Someone recently posted asking if we had a Matrix room. I used to be opposed to hosting one because moderation can be a bit difficult. The recent Discord issues have shown more interest in Matrix lately so I guess it’s worth experimenting on.
You can join the room #general:ani.social using any existing Matrix account if you already have one. But if you would like to make a new account on the server, you can DM me for a registration code. The room is public so anyone can join.
The server uses Matrix Dendrite which means that there may be some Matrix features that are not available yet.
I’m running synapse, but I set it up back when it was the only real option if you wanted feature-completeness.
Tuwunel is likely what I’d recommend to new admins.
