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?

    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.
