What is Matrix?
Matrix ≈ Discord - tracking + end-to-end encryption (by default)
Matrix is a protocol for real-time communication (text, audio, and video) implemented by various applications (“clients”) – the official one is Element for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS), but there are many others, e.g. those listed here. It’s also federated, like Lemmy. To use a Matrix client, you need to make a Matrix account at one of the Matrix homeservers (similar to how you can make an account on lemmygrad.ml or lemmy.ml but still access both of them). We have our own Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz
, and you don’t need an email address to register an account there.
How do I join the space?
(If you already have a Matrix account, skip to step 3)
- Download a Matrix client (e.g. Element) on your device.
- Create an account in the client. You can select
genzedong.xyz
as your homeserver here; if you choose the defaultmatrix.org
, you’ll need to enter an email address. If it doesn’t work on your client, try using Element Web for registration. - Log in.
- Read the rules in
#rules:genzedong.xyz
and the vetting questions in#vetting-questions:genzedong.xyz
, and then answer the questions in#vetting-answers:genzedong.xyz
(don’t worry, it shouldn’t take long).
What is the space?
A collection of rooms (equivalent to Discord channels) focused on various topics. The space is intended for Marxists-Leninists, although baby leftists may also be accepted depending on their vetting answers.
