@calebjasik Thanks. I mean, I have taken a look at it. It’s overly complex and I’m not a fan of extreme complexity. I find it quite unusable. Also, not happy that they have VC (matrix.org/blog/2019/10/10/new) while appearing as “a foundation.” Smells very Mozilla. So I’ll be steering clear.

@aral fair. i always wondered how hard it would be to implement chat over activitypub, though i don’t know what allowance there is in activitypub for e2ee

@aral @calebjasik They seem much more privacy conscious than Mozilla. Can't comment on the protocol complexity, but I use about three clients regularly and they cover most functionality I want. Check out Nheko if you want a nice pmOS-friendly client, it's basically on par with Element.
The ecosystem around the protocol seems pretty healthy to me.
(And unlike Mozilla they can sell server hosting. I doubt they'll need to rely on Google.)

@csepp @aral btw, google funds nheko if you didn’t know matrix.org/blog/2020/09/09/gso

hmm i can’t find more info tho? i remembered google strongly funding the project…

@csepp @aral tho i believe it’s different from firefox in the sense that nheko is just one client
