FAQ

Why Element / Matrix?▼

With Element we can host everything on our own servers, meaning there is no higher authority to take down our chats and straight up kill our vibe. No phone number required, fully encrypted DMs.

Is it safe?▼

Much safer than Telegram — all DMs between people are end-to-end encrypted. Public chats are not encrypted (for ease of use), but even if they were you should still never reveal personal information about yourself in there.

How can I avoid getting scammed?▼

Everyone has a tag in their username that tells you who they are:

@name:admin.tess.ht🛡️ Admin

@name:vendor.tess.ht🏪 Vendor

@name:user.tess.ht👤 User

Only trust usernames ending in :admin.tess.ht or :vendor.tess.ht. Anyone with a user tag is just another person who signed up like you did — they could be anyone, potentially a scammer or a fed. Admins & vendors will nevermessage first & never ask for money.

Can we speak more freely now?▼

Yes — but guns, bombs, etc. are still not to be discussed as they attract unwanted attention. Stick to harm reduction discussion about drugs.

Will there be bots on here?▼

Not yet. Matrix does allow bots but they are not as safe as we would like them to be right now.
