You were so sweet to Keris and did the best you could to help in your situation. I wish you all the best 💜
If you need a friend hit me up on matrix. Same username. If there's anything I can do to help from afar lmk.
I just did what I wished someone would have done for me, that's all. And yeah I haven't had the time to set up a matrix yet and figure out exactly what a matrix is but when I do I will sure add you or whatever.
You also might wanna crosspost this to MTF to gain more visibility. I think the mods would be fine with that.
Hmmm, ok.
Setting up a Matrix account is pretty simple.
Go to Element's registration page (it's currently the most popular frontend for Matrix)
Set your homeserver (under "Host an account on") to one of these servers (the matrix.org homeserver sucks)
Username, password, done. (the email section will be removed once you switch to a homeserver that doesn't require one)
Matrix is a decentralized open source messaging platform with support for encrypted messaging. To oversimplify it, it is to Discord what Lemmy is to Reddit.
