Very nice to see #wordpress embrace @matrix -- and now a Wordpress login is all you need to start chatting. https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2023/07/20/matrix-chat-summary-july-20-2023/
I've long moved away from Wordpress (Hugo FTW) but Matrix is a daily part of my life and we're seeing good adoption in our #Kamailio nodes.
Matrix at IETF117, Commune's revival, a new Matrix Swift SDK… that and much more happened this week in Matrix!

By the way, if you're into deploying your own Matrix bridge to Discord… I've got you covered!

The release of Element X on the App Store, sliding sync in Conduit and expiring messages in Nheko, that and more happened this week in Matrix!

The UK Online Safety Bill is continuing to progress through UK Parliament, putting end-to-end-encryption fundamentally at risk. Element tried to explain the disaster on the horizon to Sky News this morning: https://youtu.be/QQZ7sIk-iHQ

Cactus Comments has now seen over 1.2 million unique users - only counting guest users on our free public instance.
Guest users on instances not hosted by us and signed in users on any server don't even count in this statistic.
cactus.chat has to be the Matrix server with most guest users at this point...
I keep spotting cactus in the wild as well. Last week I saw someone using it for the comment section of a livestream! So cool.
Psst… don’t tell anyone, but; we’ve put an early release of Element X iOS on the App Store! It’s the fastest Matrix client ever, with an entirely new beautiful UI & UX. First release targets personal messaging, but lots more features coming soon!
