Yep definitely better! The 370 isn't anywhere as bad as it was for example. I don't think you'll wait for more than 30 mins unless you're deep in suburbia. > The buses were constantly late Yep still happens, though th

I would pay for Substack feeds if I was able to read the paid feed via RSS - unfortunately it doesn't support this feature.

Yep, it's definitely been frustrating in the past. The number of iOS Element bugs was overwhelming at times too. It's a lot more stable now, but the bubble layout still isn't the default - I think that's what most people

It's easy to use the free server at matrix.org. For $5/month you can get a hosted server from EMS with optional bridges to Signal/Telegram/WhatsApp. Or another paid provider: https://matrix.org/hosting&#x
