@strypey @rl_dane It's slop, you can easily tell that from commit messages
Have you tried Shoot? https://github.com/maddyunderstars/shoot
It's another ActivityPub-based group messaging app -

Source code is on GritHub, under AGPL;
https://github.com/zcharef/harmony
Anyone know anything about this? So far I haven't been able to find fediverse accounts for the project itself, or the creator.
@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz AAAAAAA
Please stop using name Harmony, please!
It's:
1. Abandoned chat protocol
2. Fork of Spacebar
3. ActivityPub discord alternative (slop too btw)
4. This one
5. Matrix client -
@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz if you would like to try without hosting, the invite to official instance are available at maddy's fediverse page (or just ask here, i hope it doesnt expire yet)

> Please stop using name Harmony, please!I agree. It's obvious, trite, and already heavily overused. Feel like opening some issues to that affect on their forges?

@alteredspecifis
> Similar to what matrix has with "spaces"I've thought for a while it seemed logical to replace Miscord with Matrix apps that mimic the UX of using Miscord, connected to a vanilla Matrix server. The idea of combining ActivityPub federation with Matrix E2EE is innovative, and I'm very curious to see how it works out.
My concern with linking ActivityPub/Fediverse to a matrix channel is that users wouldnt realise its going out to a public facing endpoint and not just in the channel.
Would be somewhat awkward with a chat being mirrored to something slower like Mastodon.
(One thing i have wondered about those bridges, how do they handle threads?
Are they internal to matrix only or will they sent out over the bridge

> My concern with linking ActivityPub/Fediverse to a matrix channel is that users wouldnt realise its going out to a public facing endpoint and not just in the channelIf it's a public Matrix room, then it *is* going out over a public facing endpoint. Each Matrix message has a URL, and public ones can be seen by anyone with that URL. If it's a private room, then presumably the messages would either not be bridged, or bridged as Direct posts visible only to room members.
