XMPP leidet seit Jahren darunter, dass kein Client wie der andere funktioniert. So hat es zig Jahre gebraucht bis #OMEMO in den wichtigsten Clients vertreten waren und dann stolperte man auch noch lange danach über die unterschiedlichen Implementierungen und Defaults. Tja, steckt halt kein Geld drin, alles historisch gewchsen. Immerhin laufen XMPP-Server auf Kartoffeln.

#Matrix-Server nicht, aber dafür wollte man alles besser machen: Dicke Finanzierung, große Akteure an Bord geholt, Standardclient #Element, der quasi die anzustrebenden Feature-Defaults vorgibt. Und jetzt geh ich als Newbie auf die offizielle Seite von Element und will den Messenger runterladen: element.io/download
Dort wird mir dann #ElementX nahegelegt. Blöd ist nur, dass das Ding zig Sachen nicht kann, die man über Jahre hinweg beim alten Element eingeführt hat und wo viele Leute inzwischen drauf bauen. X hat keine Unterstützung für Spaces, keine Nachrichten-Threads, keine Nachrichten-Suche. In meinen Matrix-Gruppen hab ich ständig Diskussionen, ob wir dieses oder jenes Feature nutzen können, weil Client XY es nicht unterstützt – darunter der FRICKING Hauptmessenger von #Matrix. Es ist zum Verzweifeln. 😫 (2/?)

The more I use #Matrix, the more I'm puzzled why it isn't mainstream just yet. It can literally take the place of anything - any messaging/phone call/video call apps like #WhatsApp or #Telegram, group chats (even with screensharing) like #Discord, #Teamspeak, #Slack, or #Teams - all of that and it might even be more secure (or private) than something like #Signal since you don't even need a phone number to sign up. All you need to do to get on board is to register an account on an instance (of which you could even stand one up yourself), and use the service on a good app - #Element and #ElementX seem to be the best on desktop and mobile respectively. If you don't fancy installing an app, you could even use it on the web - something you couldn't even do on Signal.

I like it so much, and I think it should be mainstream so much, that I had just updated my resume to replace my phone number with a Matrix link instead lol - and I feel much better not having my (work) number displayed in public. Idk if that'd be an issue (i.e. for a recruiter), but meh, the link even takes you to a pretty portal (stood up by the Matrix instance) that tells the reader how to reach me (i.e. app options they could launch/install, etc.). All in all, I'm so, so, so SORRY for thinking Matrix is just what #FOSS/#Linux nerds use to be different (to be private, really) when really, it's just a really cool communication protocol/service EVERYONE should use - not freakin' WhatsApp or #iMessage (I see you, Americans).

Anyone has the same problem as me? #Matrix is a great protocol, has a lot of features and is mostly secure, but...

It's really slow if you are in a lot of rooms, #ElementX is blazing fast but far away from feature complete...

I tried other clients like #SchildiChat and #FluffyChat but without #SlidingSync everything is so slow...

It takes half a minute to show the recent messages with #Element and just about a second with ElementX but currently I am using both which is annoying...

New #Matrix #ElementX is wild.

Signed into an account and the recovery key doesn't work.

To reset this key I have to use a desktop computer. I cannot use this device to reset my key for some reason.

To verify without my recovery key, I need to find another device to verify this one.

There is no option to logout.

I am stuck on this screen. I assume an uninstall will fix this, but why even bother reinstalling at this point?

At least my messages are secure.
