- Comment on Matrix 1.9 just came out! 7 months ago:
This is great but I’m more excited for the custom emojis it looks like they’re finally getting to for 1.10. It’s incredible to me that such a core feature for chat has been moving so glacially for years but maybe they’re now taking it seriously?
As crazy as it sounds, custom emoji/stickers are table stakes for a chat client and the fact that Matrix hasn’t standardized it and Element has kicked PRs on it for over half a decade is really harming adoption. I’ve been running my own Marrix server and it’s already tough trying to get my friends and family adopted. Not supporting the most common fun feature OOTB has made it way more difficult.
