There is not a lot of software that is so bad that it makes me viscerally angry but Synapse fucking manages it

Yeah okay I guess I'm done with talking on Matrix for today, if the server can't manage to process my messages in less than 10 minutes

@joepie91@social.pixie.town i gave up on anything in which element and matrix foundation was directly involved because i did not see advances but more like an accelerationist approach at the cost of everything

the number of element rewrites and such...

i have been contemplating Grapevine (a Conduit fork) as a possible future, but also turning into Signal and SimpleX...

@echedellelr I'm only using Element-derived things as a stopgap measure until I find a better option, for much the same reason - in fact, on some of the Element rewrites, I warned them of the outcome ahead of time, they dismissed the warning, and guess how it worked out...

I don't think either Signal or SimpleX are really the same kind of thing as Matrix, so I don't think they can serve as a plausible replacement for me. I've just been working (with others) on a protocol fork for a while now, to cut Element out of the picture entirely and establish some reasonable governance process.

But, that takes time to get to a usable result...

@joepie91@social.pixie.town i mean, i need to be able to speak with people meanwhile x3

SimpleX is the only thing that could fit to me depending how they go.

@echedellelr I've solved the problem for myself in the meantime by having a separate account on a less loaded server that only has a few chats open with people I want to stay in contact with at all times. Synapse's performance seems to get exponentially worse the more rooms you're in, so this works okay-ish.
