I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

Well thanks for at least explaining what it is, but isn't Matrix already self hostable? Anyway what's wrong with IRC?

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 3 points 1 month ago

Matrix is a protocol, not a software. Continuwuity is one of the few servers for this protocol.

I don't mind the name. It's pride month so I figure the community would turn the silly up a notch.

Im not a tech person but, I'm gonna try it out. Thanks OP.

I thought this was an ad, then I remembered that I was on lemmy, and I got sad because this is an ad

Love and use this!

Solid, fast, amazing experience.... A breeze to setup as well.... Quite another thing than Synapse.

Does it work for non-furries(fleshies?)?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I was under the impression that they preferred to be referred to as 'skinnies'. We are all flesh, after all... well except protogen...

[–] arcine@jlai.lu 4 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Matrix's algorithm is fundamentally broken. I guess it works if you only talk to people you know won't abuse it, but otherwise it's easy to split rooms or even re-write their history if you want to...

Do they have MAS support yet? I kinda need my single signon :p

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't understand why people need SSO.

Every place I've every worked that had SSO had an outage, and then nobody could log in to anything.

SSO moar leik single point of failure amirite?

[–] shaztopher@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

yeah same, I don’t understand why people need DNS. Every place I’ve ever worked at that used DNS had an outage, and nobody could get into anything
