I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

I’m trying so hard not to hate this post but you have given me so many reasons to
use of UwU in something I absolutely need to share with others
mismatched fonts
comic something font
no human readable data next to the QR code
mismatched gradient radii in the corners
Make it stop 😭
EDIT: For those who care, this comment falls into the category of “said in jest, meant in earnest”. I know it’s all on-brand and comedic, but my gut reactions are what they are 😂
the only valid complain is “no human readable data next to the QR code”
Eh, the gradients hold some weight too for me, lol
For me it is the comic sans looking font
Those who would be off put by the UwU are not those I wish to talk to :3
The project is the “official community continuation of the conduwuit homeserver”. Conduwuit was a popular matrix backend until the project was archived.
Although interestingly, conduwuit says the official continuation is Tuwunel. interesting
Now this, I like!
Github, not so much
I find it hilarious that a government is sponsoring something with “UwU” in the name.
That is slightly misleading, they are/were sponsored by epost.ch / Swiss Post AG, which is a limited company.
Could you explain to us why you would recommend your project over tuwunel.
I avoid getting involved in these discussions, but previously on lemmy
Okay, I don’t know the history. It is unfortunate to not have project differences spelled out, because the truth is most of us know nothing about these things. Sounds like a no, but would it be possible for the projects to collaborate?
Considering the most recent is their lead developer getting banned from all Matrix Foundation rooms for CoC violations, the answer there is still no.
I’ve been using Tuwunnel since Conduwuit ceased developpment and I haven’t been able to find a reason to switch to Continuwuity yet.
Maybe this one should be named altuwunative.
Everything there (aside from perhaps not printing the full URL under the QR code) is deliberate and a part of the ‘brand’. Roboto + Sour Gummy for the fonts, asymmetry, whimsy. If you don’t like it, I’m sure you can use Element’s Synapse and you’ll be able to talk to people using Continuwuity just fine. That’s kind of the point.
Also https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Sour+Gummy?preview.script=Latn is way better than comic sans, you can’t convince me otherwise
This actually looks wtf lol
I’m saving this
Haha this is right in the middle of the spectrum between Comic Sans and Simpsons.
Looks like the Oatmeal’s font
It’s purely a backend, what’s under the hood is not really visible to matrix clients.
Edit: Though I wish this graphic communicated that more, just realized it doesn’t even say anything about [matrix].
stop? 👉👈 🥺 why UwU? me do wrong?
UwU. The cuteness is a huge plus IMO.
The problem is “cuteness” is very much in the eye of the beholder for things like this, and I’m with neatchee here, it’s not cute, and it makes it basically unshareable, and hence unusable in a lot of contexts. I appreciate the effort that’s gone into the project, but the name and publicity massively detract from that.
You don’t need to share any server technology names, just that it’s the Matrix protocol or “platform”, or even just “Element” if they are using that app. I don’t tell other matrix users they are on a Synapse server.
Only the host needs to know about the server app name, and is the only one who interacts with it directly.
Considering that it’s a fork of conduwuit, continuwuity is a pretty fitting name, UwU 😺
Hear me out: dont share it then and go find another option
Ow weewy, giv it a west! :3
I like it. It’s nostalgic, in a 90s sort of way 😂
