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.
XMPP works, but there are no video calls. Matrix has those, and they are very good. But since it is not possible there to see the online state of my friends (turned off everywhere due to horrible performance), it defeats the purpose. I want to see if they are at their computer, not if they own a mobile phone. 😉
I think they are OK. When switching to it couple of years ago ifeared there will be no-one but was please tly suprised. For sure you do t have situation where most of the participants in the room are ghost accounts because presence actually works. So might look smaller but you are sure it’s real users.
it’s been a while so i just picked random names for the bit but now i kinda wanna go back and read the dragons o autumn twilight series (mostly to get to time of the twins)
i want 90s era icq and 2000s era msn back :(

Are video calls really that important? I almost never do that.
But they both closed source protocols locked down to specific corp
What would you propose, then?
How about jabber/XMPP
How active are communities on these nowadays?

I wish xmpp was p2p. I can self-host but it could be way simpler if people didn’t have to.
But locked in a way where nice third party clients could still interact with them. I never used official clients after a time.
That seems to have gone away.
A/S/L?

Who was 400 years old from Krynn? Sylvara? It’s been a long time since I’ve read those books.
