I want to adopt Matrix but getting started is the hardest part

Getting my friends to shift over is a pain in the ass for sure

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago

I have my friends and family on Matrix.

My instance is over 7 years old.

Love it, can't imagine being without it.

That's where a Ulysses pact can help: https://pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/ulysses-pact/

It was hard to get everyone off aim too but it happened.

Then again there is always IRC.

You SHOULDN'T have gotten people off AIM. AIM was awesome!!!

We used it literally til the servers turned off.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Apparently at least one person is working, fairly successfully, on a server clone. I think it was this one, but I only know about it from one YouTube video I watched weeks ago.

Sadly Pidgin dropped oscar (aim protocol) support years ago because undeveloped and insecure. So either install a plugin or use the old clients.

On the up side, a complete understanding of the server protocol means new clients can be written.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I didn't know Pidgin had dropped it, but yeah - the video I saw as well as the git page linked both reference the original client. Is Trillian still around? What about Adium?

I have a friend who is just so damn stubborn when it comes to mixing up their "comfortable" things if they aren't the one to come up with the idea

Very frustrating

The hardest part of using Matrix is basically everything about Matrix. They're an unholy combination of Slack, Discord, and Signal... And not very good at any of those things
