it is kinda like "Sign Up With Gmail/Apple/Microslop" you get it, but for matrix

how??, well it is that a bot by the thing sends you a message in matrix (you have to input your username) you get a message that is a riddle for like kids but basically bots (unless it's AI which nobody dares to do) wont solve that easy

and you may self host it

so if you solve it (by entering a message) it you get a link to finsh the sign up/log in i made this idea so nobody has to use email which is controlled by big tech

Most confusing post on the planet, and maybe the whole galaxy.

    Email is not controlled by anyone. You can buy a VPS and a domain, and then set up your own instance completely freely.

    i upvoted you but because email isnt end 2 end encrypted and is kinda easy for ads and tracking so even if it is easy it isnt the best option for privacy

    even if matrix isnt encrypted on all chats it wont be used by advertisers for a long time

    Public chats are not protected from this regardless of encryption, because, unexpectedly, advertiser bots can simply join public rooms. On the other hand, private chats are almost nowhere used for advertising and spam as a private email.

    UPD: especially since matrix is decentralized, and to receive a message as the author suggested, you wouldn't just need to be registered, but to be registered on the correctly federated instance.

    Not all matrix servers are federated with eachother. Which island will your service support?

    well it isnt centralized so not one server for all those but like it is open source and you run it as something and you can get your own bot but it requires you to have a server you self host
