Comment on Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off

(It supports bridging anyway, so one could use an XMPP-Matrix bridge and a Matrix-crapland bridge simultaneously)

What’s wrong with Matrix?
rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
From practice - performance of clients and of servers too.
From emotion - it uses Web technologies.
From some logic maybe - if they are doing something new, then why not distributed architecture like Tox (at least identities not tied to servers), and if they choose something architecturally similar to XMPP, why not use XMPP.
However, emotion again, I really like Matrix APIs, these are definitely designed to be used by anyone at all.

Oh no! Web based protocol! Not stability, ease of debugging, less block rate, and easy SSL protection! The horror!!

What does this even mean in the context of data you’d transfer in Matrix?
Ease in which context? What’s so much harder to which you are comparing it?
Are you certain that something TCP-based gives that? Latency sucks too.
PKI is crap. Just saying. Easy and wrong.
Nobody said that.
And such an esteemed thing as Gnutella uses Web technologies.
I just don’t like it. It’s my opinion. Just as you have yours.
