I tried it and was immediately turned of by the clusterfuck UI. There's too much stuff, feels bloated af.
We use XMPP.

It's pretty neat.
But since installing an app is extremely cumbersome, i doubt a lot of people will switch.
Isn't it also an open source, not for profit project?
I really liked the feature that you can set up your o'n or choose which server stores your data.
Im not a big fan of the riot frontend.

>>59432192

>>59430735

OP you also forgot
• Respects your freedom completely
• Has working IRC-Matrix bridges so you can chat in IRC channels from riot (it also has more bridges than just IRC)
• Has screen sharing
• Has file uploading
• Has inline link previews
• Has notifications

why not use an established encryption protocol
>See who's reading your messages with read receipts
misfeature
>Communicate with users anywhere in the Matrix.org ecosystem - not just Riot users!
botnet
>Discover and invite users by email address
obvious privacy issue
>Participate in guest-accessible public rooms
see above
>Highly scalable - supports hundreds of rooms and thousands of users
so does literally every single other chatting application/protocol
>Fully synchronised message history across multiple devices and browsers
this means that your message history is stored on someone else's server, probably unencrypted
>Finely configurable notification settings, synchronised over all devices
see above
>Infinite searchable chat history
see above
>Permalinks to messages
see above
>Full message search
this was already mentioned
>Excellent support for all Android device sizes and orientations
literally every single messaging application has this
why the fuck would anyone use this shit?

Matrix is XMPP done sanely but ultimately, with the same marketing flaws of XMPP - no kike features people are conditioned to demand now - faceswap, photo filters, arbitrarily expiring photos/messages etc.
It's doomed to be used only by few nerds as a result who dont care about all that bullshit, and will merrily ignore it in favor of IRC with a BNC.
