<₲₹€€₦ ₼ɄŁ₮ł₼€Đł₳ (Alt)> Does it have any unique features? Like TOR \ I2P? In my country Matrix-servers are banned, and I would like to have, well, at least some kind of VPN in a package with the client itself. I realize that VPN servers are expensive, but there is free Siphon in the applications of some European media?
[08:07:06]
<₲₹€€₦ ₼ɄŁ₮ł₼€Đł₳ (Alt)> Same problems...
As for the participants, I think it varies so much because of the activity of their accounts\ their online availability status I think... (like on Mastodon, where the public stats only include those who are active).
As for the connection issues, that server must have taken a breather, or your connection to it is being censored by your ISP... And even VPN may not solve the problem: I have to keep 2 different VPNs - for torrents and for matrix, because the one for torrents does not connect to the servers for matrix.
However, Aria Net, as I have already noticed, is not banned in my country yet, but Matrix Org and Uggs IO are completely banned. Apparently, our authorities want to drive everyone to Telegram and local social networks.

<₲₹€€₦ ₼ɄŁ₮ł₼€Đł₳ (Alt)> There are a lot of complaints about different matrix servers now, as I have noticed. My friends in my country have also had many servers go down. But we simply have a dictatorship, so everyone is banned from everything. But why the same thing is happening abroad, I don't know... Maybe there is a dictatorship there too?..
[08:15:44]
<₲₹€€₦ ₼ɄŁ₮ł₼€Đł₳ (Alt)> I've been using this app on Android for a month now, but even it has problems connecting to my server. And not every VPN opens access to it, unfortunately. Perhaps some special VPN built right into "Fluffy Chat" would solve this problem - perhaps it's worth finding its developer page and asking about it, because the situation with blocking is getting tougher...
[08:19:57]
<₲₹€€₦ ₼ɄŁ₮ł₼€Đł₳ (Alt)> I would not advise anyone to publish phone numbers in the matrix at all, because it is dangerous (unless, of course, you are an organization, for example, helping LGBTQ children, like "Children 404" or some online store for selling something). I am in the Matrix with my pseudo-mailbox, and I did not indicate the mobile number - it is safer that way...
[08:26:45]
<@greenstudios:aria-net.org> Is there any moderation here at all?.. And, yes, can I ask some of you to have intimate conversations in dedicated rooms?.. Don't be offended, they just somehow overflow the feed!..
[08:33:10]
<@greenstudios:aria-net.org> It seems that many people here confuse public rooms with private ones - and it's annoying...
[08:36:53]
<@greenstudios:aria-net.org> Sounds like Christian rap lyrics, to be honest... Can we at least do without the propaganda of traditional values here in Fediverse?.. I live in a dictatorial country, we have fascism - and family values have already tortured many here, there are victims.
[08:43:23]
<@greenstudios:aria-net.org> Correct. And good. The more opportunities there are for the sexually aroused/obsessed with eroticism to satisfy their passions for money/free pictures on the Internet - the fewer sexual crimes there are. Why, for example, is Tokyo considered the safest city in the world?.. Is it because there are so many sex services and just artists there, providing hentai to everyone who needs it?.. Confess abstinence, brothers and sisters, but do not impose it on others if they do not want it - this is general advice. In my country, the dictator forces everyone to start families, and this increasingly leads to domestic violence.
[08:48:29]
<@greenstudios:aria-net.org> I don't like the Element look either. Everything in it is somehow cumbersome and crowded, and the security settings are scattered across 2-3 tabs at once (as it seemed to me). I've been wanting to switch to Cinny for a long time, but I don't want to mess around with encryption keys again (because it's a pain, a pain, a pain,)
[08:52:50]
<@greenstudios:aria-net.org> If I understood you correctly, then connecting rooms in different accounts of the Matrix network is not difficult. I even have a separate room for exchanging files, like "Favorites" in Telegram (encrypted, of course). The main difficulties with it are when using encryption keys. They are separated from the application itself, and they have to be stored separately in order to read encrypted chats. This is some kind of spy technology for state intelligence agencies, but not for ordinary graphic designers \ housewives ...
[08:57:56]
<@greenstudios:aria-net.org> I don't understand what there is to watch on Facebook... When I was still registered there, there were private shootings, tortures and executions, which eventually resulted in lawsuits from former FB employees. Bots in Fediverse offer much more interesting (and simply cute) content, which significantly lifts the mood... If only I could find the right one...
[09:02:52]
<@greenstudios:aria-net.org> I had the opposite process: after using Ubuntu for 1 quarter, I realized that I simply don’t understand how to make the Windows applications I need work in it - and, as a result, I just keep it on a parallel disk purely for applications written specifically for it (which are good, I don’t argue).
[09:08:45]
<@greenstudios:aria-net.org> What's the safety record on this bridge...? No, I don't need it yet, although I welcome any kind of bridge, of course. It's just, uh. does it keep traffic from leaking out? Is there any leakage of encryption keys? Is there no interruption of communication on the part of Telegram due to unreliable/unusual input?... Does your bridge support its bot windows like GigChat channels with VPN stores?
[09:33:53]
<julian> ??? Do i miss something the last days or is that just a one sided "discussion"
[09:55:02]
<Maranda[x]> One sided
[10:16:25]
<julian> > Which gateway room?
So did the info I gave in Feb 19 help? Or can I assist further?

[15:51:54]
<julian> OK this getting out of Hand, look at the descrapancy
[15:52:27]

[15:53:39]
<julian> See how much there is more being posted. That's just the difference between 2 phones, and the same account.
Both were online, and connected all that time
[16:13:54]
<Maranda> Your assertion about the being "connected all the time" can't be true, A) because today I restarted the bridge several times to fix some bugs B) Yesterday the same
[16:13:57]
<Maranda> But let's be clear you're expecting reliability off a free service that doesn't have any kind of SLA and is offered AS IS
[16:17:56]
<Maranda> If you find it unreliable you're totally entitled to either not use it or find another more reliable solution
[16:36:44]
<julian> No, rather think something on my end is wrong. As one phone gets updated, and the other doesn't. Especially bad on the xiaomi that currently is my main phone.
[16:38:37]
<julian> Both cheogram clients seem to handle it better. But conversations on the xiaomi, not as much.
So there seems to be something off with my xiaomi and between the phones
[16:43:34]
<wgreenhouse> julian: IME it's both things: Conversations is bad at noticing it's not in channel anymore; Bifrost is bad at multiple presence in MUCs
[16:43:57]
<wgreenhouse> Cheogram does mildly better because it does muc self-ping to notice when it's been dropped
[16:48:24]
<julian> 🤔 hmm let me guess, having one phone and one dedicated account using the bridge would improve tremendously.
TBH, I'm amazed that it's even possible and working.
I'll create a new account on cheogram and join the group with it, and remove all others.
Will report back

yeah that'd be one option, pick one client to do matrix bridge stuff
[16:49:35]
<wgreenhouse> or just lower expectations
[16:49:54]
<wgreenhouse> doubt it will improve, upstream is abandoning bridge development
[16:50:22]
<wgreenhouse> https://matrix.org/blog/2025/02/crossroads/
[17:16:14]
<julian> Heard about that. Right at a time as I (as a Normie) learned that such things are even possible.
[17:16:34]
<julian> Dang shame 😢
