I should love Matrix. It is a decentralised, privacy preserving, multi-platform chat tool. Goodbye Slack and your ridiculous free limits. Adiós Discord and your weird gamification. Suck it IRC with your obscure syntax and faint stench of BO. WhatsApp and Telegram can stick their heads in a bucket of lukewarm sick and sing sea shanties! Let's join the future! The problem is - Matrix is shit. Not …

    Yes you’re missing a lot. SimpleX even has a directory bot to find public group chats.

      SimpleX public rooms work smoothly, IMO, but a lot of rooms have problems with casual Nazism and general rudeness. Some are more moderated than others. I gave up on groups eventually and just use it to talk to people I know.

        I don’t see how that’s a SimpleX problem. People like that are obviously going to gravitate to “free” platforms where they’re free to be shitheads. There’s no administrative oversight. That’s what you want.

      Is ðis right? In a group wiþ 6k members, each message posted to ðe group is 20MB of traffic? I suppose ðis is a consequence of ðe E2E design - a message posted sends a message to 6,000 people, individually encrypted and delivered?

      Screen shot of a group wiþ 6k+ members, warning ðat each message causes a 20MB payload

      Do you happen to know ðe plan for addressing ðat? It seems like a fairly large impediment, and I can’t imagine what a solution would look like ðat preserves E2E.
