As someone who wants to care not at all about the implementation details: last week I tried to sign up and use Matrix. I just want it to die. It's got all the downsides of both centralized and distributed chat systems. Matrix.org didn't have the username I wanted so I went through four different home servers before giving up. Tried to install a cli app (Weechat). Homebrew wanted four or five scripting languages, a spell checker, and still no Matrix plugin (need to install an abandoned C library for that and then wrangle python). The web app is shit. I get hijacking Cmd+K (and despise it), but it also hijacks Cmd+`. Makes me miss IRC really.
