  • It’s really nice seeing people understanding that reducing the use of a word because of compassion is not a bad thing. Good work on examing your language.

    I’d also encourage people to have a look at the words they use to describe erratic or unexplainable things. My partner has mental health issues, and hearing people constantly using “insane” and all of its fellows became really alienating for them. It’s bizarre how quickly you start to find alternative words you forgot existed.


  • The bridges are all open source, and they use matrix synapse as their server installation - though their client is a closed source fork of element with changes. You can use any matrix client to connect to it, and they say it’s a standard synapse setup.

    If privacy is a concern, bringing your own client should remove that concern as the rest is open source. It’s also e2e encrypted, as any matrix server is.

    I self host my own matrix homeserver with bridges set up using their code. The only bit of their stack I can’t use is the client. I don’t like that that’s closed source, that’s frustrating.

    Edit: while writing this two more people made the same comment. Sorry!
