Some nice news. So we are moving our chats entirely to Matrix. Matrix is like Slack, Whatsapp, Signal, or any such messenger. But perhaps better. It is a proper messenger. Supports encrypted chats, text formatting, emoji (ofc), video/audio calls, you can group rooms into spaces, file-send support with preview, and more. We will soon add it to our trom.tf list of services and showcase it in detail. But the great part is that we have linked it to our old drive.tromsite.com chat, that is a Nextcloud Talk chat.
So we are giving up to the old Nextcloud chat and more to Matrix. But our public chatrooms are still functional. So we get the best of the two worlds.
Therefore tromsite.com/chat will not be closed. Also, our TROMjaro Support chat will not be closed.
It is really great that we can bridge 2 completely different chat platforms together. #tromlive

We added our TROMtext back to TROM.tf text.trom.tf/ because it offers, we think, something more unique: a real time collaboration on text editing that's super fast. We've also added TROMpaste paste.trom.tf/ - this is a very simple tool used to very quickly share any piece of text.
If you memorize the URLs of some of our tools, then it is super easy to access them. Want to send files? SEND dot TROM dot TF. Because it is SEND, hosted by us (TROM), and it is Trade-Free (TF).
Wanna host your files? FILES.trom.tf. Get "social"? SOCIAL dot... VIDEOS dot .... OFFICE dot....and so on.
Actually all you have to do is memorize what you want to do :D. Send, File, Maps, Text, Paste, Memes, Videos, Diagrams, Poll, Search, Office, .... and add trom.tf.
We hope you really take advantage of these tools because they are really useful and trade-free. #tromlive

How Drug Gangs Actually Work | How Crime Works ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=y_TV4GuXFo…
Good video with a non-surprising conclusion: punishing people does not work. We must understand where problems arise and try to fix it at the root. The "war on drugs" is a complete failure. Humans do not know how to solve problems it seems. When we observer some "bad" behaviors we must first ask if we are right in labeling them as such, and next question should be: "what creates these behaviors?". #tromlive

We will shut down pass.trom.tf (vaultwarden) and text.trom.tf (etherpad). pass.trom.tf was added more like a test with a warning and only 2 users registered anyways. 1 of whom added 1 entry and the user was contacted to save its entry locally. This service takes more time to properly setup - for example to make sure it is secure, has a 2FA enabled, works with other clients, and more. We do not have the time right now to do all of this and we do not want to provide any service that is not very well tested and that works reliably.
Etherpad (text.trom.tf) is unnecessary when we already have office.trom.tf + files.trom.tf. Both are great office suites and office.trom.tf provides a super easy and fast to setup document editor. It is pointless to have Etherpad that brings nothing new or different from office.trom.tf.
We need useful services that are well setup and maintained, not a lot that are meh. #tromlive
