If #XMPP could be used to implement a modern chat platform, then why did #Matrix become the go-to chat platform for #FOSS community?
Was it just because Vector / Element looked a bit more like #Discord compared to other XMPP clients?

My opinion on #matrix is slowly turning around. For years I promoted it as the best #FOSS chat protocol that will eventually become the "glue that connects all communication platforms together".
But the frustration with various issues within Matrix ecosystem keeps growing:
- Still can't log into matrix.org account with #Nheko on #Linux. Getting Cloudflare timeout (Error 524). Is my IP cursed?
- Apparently I also timeout when trying to view rooms in some space in Element desktop.

Mal eine vermutlich dusselige Frage zu #Matrix: Dort scheint es auch sowas wie "Räume" (so ne Art Gruppenchat) zu geben. Kann ich, wenn ich mich bei Server A registriert habe, trotzdem einer Gruppe auf Server B betreten?

I finally found time today to get my Mautrix bridges set up for Signal and Discord. It is so nice to now be able to use one app for most chats!
The only thing currently missing is an actively maintained bridge for WeChat. (I may be mistaken, but all the bridges I looked at seemed to be 3-5 years since their latest commit)

Sick of Element's shit, so trying out the Sable #Matrix client. And it's fucking awesome tbh. It's got threads, it's got stickers, it's got pronouns, it's got rich profiles, it's got furry nonsense. And I also just realized that it calls itself "sable" because it's "almost stable" which is really goshdarn funny.
The desktop client is still on Electron, but Element was using up 6% of my CPU for some reason and refusing to let me leave rooms, whereas Sable is not.
