Activity on the http://matrix.org homeserver has been up 5x over the last few days, and we started to get dangerously close to the ceiling on the Synapse master process again... so we just fixed it with more workers (as per https://matrix.org/blog/2020/11/03/how-we-fixed-synapses-scalability)!
Happy birthday, Wikipedia 🎉

Hi @ColinTheMathmo
Firstly, I'm no great techie!
I use #Matrix with Fractal on the laptop and FluffyChat on the phone. I'm a fan of it. I've managed to persuade a group of friends to join. None of them had any problems doing so. And none of them are techie either.
Perhaps Matrix's Achilles heel is the server thing... Some signed up and stayed with the Matrix server, others changed after a period of time.
If anyone want a simpler #matrix client, I can recommend SchildiChat!
I dont know what the logo is thou

Trump is a danger to democracy. But the response needs to follow the law. Corporate censorship of what a head of state can say is totally inacceptable! When will our institutions finally set up their own interoperable social media nodes (fediverse) and force big tech to interconnect? https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-9-2020-005987_EN.html
If you put an asshole at the top, don't be surprised if you get shit all over the place!!

Practical advice:
1) Remember that often, we don't see the whole picture, and thus, conclusions might be biased.
2) Learning from 'successful' people might not be the best idea. Learn from everyone :)
