A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I recommend getting beeper it's similar to sunbird although it is paid but they do open source all of their back end infrastructure. Beeper is essentially just a matrix client for a bunch of different chat service bridges.
Cheers for the heads up.
beeper does look interesting but I am weary of sign up and we will tell you when you can join type apps.
And this rings a few alarm bells for me:
I would love for this to work but that alone has a host of issues around third party trust.
Sadly, not being in the EU means I will likely pass on this but is sounds great for EU residents when the above is implemented.
Fair enough. Although if you are interested all of their messaging bridges are available on their GitHub if you would like to self host them with your own matrix server. That way you don't have to worry about them decrypting and reencrypting your messages.
This is a great way to host matrix with bridges https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
I made a video about why this has to work like this and what you can do to prevent it but still have all the benefits:
