    Fun is the least of my concerns. I don’t know why people compare the 2 when they have almost nothing in common. One is a chat app and the other is a voice/streaming/community app. Matrix is slow as hell and the way “spaces” are implemented is a joke.

    Honestly outside of the incessant pop-ups and upsells and the whole selling everything to AI companies, it’s pretty great for private communities.

      Your view of Matrix seems a bit weird. AFAIK I can do all the voice/streaming/community in Matrix as well as it’s done in Discord.

      Also, no, my server isn’t slow. matrix.org might be, I don’t know.

        I have a Matrix server. I’ve also used a half a dozen others. Every one of them you have sit there and stare at it for 5-10 secs and watch the messages roll in every time you open the app.

          I can’t speak to your server but I don’t have that issue. It was solved with Sliding Sync quite some time ago.

              I’m guessing your issue is in your installation.

                You missed the part where I said I’ve also tried a half a dozen different servers. And if they all also screwed up then that is just a different type of problem that still exists.

                  Might be that I simply don’t believe you as well. I also know a few people running Matrix servers besides myself (Synapse as well as Conduit) and ever since Sliding Sync and clients that support it (Element X, not Element etc) this issue simply doesn’t exist.

                    Might be that I don’t believe you either.

            Loading times are a skill issue? You could at least try to make sense while you’re being a dick.

              I’ve never had any problems with low speed. Maybe it’s hosting provider?
