Similar hostile takeovers happened to the Python community, GNU and the FSF. More than 700 FLOSS projects have abandoned freenode and now the Linux.Chat community has left as well; find our new home at #linux on Libera and our multi-platform community website here.
不過看了一下發現 support 期間還是很短,一般的 release 是三個月,ESR 也才九個月:
另外一個大問題是在行動平台上多帳號的支援,官方在「Mobile Apps FAQ」有提到這個問題,然後也有解釋技術上的問題,不過從 issue tracking system 可以看到官方對這個 feature 進展不怎麼快:
At the moment, we only support connecting to one server at a time; however, we are aware that this is one of the top feature requests for the mobile app. We are currently investigating some technical challenges, such as how to handle push notifications coming from multiple servers. To follow our progress on this feature, you can join the RN: Multi-Server channel on our community server.
You can now see Wikimedia-related discussion groups in Slack, Discord, Telegram, Facebook, and many more.
這些平台都還是放在外部,就會有很多隱私上的考量:
Besides being scattered and inaccessible to people who don’t have accounts in those platforms (for privacy reasons for example), these platforms use proprietary and closed-source software, are outside Wikimedia infrastructure and some harvest our personal data for profit.
IRC on freenode.net is a good alternative but it lacks basic functionalities of a modern chat platform. So we created Wikimedia Chat, a Mattermost instance hosted in Wikimedia Cloud.
比較特別的是超過 90 天的記錄會被砍掉?不太懂這邊的邏輯...
As a Wikimedia Cloud project, all of discussions, private and public are covered by Code of conduct in technical spaces and due to Wikimedia Cloud privacy policy all discussions older than ninety days will be deleted.
這邊用的是官方提供的 MTProxy,我把安裝的懶人包放在自己的 wiki 上了:「MTProxy」,在 AWS 或是 GCP 上安裝時,因為網卡拿到的是 Private IP 而非對外的 Public IP,需要指定 --nat-info 告訴 MTProxy 要針對協定裡面的 IP address 另外處理。
