Its because Matrix is just that bad.
- uoaei 3y agoWould you elaborate? What makes it bad?
- sph 3y agoThe most used client, Element, is somehow worse that the Discord electron client, believe it or not. My experience of joining Matrix channels is through sluggish and clunky UI that makes me want to tear my hair out. I would reconsider if there was a half-decent TUI client that doesn't have 250ms latency to send a bloody plaintext message on a top-shelf Linux workstation. Is it that hard to make it run as smooth as mIRC did on my old Pentium II?
- Arathorn 3y agoagreed that Element Web is clunky, although we’re working on it. Perhaps try https://github.com/ulyssa/iamb https://github.com/ulyssa/iamb or weechat-matrix for your TUI? Or if on macOS, Element X is a pleasure to use as a truly native GUI client.
- sph 3y agoCheers, I might give iamb a go.
- bifrost 3y agoBasically everything about it. The clients, the server, the org that manages it.
