monerobros.club | The XMPP instance dedicated to monero lovers and cypherpunks! - eviltoast

Why do we keep using something as bad as matrix?

No native proxy support (because it depends mostly on UDP and WebRTC), bloated clients (for the major part) and not truly decentralized (most users just registered on matrix.org’s servers and seem to not even know about other instances or self-hosting).

XMPP has been out for years and supports different type of E2EE, from the widely known PGP, to OTR and the newest and most used OMEMO.

No web registration is required, you can do all in-client behind a comfy proxy (like Tor) :).

Recommended clients:

Proxies for mobile devices: InviZible Pro, should be runned in VPN mode [for desktop just install the Tor daemon for your distribution]

Get out of the Matrix (literally), be free from companies and bullshit.

From a cypherpunk.

P.S. calls on this instance are disabled for security reasons and because the server is still not capable enough. Might consider to turn them on in the future.

    I’d like at least this place (Monero.Town) to be friendly to everyone, including children, girls, guys, and others. Previously, like a year or half a year ago, creating something like “Monero Garden” (or “kindergarten”?) was suggested perhaps based on a thought like that. I don’t mean a “safe place” heavily monitored and moderated, though.

    When I had posted “Undisputed Champion” in Monero Meme a few days ago, I couldn’t help but feeling that the guy depicted was too rude — not for political correctness or something but based on my intrinsic feelings, while also assuming that guys would probably feel nothing off about this… That is to say, freedom of speech is such a core value for me that I accept in principle, and even affirmatively support, expressions that are rude, insulting to me or ourselves.

    I know what you mean and can totally relate to what you pointed out; on the other hand, it’s just an identifier — e.g. “Gaki“ from kyun or “CockMail” are also pejorative or inappropriate if you know the language yet what really matters is not the name of a variable, but what is pointed-to by it.

    What’s in a name? That which we call Monero By any other name would work as well…
