  Matrix is cool but it really suffers from complexity.

    Let’s not mention the abysmal performance for servers. Making it largely infeasible to scale.

      What are you using instead? I only recently set up my synapse server and I’d be interested to head what the alternatives are

        I’ve found SimpleX a much better solution than matrix for a discord alternative.

        Conduwuit is actively developed and works pretty nice for me. Single user, but bridged to hundreds of telegram, WhatsApp and discord rooms. As well as a few matrix rooms too.

        Synapse has seemingly improved since 2020.

    those are called spaces there. but there’s no flexible roles system. also no hop-on voice channels yet, but that’s a client feature so maybe that’s a bit different
