[Matrix/Element]Dead
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)

MODERATORS
I can't confirm this. For me it runs smooth and without bugs. Calls with Element are sometimes better than calls with my mobile carrier.
But I don't have the technical knowledge to understand why a backend in python is a bad thing. Maybe your experience with Matrix is biased because of this knowledge?
I had a terrible, completely unusable experience with Matrix before I found out what it was made with. It took several minutes to load, 5-10 minutes to join a room, and about a couple minutes per message (which would just not send half the time). It was slower than email.
when did you experience this?
loading the web client also takes a lot of time (1-2 minutes) for me, but everything else is ok. even that is because of an API design problem, and they are already working to replace that bad decision
I think it was about a year or two ago.
I believe it was this year that they made some great improvements in performance, so you might get a different experience if you try it again.
I tried it again and the difference was astounding! Instead of waiting multiple minutes to send one message, I only had to wait a whole minute!
I like the idea of a federated chat platform, but I'll have to stick to discord for now, it would seem.
Well, it looks we might have convinced someone that it's not that bad :)
This huge difference in experience isn't a great sign. But I hope it gets better over time.
