@element (and SchildiChat) clients are hardcoded to use matrix.to invitation links, even if room is located on non-matrix.org instance (like pmOS room).

Russian providers blocked matrix.to and all your room links in your "decentralized" messenger are currently dead.

This is NOT how decentralized messengers work.

@Evv1L you can put those links into your client to join still, the page on matrix.to just makes it prettier. matrix.to is also a very simple website, so anyone can host it and you just need to change the url, you can even change /etc/hosts to point to a non-blocked site.

@sulian @Evv1L I think changing /etc/hosts won't help because TLS certificates on a different server won't match.

@lyyn @Evv1L the idea was to just put 127.0.0.1 matrix.to, and then just `http-server . -ssl` in the matrix.to source directory, it will warn that the cert is self-signed, but that's fine

@sulian how many people will know how to do that?

@drq @lyyn @Evv1L it's just an example, the main point is that blocking matrix.to is just a minor inconvenience. Also you could probably make an extension that did something similar too
