Awful tp self-host (resourcesy administration) and rolling their own crypto
On the UX-Side it’s too complicated to explain to my parents.
I’ll just stick woth Signal

rolling their own crypto
No, it uses well-known, well-proven, standard crypto.
It also uses double-ratchet key management, much like what Signal does.
The reference server is a bit heavy if you’re federating with large public rooms, but lighter alternative servers are available.

they do have a special crypto usage which they have sensibly rewritten in Matrix 2.0

Encryption is a mess with Matrix. Randomly doesn‘t encrypt messages. Most non-techies don‘t get the process of saving key files or creating secure passphrases.

Looks like someone didn’t read the article. See part 4: Invisible Encryption.

I did. I refered to the current version and the comment that is has always been a great product.

So you were aware that this announcement includes fixes for the encryption issues, yet you decided to post a comment complaining about them anyway, ignoring the point of this post and giving readers the false impression that the issues are unaddressed.
And you did it just to contradict someone who has found the project useful.
That’s not helpful to anyone. Quite the opposite, I’d say.

Honestly in my experience all issues with decryption have been solved for more than a year. No matter if im using android, web or desktop. Idk about apple shit but thats just not a priority probably.
Todays desktop release finally enables the new voice/video calls/rooms feature which was the last serious complaint i had.
