Introducing the /c/Autism chat room on Matrix/Element (matrix.to)

We now have a chat room for the smallest of talks! Just kidding. Infodumping is encouraged.

Rather than using Discord, we'll be using Matrix, which is a FOSS equivalent. It's pretty intuitive, so signing up shouldn't be much of a hassle, but let me know if you have any difficulties.

Here's a list of most Matrix clients: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/

I don't have an iPhone, so I don't know what the iPhone equivalent for this is. If you find out, let me know and I will adjust this post and the sidebar.

Matrix doesn't belong to the fediverse

Then why is OP saying that? they're full of 💩

Edit: How does it look now? Does it make sense and are their any inaccuracies?

[–] haelusnovak 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Am I OP being called 💩?

I honestly don't know much about this. I wasn't suggesting it was. I was trying to ask as I'm also new to all of this. 😵‍💫

[–] BackOnMyBS 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I was in no way judging you at all. Sorry if I was confusing. I was referring to myself as the OP that made the original post and saying that I was full of 💩 for being wrong. Thanks for asking to clear up the misunderstanding 🙂

[–] haelusnovak 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, thanks for clarifying! I thought I commit an unknown aggravating behaviour. Feel much better with your comment. 🙇

[–] BackOnMyBS 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh dang! I've seen the "Matrix User" in the Profile settings and been wondering what that was, and by virtue of it being Lemmy-associated I totally assumed that it was fediverse!

Thank you for explaining that it's apparently not!
Now I gotta make sense of what the heck it is, versus what it's not, and what role it plays in these Profile spots we can fill out
