  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.

        Nice! Looks like a cool matrix platform! I’m on synapse myself but this looks cool

      Synapse has seemingly improved since 2020. A word of warning though: if you join large rooms from your server, Synapse will eventually grow the DB to a huge size due to a “lookup” table state_groups_state, and will require manual cleanup.

        Woah nice heads up I appreciate it!

        I’ll keep the janitor tool in my pocket for now as my instance takes up negligible space at the moment but someday that might not be the case.

        Here’s the referenced tool for anybody else interested:
