### Why so many accounts?
|
||||
|
||||
In my opinion it's preferable to have multiple accounts on different homeservers for ensuring decentralisation instead of having a single authority in power and being able to issue commands from multiple servers in case of federation meltdown which multiple rooms experienced during the period of room version 9 before homeserver software started to nag on unintentionally open registration refusing to start. Additionally state resets are a good reason to keep old accounts around.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why do you use Matrix URI scheme instead of matrix.to?
|
||||
|
||||
I dislike matrix.to as a concept. It's a centralized service on decentralized protocol and in my opinion it shows lack of self-esteem on Matrix side considering neither XMPP or IRC require something like it, both of those trust being known or handled appropiately.
|
||||

### Why does one of your accounts have capital letter in the username?
|
||||
|

In 2016 or so I mistakenly thought that usernames would be case-insensitive
|

and they only [got banned in Synapse on 10th November 2017](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/2662).
|
||||
|

### Which client do you recommend?
|
||||
|
||||
The one that fits your needs. Personally I mix-and-match:
|
||||
|
||||
- FluffyChat on mobile
|
||||
- I am a Finnish translator and moderator. It does multiple accounts.
|
||||
- hydrogen.element.io PWA mainly on mobile, sometimes on desktop
|
||||
- It's the only Matrix client that is yet to log me out randomly, very stable, multiple account support and so far the only Matrix client running on Nokia 1 (TA-1047).
|
||||
- develop.element.io / Element flatpak on desktop
|
||||
- `/devtools` is essential (see my critiques), and they don't support Fedora.
|
||||
- Nheko nightly flatpak on desktop
|
||||
- I am a Finnish translator, it's actually the most Spec-complete client in my experience without long delays before something becomes supported and it's lightweight probably for being a native app instead of Electron.
|
||||
|
||||
### Which homeserver do you recommend?
|
||||
|
||||
I am hesistant to recommend any. Finnish users may be interested in the [Linux.fi wiki listing](https://www.linux.fi/wiki/Matrix), everyone else may be served by [joinmatrix.org listing](https://joinmatrix.org/servers/).
|
||||
|
||||
### Why don't you run your own?
|
||||
|
||||
As can be read between the lines from my critiques, I don't consider any homeserver to be in the state that it's either safe to run legally or lightweight enough or not require constant maintenance as opposed to IRC which I do selfhost.
|
||||
|
||||
The world situation in general discourages me from anything as heavy.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why cannot I see history in your Matrix rooms?
|
||||
|
||||
Matrix doesn't support self-destructing messages or message expiry in general, so
|
||||
I don't feel comfortable with world-readable logs (which would easily end to
|
||||
search engines forever).
|
||||

If you need to see something in the backlog, I suggest
|

using IRC (IRC@Etro or PirateIRC especially) or XMPP which each store messages

only for 7 days (Ergo default) or some months (Prosody default) on a single server.
