Interesting, I was not aware of the metadata issues with matrix. I hope that's something they can solve soon.

I have to say I haven't done much research into XMPP. I'll probably dabble with XMPP at some point when I get the time. I've been waiting for both projects to mature more before diving in too deep.

I'm really interested in a real time communication technology that combines the decentralized peer-to-peer and privacy features of briar with the speed and polished UI of telegram.

I read at some point that the matrix developers want to develop the matrix protocol to work peer-to-peer without a central homeserver. If that is the case then matrix may be headed down that path.

I signed up with the main matrix.org server years ago to try it out. I like to play with the the various clients every couple months to see what new features have been implemented. The element developers just released element x which looks nice.

A Modern Anarchism by Anark - What are your thoughts? (piped.video)

What did you think of Anark’s video essay series - A Modern Anarchism? I’ve watched the first two in the series. I’ve only been studying anarchism for about a year but I think it’s a great synthesis of other popular anarchist work. I think he’s a great writer and communicator. He breaks down complex theory very well into easy to digest pieces. I do feel like these videos are a bit long. I would have preferred if he had broken them into half hour segments

I'm a big fan of the matrix protocol so I have to ask, what made you choose XMPP over matrix?

I am not aware of any good solar punk wiki projects. There are however several other great wiki projects online that we can link and and contribute to. Here are a few wiki projects related to the environment, sustainability, and various diy technologies

Hacker | Solar - A knowledge repository on all subjects related to the practical application and praxis within the Solarpunk movement

Appropedia.org - The sustainability wiki

Energypedia.info - A wiki for renewable energy, energy access, and energy efficiency topics in developing countries

Open Source Ecology.org - A wiki for the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) – a set of the 50 most important machines that it takes for modern life to exist – everything from a tractor, to an oven, to a circuit maker

Localwiki.org - A wiki for anyone, anywhere to be able to learn about where they live — their local government, the history of their neighborhoods, streets, social movements, noteworthy local figures, social services, schools — every facet of life in their community.

On the topic of high quality information of the commons, I think what we really need is a decentralized federated wiki technology, like lemmy but for wikis. One that uses some combination of consensus based peer review, version control, and author accreditation. As far as I know, nothing like this even remotely exists - yet.

Edit 01 - Added Hacker | Solar! There are some good articles, not alot of activity in the past year
Edit 02 - I just saw the post talking about the official slrpnk.net wiki! Great work folks!
