> I would also recommend leaving a lot of those features at the door, anyway. Typing notifications and read receipts are pretty toxic, if you examine them critically. A lot of chat apps have a problem with cargo-culting bad ideas from each other. Try to resist that.
Very true.
@makeworld this is the guy that threatened to black hole your users if your browser implemented favicons right?
Matrix.org is trash many servers have found other places to host their channels and just provide a Alias to matirx.org. Overall is it perfect.... no, but is it improving...yes! Also if all you want is chat and nothing else fancy there are a couple client that support the encryption stuff on mobile and desktop that are not based on Element if a "modern" chat client is not your cup of tea.

@makeworld well, as someone running a service he's in a position of power and threatened to abuse that power - so I think it's hilarious when he writes things like this.
@makeworld It's hard to take seriously someone who says "compelling alternative to IRC" in 2021. Literally anything is better than a protocol that requires users to stay online 24/7 to not miss discussions.
It certainly is not developed quickly for one reason or the other. But there is stuff like conduit too.
Plus I have been following the matrix Friday news and there has been news now and then. It is still in active development. Just maybe not as much as it will replace everything this year
@makeworld I run a Matrix server and have no problem keeping it up and running.
It's a small server, so maybe if you have tens of thousands of users it performs poorly? As for poor client performance, again, I've seen no evidence.
Confusing UI? Neither I nor any of my users have had any problems. Don't know what they're on about.
I tried Dendrite first and almost abandoned Matrix because of it. It was a nightmare. After I switched to Synapse, all the problems went away.
