A Mirror or a Fix? Generative AI and the Crisis of Educational Imagination
Generative AI is sparking urgent conversations about plagiarism and assessment—but what if the deeper problem lies in our narrow educational imagination?

Our chat.trom.tf (Matrix/Synapse) has become very difficult to manage - growing database, not an easy way to prevent bots from registering, or others from abusing our service.
For now we have closed the registrations and only accept them via requests. We have 460 users but we are thinking to perhaps shut down the entire service this year.
Too much work considering anyone can make trade-free accounts with matrix.org or other providers....
We will keep everyone informed about our future plans.

in reply to Tio • • •@tio Nextcloud Talk is a great Software, but there aren't good security options on it, the conversations are saved in clear text on backend.
If you have some tips for this point, I would pleased to see it ;)

in reply to P_L.yml • •I understand. I hope they can add encryption to the chats...but on the other hand if anyone gains access to our server and is able to read that "text file" in the backend, we are screwed anyway since we host a lot of services on or trom.tf. Including Friendica which is not encrypted....
So yes, I do prefer an encrypted chat, but things must be put into perspective. Our Nextcloud instance at trom.tf already provides encrypted files/folders for all users, so at least we have that.
