The Matrix.org network has great potential, but after years of dealing with glitches, slow performance, poor UX, and one too many failures, I’m done with it.
The fact that many Discord and IRC channels (servers?) block Matrix connections has drastically reduced its usefulness for me. When I was running my own Matrix server, I could have gotten around it by using a puppet, but Synapse is such a hog I had to shut it down, and most of the IRC rooms I want to use don’t allow Matrix proxies.

The IRC (Biboumi) and Discord bridges (slidge.im) for XMPP work still fine and running your own server is super lightweight.
Not IME. Are you running Synapse? Gigabytes of disk usage and memory leaks requiring restarts.
I am talking about xmpp servers 🤷
Yup! Someone else pointed that out to me; I thought you were talking about the puppets and missed that you were talking about Jabber.
My bad!
They’re taking about switching to Jabber/XMPP, which is what those two bridges are for, and they’re saying XMPP servers are lightweight.
It’s a bit confusing in context, I’ll admit.
Oh. I did misread that. Thanks for pointing it out!
