The difference is that Matrix is curated as a single spec (currently at v1.7: https://matrix.org/blog/2023/05/25/matrix-v-1-7-release/ ), which ensures that competing implementations for new features

> to avoid the fragmentation that happened both with XMPP and with Matrix. what fragmentation are you thinking of with Matrix? to my knowledge, we have zero fragmentation so far. some clients implement more features than others, but we d

Sytest is designed to test any Matrix server. The only reason it’s called Sytest is because that Matrix was briefly originally called Synapse (before we came up with the much better name Matrix, and chose to keep Synapse around for the firs

Hydrogen does not share a single line of Element Web’s codebase.

Element is basically 3 different clients - web, ios and android are different codebases. Paste to composer should work on all of them tho! Meanwhile on mobile there is a new client called Element X which is a single codebase built on matrix

If you’re on macOS on Apple Silicon, try the Element X iOS app. Am hoping that we will end up with a proper native macOS port in the end, which should stop the Electron complaints dead.

Matrix is very much alive and well; we just hit 100M total addressable users on the network :)

fwiw, i would be first to agree (as project lead for Matrix) that we (I) have fucked up the communication about libera irc bridging problems, and I am sorry for it. the root cause is lack of bandwidth: the bridge is both written and run by

on the Matrix side we are slogging away at https://element.io/blog/element-x-experience-the-future-of-e... to provide good (excellent?) UX as well as interoperability via Matrix.

No, I totally agree that DMs should be called DMs in the UI, and Rooms should be called Rooms. Unfortunately, there's just a plain old blindspot here - i'll keep pointing out and we'll get it fixed.

afaik MLS doesn't currently support deniability. This means you can have attack where a member of the group conversation can prove in retrospect that an encrypted message was sent by a given sender. This is a big deal if you want to

Decentralisation-friendly MLS is working well already as a proof-of-concept in Matrix - check out the Implementation section of https://arewemlsyet.com :)

plus unless I’m missing something, telegram doesn’t seem to distinguish DMs from group chats in the room list either?

EX is about 2 weeks old. It doesn’t yet have filters to split DMs from rooms, but it will.
