Comment on `continuwuity` vs `tuwunel`: where to go from `conduwuit`?

I don’t really like synapse, because it performs really bad. But at least it has a stable development. So that’s what I use.
But more and more I’m questioning if matrix is really the federated messaging platform we want. A lot of the drama and development issues of any synapse alternative seem to have their roots in how hard and unsatisfactory is trying to follow the matrix protocol which is subdued to synapse development in a weird form, apparently.
I still use it. But I’m too tired of the drama, and wondering if there’s even a chance for a long term synapse alternative, or if matrix devs are actually doing something that prevents that for ever happening.

Yes, completely agree. It seems that the matrix foundation could easily take a different path to allow the community to flourish and third-party servers to have a much easier time. Since I’m not federated, I wouldn’t even mind if whatever fork I’ll end up on eventually says “fuck this, we’re not following synapse specs any more”.
But yeah, I am sure selling premium accounts on matrix.org is what will save the matrix ecosystem… 🤦🏼♀️
