@charliebrownau No, it's not a problem. I use gomuks most of the time when I need IM only, but if you want e.g. video calls, you have to use Element or something similar that is hardly better.
If you run it in Firefox it's not an Electron app. Firefox is flawed, but you can't run Element in w3m. Matrix is flawed, but we don't have anything better. XMPP is not better, it had its days, but even with all the extensibility it failed to become what it could, it's a thing of the past.

Delta chat is Awesomeness - 05 March 2022

@charliebrownau Yes, I know what Delta is. Has its uses.
If you want to run your own server that can talk to clients on other server XMPP and email are fine. Matrix is not that.
It takes decentralization to another level and most of its shortcomings like increased hardware footprint and some minor data leaks here and there come from it.
Like I said, it has its flaws, but those aren't fundamental. It's in active development, give it time, it'll get better. XMPP never will.

@m0xee @safiuddinkhan Did you know that ((( MATRIX ))) was made by ex Mossad agents (Intel government spy agency)

@charliebrownau
Oh, I think I'm fine as long as it's not KGB 😂
I always thought that they had telephony background though.
The client has some controversial defaults about data sharing, it may leak your presence if you're in decentralized rooms — that's it. If there are backdoors, the implementation is the issue, not the protocol. And if the implementation is open source, just do the audit.
No, seriously, since when this Mossad shit is even a point?
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org

@m0xee @safiuddinkhan You can make voice calls with
- Sip
- XMPP
- Mumble
or
Jitsi Meet (WebRTC)
