>demonstrating that their funds (do not) originate from known (un-)lawful sources, without publicly revealing their entire transaction graph.
tbh, I am skeptical about how the current status quo of government apparatus defines the "lawful" and "unlawful." So, it is total obfuscation without compromises.
@simping4xmrchan it is quite /comfy/. I can sling my posts around the fediverse back from my own corner on the internet lol.
>but the Element Matrix client is objectively slower,
there are many alternative matrix clients outside of the element. You can check out https://iamb.chat , which is a TUI matrix client written in rust.
>and it’s harder and more expensive to setup your own server.
I agree matrix homeservers use more CPU and RAM. However, there is an alternative matrix homeserver written in Go which is called Dendrite. Its system resource use manageable for a personal server.
There is also another client written in Rust, called conduit. I haven't used it, but I hear it is lightweight, too.
I don't agree that it is harder to setup a Dendrite homeserver. The internet is awash with such guides. Here's one: https://landchad.net/dendrite/
All in all, I don't hate xmpp. But matrix is "good enough". It has lots more users, many github repos that I am following has matrix rooms for help & discussion. Furthermore, working with matrix's end to end encryption is a lot more smoother than doing the same with xmpp.
Matrix is "good enough" in decentralization and privacy, and much more easier to use than xmpp.
@simping4xmrchan don't mind me just trying posting to lemmy from my mitra instance. Let's see how will activitypub behave.
