Element information
Element is a messaging app that lets you talk to people over the Matrix
protocol.
To get started, check out this link, where you can choose to either download Element for your platform or, if on a computer, open it in a browser.
The instructions that follow are for the desktop application and the web application, but the process is similar on all apps:
Press "Create Account"
Fill in a username and password
Hit register, and you're done!
This is copy pasted from my notes, I think I saw it last week, I keep meaning to ask about it
is this correct?
anyway, I think I'm still a mod for at least one comm (i havent checked in for a while though), I could potentially do some more but my health has been pretty bad lately and I have no confidence due to the bad vibes from a short stint in a community org
maybe ill be in touch
ps is your username the same on matrix?
my username is @carc0sa:chapo.chat
we self-host our homeserver and don't share the mod application outside of encrypted channels
