Well, the "I am leaving #Matrix and this is why" blogposts are starting to appear.
I'm worried that it's reached the trust thermocline, and I'm not sure there's any coming back from this.
@sam It is my opinion that the issues with Matrix are a failure of leadership, not of the competence of those working on the technical implementations. I suspect those doing so intended to fix the issues too.
@sam (That's not to say that there aren't a couple folks who I find to have questionable habits in terms of code quality, but that wouldn't have been such a problem if there were the leadership and organizational capability to handle that appropriately...)
@joepie91 I was so damn early huh
@joepie91 I occasionally regret not taking a job with them a few years back, to work on the mobile apps. Could I have helped sort out those issues? Possibly. Idk.
I deeply want Matrix or a similar usable-by-grannies, distributed, foss, self hostable, secure, etc etc platform to make it. Society needs it now more than ever.
