FAQ

• Riot? Matrix? Synapse?
  • Riot is the reference client made by Vector.im, Matrix is the open protocol standard, Synapse is the server implementation for the Matrix protocol actually used on the server.
• Homeserver?
  • This is the term used by Matrix to describe an individual server, as part of the larger Matrix federated network.
• Federated?
  • Yeah, you can chat on the Kiwi Farms homeserver via another homeserver, and you can chat on other homeservers via the Kiwi Farms homeserver. Think of it like email where you can send and receive mail from other mail servers.
• What?
  • https://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq
• Someone from your server is spamming our rooms.
  • Ban the user from your room, then contact @crunklord420:matrix.kiwifarms.net to request user deactivation. We do not tolerate actual spam/room flooding.

So its a better/hipster discord?

Is it possible to migrate an account to a different homeserver? For some reason my account is using some random third party homeserver and I'd like to change it at some point

No, you just make a new account on whatever homeserver.

So its a better/hipster discord?

Yeah, it's FOSS, federated and supports group E2E encryption (manage your own keys). There's no way for the official Matrix.org homeserver to ban KiwiFarms users/rooms, they can merely blacklist the server from connecting to theirs, just like an email server might block emails but has no real power over the sending server.

I can certify the Kiwi Matrix chat space as "fun".

Why would i want to talk to you speds.... Why would you want to talk to me .

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

As far as I understood nobody can be told what the Matrix is, they have to experience it on their own.

Maybe I'll see y'all there.

 

[CrunkLord420]

Server is going down for updates.

edit: it's back

Exactly... I like the “distance” the forum threads, profile posts, and conversations put between us... this seems too direct... too immediate... I’m on the farms to have cold, meaningless non-interactions with virtual anons, not get closer to degenerate freaks.

main room is #general:matrix.kiwifarms.net, it might take a second to look up from another homeserver.

edit to reflect updated domain

@CrunkLord420 What's the plan for voice chat?

 

[CrunkLord420]

@CrunkLord420 What's the plan for voice chat?

It already works. I made a room called Voice to have a dedicated Jitsi widget, which is the client for the TURN/WebRTC server ran on the same box as the Matrix server.

 

[Marvin]

lol be careful with the voice chat. The widget will turn on your camera by default everytime.

These freetards are trying to get a free peep show because I'm sitting naked in front of my computer.

Is this different enough from Discord that Metokur could be sweet talked into using it? Could Ralph be talked into using it for that matter rather than using the honey pot that is Discord? Will Vegita collect the last dragon ball and make his wish for immortality? Find out on the next episode of KiwiFarms Z!

>try out the riot.im client in the middle of the night

I think self-hosted Matrix servers is a great solution for deplatformed, or at-risk groups. They can maintain independence while still being able to interact with other servers through the federated network.

I would really enjoy seeing actual controversy in the Matrix network. Would homeservers start blacklisting each other? Would the Matrix developers or Vector.im bend under media pressure? The only way to see the resilience of the inter-server network is to put it under pressure.

Just once I would like to see a good thing stay un-harassed by moral busybody no-lifers. Maybe that's just me.

I'm concerned about this eventually no longer being the case if Matrix ever makes using 3rd party IDs like phone numbers mandatory like they state in their docs.
