Asking because I value opinions here.
Personally I don’t think anyone can influence what the general audience of chat users ultimately coalesces around. That’s going to happen, and it’s going to be out of anyone’s control as people discuss and compare and decide which they prefer of the dozens of alternatives appearing.
This however looks interesting to me. I know it’s not Matrix and thus not secure like everyone here wants. But it is fully open source and it is AGPLv3.
It feels like it’s getting some traction and interest. If it has problems that anyone here can spot (besides the full encryption which isn’t something the rest of the discord users looking to leave are going to demand), I am interested in hearing them.
i hate matrix… its an unintuitive mess. we need more of an IRC type experience rather than that jumbled mess of whatever its trying to do
I don’t understand this take, I have two matrix accounts in different servers and have played with a handful of clients, and the only issues I’ve run into have been either of my own making or due to impatience.
