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.

For this service, is the same login as Lemmy used, or a totally new one? It's confusing to me when these Fedithings interact and when they do not. Sorry if this is obvious! 😵‍💫

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. 😵‍💫

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 🙂

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