It's reliable, it comes with just about all the features that you're likely to need, it's simple to set up, and it has some of the best security and privacy features in the business – if you want to escape the clutches of the big tech giants, this is well worth a look.https://www.techradar.com/uk/reviews/element-secure-messenger-review

GSoC intern, Alejandro, worked on making the code of our Matrix client Fractal more elegant, by using a piece of software provided and maintained by Matrix maintainers to interact with Matrix instances. Thanks to their efforts, Fractal maintenance is simpler and new features such as end-to-end encryption will be easier to implement!

Happy 10th Birthday Friendica!
Ten years ago the 1st commit to the git repository of Mistpark was made by Mike Macgirvin, a project that since has become Friendica accumulating some 27.000 commits contributing the work of more then 250 people from all around the world.Mistpark and Friendica themes from 2010 to 2020
Together we have build a social media platform that had many faces over the years. It has grown from a decentralized communication platform into an integral part of the Fediverse and Federation. Allowing its users to interact with their friends and family across the borders of nodes, projects and physical distance outside the world of data-harvesting corporations.
Thank you Mike and everybody else who has contributed their time to the project over the years! And while we are preparing the 2020.06 release of Friendica, lets have a big party to celebrate ten years of this wonderful part of the free social web.

Here's MoodleNet, the world's first federated social network for educators, a decentralised digital commons.
I've taken this as Product Manager from zero to one, and leave Moodle on Friday.
The team is calling this v1.0 beta and proud of what we've achieved. Unfortunately the management seem to think it's "alpha quality". You decide...

Really excited about the release of this new research into decentralized systems and UX/usability considerations... a topic very close to my heart.
It has lots of actionable advice useful to anyone building projects and products in this domain. The research includes input from folk in many communities, including #matrix and #xmpp.
