@helene I know that both reference server implementations are extremely heavy on resources, but what's wrong with the protocol itself?

@m0xee hard to sum up quickly i'm afraid... but it's terribly painful
i'll link to just one example, again (there are many cases like these) https://social.alternativebit.fr/objects/4ab9c4e2-f5bf-4d74-bb9f-b60a0a82aa59

@helene Thanks!
Yes, there are issues like this here and there, but the protocol is in constant development, so there is hope 😅
Federated rooms are really complex after all. XMPP doesn't have them so it doesn't have issues like this one.
I still think we should give Matrix a chance, after all it does get better with time. And I'll choose it over Telegram and Signal any day — using phone number is just cursed! And I don't trust Telegram at all 😋
