Weechat-matrix-rs[1] is the fix for that, but it's not currently usable (I tried it yesterday, hard crashes trying to log in to a local homeserver). Maybe in a few more years......... [1] https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix-rs

> How do people connect to matrix? Unfortunately, I don't, yet. Still waiting on a decent TUI. I had my hopes up for weechat-matrix-rs[1] but it hasn't seen a commit in two months so I guess it's dead. And so I remain on IRC. [1] https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix-rs

> There's a Matrix plugin for Weechat There are two: * https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix is in maintenance mode, and in beta according to https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/weechat-matrix/ * https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix-rs is a "work in progress and doesn't do much yet"

There's a weechat plugin for matrix that's being actively developed here https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix-rs.

Apart from the official official clients: weechat-matrix: https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/188 (doesn't support cross-signing) weechat-matrix-rs: https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix-rs/tree/9c249f14038... (build failing, would be surprised if it supported cross-signing) Mirage: https://github.com/mirukana/mirage/issues/32 (no support for cross-signing) Nheko: https://github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko/issues/70 (automatically accepts keys as far as I understand) gomuks: https://github.com/tulir/gomuks/pull/154 (seems to be the only mention of encryption, I don't see verification of keys or cross-signing) Seaglass: https://github.com/neilalexander/seaglass/tree/dc97893343407... (seems to support e2e, but unfortunately macOS only) OCRCC Chatbox: https://github.com/nomadic-labs/ocrcc-chatbox (404, couldn't find it) FluffyChat

Read the rest

Flutter: https://gitlab.com/ChristianPauly/fluffychat-flutter/-/tree/... (might support cross-signing, first client that I could actually use) Daydream: https://github.com/daydream-mx/Daydream/issues/11 (sounds to me like there's still some way to go) Can you please not say that it's "completely untrue and disingenuous"? To me, working end-to-end encryption means that I can verify my own and other devices. Out of these, maybe Seaglass (macOS only) and FluffyChat Flutter support end-to-encryption in a way that I would use them. That's not "loads of Matrix implementations". Can you recommend a non-official client with end-to-end support including cross-signing and device verification?
