and discussions about decentralized apps, protocols and communities.

  • decentralized web (dweb)
  • peer-to-peer (P2P)
  • file-sharing (e.g., BitTorrent, IPFS, and Gnutella)
  • self-hosting
  • federation (e.g., ActivityPub/Fediverse and Bluesky)
  • federated apps (e.g., Mastodon, Lemmy, and Pixelfed)
  • cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin and Ethereum)

Why

I've noticed that although a lot of people are interested in decentralization, there aren't many forums where people can share news and discuss and develop projects together. Reddit used to have /r/Rad_Decentralization, /r/DarknetPlan and so on but the 2023 Reddit API controversy was the the final nail in their coffin.

 

New features coming to the future of self-hosting internet archives: a full plugin ecosystem, P2P sharing between instances, Cloudflare/CAPTCHA solving, auto-logins, and more….

Syncthing?

There is also Borg but I think it doesn’t have the features you’re looking for such as incremental backups and two-way sync etc.

What’s wrong with GitLab?

[–] boramalper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is a brand new project so I'm sure no apps are using this yet or even have plans to.
