I have, and I've ran my own matrix synapse server for about a year. Hoping to change to matrix dendrite in the future. Go will be much faster than python.

how many users?

For person-to-person chat, toxchat (qTox or others) is better and more secure
Especially with the Russian external internet shutdown coming

Might be more private (Matrix metadata, such as who is talking to whom, is still known to the homeserver), but I have my doubts about it being more secure.

Because there are actually good Jabber clients that aren't Electron apps, unlike Matrix.

See your body into the moonlight
Even if I try to cancel
All the pictures into the mind
There's a flashing in my eyes
Don't you see my commission, the nation
Has gone running again
Can't you see now, illusions
Right into your mind
Deja vu
I've just been in this place before
Higher on the street
And I know it's my time to go
Calling you, and the search is a mystery
Standing on my feet
It's so hard when I try to be me, woah
Deja vu
I've just been in this time before
Higher on the beat
And I know it's a place to go
Calling you and the search is a mystery
Standing on my feet
It's so hard when I try to be me, yeah
See the future into the present
See my past leaves in the distance
Try to guess now what's going on
And the band begins to play
Don't you see my commission, the nation
Has gone running again
Can't you see now, illusions
Right into your mind
Deja vu
I've just been in this place before
Higher on the street
And I know it's my time to go
Calling you, and the search is a mystery
Standing on my feet
It's so hard when I try to be me, woah
Deja vu

Standing on my feet
It's so hard when I try to be me, yeah
See your body into the moonlight
Even if I try to cancel
All the pictures into the mind
There's a flashing in my eyes
Don’t you see my condition, the fiction
Has gone running again
Can't you see now, illusions
Right into your mind
Deja vu
I've just been in this place before
Higher on the street
And I know it's my time to go
Calling you, and the search is a mystery
Standing on my feet

Higher on the beat
And I know it's a place to go

PS: matrix/riot rocks.

The state isn't nearly that bad. Sure, Riot is the only truly fully-featured one, but others are still usable.
weechat-matrix supports encryption for text conversation, so it's quite usable as a general IRC replacement. Nheko too, if you're into GUI but want something more lightweight than Riot. Discord/Slack addicts should be okay with Riot, since the former are also Electron apps. Macfags even have a client with fully-implemented encryption, including files and such.
Sure, alternate clients could be better and with more features that'd bring them closer to Riot, but they aren't exactly *bad* when compared to standard clients for various other protocols.

Quaternion seems to be the best Matrix client, but it's still very worrying that all the reference/semi-official software is web-based.
I love the web, but javascript is hellish.
Michael Evans
Quaternion looks a bit to IRC-y (in a clunky UI way, not simplicity-wise) for a GUI client to me. Nheko and Fractal seem to have a bit cleaner UI.
Making the flagship client a webapp actually makes a lot of sense. It makes it really easy for new users to try the platform out (they just need to open a webapp), you can link to public rooms so that guests can preview them without installing software and you can still pack them with Electron to make them a bit closer to a native app.
Carter Lewis
Nheko and Fractal look like Telegram, which is phoneposter garbage. I know this, because I unfortunately used to use it.
All this humongous space, and it's not because of large easy-to-read fonts, it's because of empty space for touch-screens.
>It makes it really easy for new users to try the platform out
Yes, but it makes the platform worse. Making a platform easier to try should only be done when it improves the platform.
Nolan Edwards
Don't get me wrong, I hate discord, but my friends use discord and I use it to voicechat while gaming with them.
Asher Campbell
You're no better than your friends, then.
Christopher Smith
2. Both me.
Zachary Cruz
What's the point if I have no one to talk with?
Logan Fisher
I think there's a Jow Forums room but you not having friends is not riot's problem.
Thomas Brooks
B-but my bf is next to me! I don't need chat to uwu at him and get headpats.
Sebastian Young
I think it's worse...
And it breaks the fundamental right to be forgotten
Since you are not on a server, you can't delete your posts conversations and things like that, it's worse than belonging to 1, your data is spread across thousands.
Mason Roberts
At least I don't use winbloat, but I guess you're right.
Brandon Gray
Can you make channels and shit?
Aaron Richardson
Yes. Click the + next to the "ROOMS" header on the left sidebar.
Caleb King
>Yes, but it makes the platform worse
in what way? The most popular client's implementation doesn't have any bearing on the protocol standard.
People really have to stop thinking of stuff as "platforms". Matrix is not a "platform". It's a protocol the same way email is a protocol.

its probably full of miners too

no?

Yea they did
Lurk more

Nice sources, thanks!
Michael Sullivan
Me too, it's great. Alongside nextcloud.
Logan Adams
There's an option to not allow a room to federate. Create and use only such room and all data will be on one homeserver.
Dominic Diaz
I guess they just couldn't find someone to design a logo for them while they spewed out code. So sad, Jow Forums would never have such problems.
