I don’t like slack having to use it for work. And riot/matrix has been slightly disappointing. At one point t I had everything flowing nicely; working fine until now the latest upgrade. The verification within the client is confusing. The e2e cross signing has been an absolute headache. Meaning losing some encrypted messages because using your recovery key it throws an error (when it’s valid). The potential is there but It does need work. My first impressions are that it feels like it’s all stringed together. For example why have a button in the IOS app for resetting bootstrap only to display a message of “this button doesn’t work but will work in future”. The default home server can be terribly slow. I get it, running your own server but still, I don’t want to do that right now. It’s works when it wants to work. And when it does, it’s pleasurable and smooth. https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/13519 https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/13519 expresses my frustration.

I think you hit the matrix.org server being completely overloaded immediately after we enabled cross-signing (https://twitter.com/matrixdotorg/status/1257695491497897988 https://twitter.com/matrixdotorg/status/1257695491497897988) - now fixed. You hit other teething bugs too where it didn't recover sufficiently from the overloaded server. Apologies :( The bug is open and on our radar, as you can see.

  Any idea to when it might be fixed? I still can't verify any devices and using the Use Recovery Passphrase or Key method still responds with nothing. If the whole premise of matrix is encrypted chat, and I can't verify myself, I'm hesitant in using the app. Luckily I am only using it to talk to a single friend so it's not a too big deal at the moment.
