Is matrix good to use, seen a lot of drama around it. For example hackliberty.org left it because of lacking of security and moderation, do you still recommended it?

    The protocole is fine I think the real problem is the synapse implementation but I could be wrong on that take I am no expert.

      While Synapse isn’t great, the problem is that the Matrix protocol is over-designed for a very specific purpose (distributed rooms), that comes with a severe performance penalty but most people don’t actually need this for chat.

      Its one of these cases of a neat idea on paper, but ultimately a solution looking for a problem.

      That said, Matrix isn’t that bad overall, but there are better options like XMPP.
