It’s terrible. They’ve had years and years to get their shit together and they still can’t. It’s just horrendously bad.

Your server, not mine, homie. Shop around for a better admin who actually knows how to install the thing.

So the Matrix developers/creators don’t know how to actually install the thing then? lol not a good response homie.

The overloaded, overbloated main instance?

No, they don't. It either shouldn't exist or should be broken up.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

So the devs who created it can’t run an instance and it doesn’t scale properly. Yeah, I’m just gonna go out on a real short limb here and say that maybe the problem isn’t the instance.

Matrix is terrible any way you slice it.

Agreed, Matrix works fine as a toy, but it breaks down after a year or two with even a moderate amount of chat.

For me it broke down the second I started using it. I literally am unable to see chats on the only device I’ve ever used to access matrix, they’re all “can’t be decrypted”.
