@cos @miah yeah, I think Matrix, while it has its flaws, has the biggest potential to get on par with features enough to attract regular users.

However there is still the metadata leak problem which I think is hard to overcome.

@scatty_hannah @miah well, IRC has even worse metadata leak problem (or it doesn't even try to hide anything, even client IP's are visible for other clients).

More privacy focused alternatives such as pure P2P messengers have their place but they sacrifice lot of features and are very niche.

@cos @miah completely agree. IRC is from a time when people didn't even think about that.

And yes, everything has tradeoffs.
