I've been using Riot.im for a few weeks, both the web and the mobile client, and...
...it's a pretty damn solid experience! Finally a well-designed, secure, free as in freedom IM that doesn't suck.
Could you all, you know, ditch Slack, IRC, WhatsApp, Telegram and Discord and move to Matrix? Onegai-shimasu 🙏
@theMannyWillNotBeTelevised Ok, you might have tested it too long ago. Now it Just Works (tm) for large groups.
Try joining this one:
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#fediverse:matrix.org
@theMannyWillNotBeTelevised I guess I'll just kick it...
@codewiz @theMannyWillNotBeTelevised on Riot/Web or Desktop you hover over the names to get a unique device ID (sorry for bad UX :( )
@theMannyWillNotBeTelevised Well, admittedly, I now have 5 clients all called "riot.im/app (Chrome, Linux)", and there's one which needs to be verified, but I can't figure out which one it was 😅
