oof, that's just sad. i hope people switch, firefox is actually not that bad these days
hi everyone! hoping to find other like-minded authors here!
as for myself, i often like to write fantasy, scifi, or some sort of thriller urban modern world setting but with fantasy or scifi in it! i usually work on novels, non-fiction or poems aren't really my area of expertise. so far my works aren't published yet, but i got already 2 drafts close to ready with multiple revisions, hoping to make a nice start once i'm ready to throw them out via self publishing. some current events, including the whole climate disaster happening, have certainly had an influence on it, also that i'm maybe sitting inside a little too much with curtains closed to focus on my work (oops). there's often a lot of apocalyptic vibes, societies crumbling, inequality, and such going on.
i also like to include lgbtq+ representation, and often it's a bit youth focused although more for older teens if anything, the topics can be a bit gritty. i'm curious to hear what everyone else who might join here at some point is up to!
For what it's worth, this is a long rabbithole on the whole e2ee thing so just in short:
From what I gathered poking around in the past XMPP's OMEMO seems to have had shakier protocol design often leading to silently lost messages if you use multiple devices (I asked around among devs what it actually did and why, would take a while to explain) while Matrix usually has noisily lost messages so you can try to resend. So since that happened to me I've abandoned XMPP personally, I wouldn't know why these differences existed or whether it was fixed since then.
(Regarding group chats, I also think e2ee is still useful there, can limit leaks a little if you use history since joining and ban leakers if possible.)
hi i'm new! i would be interested in a matrix chat about climate stuff if there ever is any, xmpp seems a bit wonky with its encryption in comparison or it was when i last used it
Is this spam? It looks a little like spam π
