We tried matrix and element a little while back and it had too many sharp corners. Now we use jabber. It also have some problems but we were able to workaround them.
When we did our tests, messages would get dropped, arrive out of order, be impossible to decrypt, joining a room was slow (sometimes days), mobile notifications would be swallowed by the desktop client left running, webhook were hard...
I don't want to speculate too much as it is just a feeling, but it felt that the protocol itself had unfixable flaws.
- thelastparadise 2y agoIs Jabber still around?
- kuon 2y agoYes but it is XMMP now. It has been working well for us.
- kalaksi 2y agoPersonally, I don't think it's anything unfixable. At least slow joins with large rooms got improvements last year or something. E2EE is nowadays on by default, and I haven't had any decryption issues recently, but E2EE is not mandatory. Notifications have had some changes too, but I can't comment much on that or your other issues.
