Our TROM Discussions chat on Matrix is now TROM Community Discussions: This chatroom is not representative of TROM, but allows for a public discussion space, hopefully around TROM-like subjects.

I, Tio, need to focus on a new video series for TROM and that chat was keeping me too busy at times. While the discussions can be interesting, they are often offtopic and for me quite distracting,

I will keep an eye on the chat from time to time tho...

So you know.

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.

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.
