Comment on Is Matrix cooked?

Matrix has always been way too bulky for being a simple messenger. Imo their architecture was cooked from the start.
This. I know a lot of folks in the fediverse like Matrix, but the user experience feels like yet another platform that started with the platform architecture, and not the end user’s experience.
Then it gets adopted by a bunch of people who enjoy installing Hannah Montana Linux distros for fun, and no one else.
the new apps are great and they’ve replaced the hot part of the encryption code in rust. the web ui is still clunky but generally fine

But its not a simple messenger though. If you want something simple, IRC is always available for use.
