[Qgis-psc] #qgis on Freenode

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi there,

Well, matrix is an open and decentralized protocol, which Telegram is not.

>From my point of view, I would prefer Matrix, although it also as issues
like being over paranoic on security and encryption, which currently is
sometimes annoying from a UX perspective.

I've always been annoyed by the telegram/Signal/Whatsapp approach, where
it is much more difficult to discover if a QGIS room exists.

Matrix has room discovery just like IRC, and since we can host the
servers one days, I would vote for it.

If we really want to go on a phone-first centered app, I would rather
vote for Signal than for telegram, even if it is de facto here.

Ps: my phone, probably has yours, is full of
signal-whatsapp-telegram-matrix apps. Rationalizing this a bit would be
very nice for our project. 


Best regards

Régis
