Why not something more modern, like Matrix?

- seba_dos1 9y agoMatrix feels more like a replacement for IRC rather than instant messenger and its ways of communication with legacy networks seem rather awkward (although reluctance of dev community around Matrix to implement transport-like services that store your credentials make a lot of sense; however I simply host my own transport just like I would have to when using Matrix, so I don't care).
