I don’t think people on this sub use it, but it’s great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

    I am a big fan of Matrix and glad to see it getting some attention in this post. But it is definitely a bit rougher around the edges and esoteric compared to Discord. For more technically-inclined people, it’s fine. But it’s a bit much for some people.

    I’m no fan of Apple (and don’t want to divert discussion here), but part of their winning formula is ease of use.

            Have you used this protocol at all? You CAN receive messages when offline, this is not IRC. And media uploads don’t seem to be such a problem.

                I just don’t get what you’re referring to when it comes to “not receiving messages while offline”. The only thing that comes to mind that does this by design is OTR, but that’s outdated anyway…

                    Weird, never got such issues. OMEMO is what I use in my DMs, and it was designed with offline messages in mind (and it does work for me). I know this sounds like “works on my machine”, but this is the first time I hear about this happening consistently.
