  I’ve been trying to get away from matrix since it leaks metadata like a sieve. And I’ve been using SimpleX instead. Plus, it’s easier to manage the E2E keys and not fuck up and lose access to your messages.

  I was on Matrix but then I got tired of how buggy and broken it was

  Thanks! I have no idea what matrix is though, is it like an open source / decentralized discord?

    It’s an attempt at reinventing IRC while neglecting to realize XMPP exists.

    It’s an open source and decentralized messaging protocol matrix.org It is messenger first and “Discord” second, but it can be used as a public server in a similar way.
