-I always wonder why the Matrix protocol[1] even exists , it just reminds of systemd[2] in a way or another because it wants to replace XMPP[3] with something more complex (and centralizing) , just like Discord[4] , but "open source". I'll explain why Matrix is the best example of Suck on the IM field.
-
-1. Protocol is garbage : the thing itself is so massively bloated by design , and no one but the Matrix.org owners can change it however they see fit. Thus forcing every server administrator to upgrade , else they get kicked out of the federation.
-
-2. Server implementation is garbage : Synapse is the only "working" server implementation , and by being written in Python has both high RAM comsuption and waste of storage space , without an option to even purge the ever growing message log. 
-There are other server implementations , yes , but they're all incomplete compared to Synapse. Unlike any XMPP server implementation this one requires literally a supercomputer (of sorts) to get running because of the memory/storage requirements.
-
-3. Clients are garbage: Element Desktop isn't even a native program but an "Electron app" which in turn is based on a JS-infested web interface called Element Web , and while there are forks of them , they don't seem to fix the issue. 
-Also given the fact just like the remaining of the "modern web" it just works on Chrome. 
-There are desktop clients that doesn't really suck but again , they're incomplete when compared to Element. On mobile devices it's kind of the same situation , except for the "web apps" thing.
-
-4. Feature creep: Matrix.org keeps adding new features to the protocol and thus Synapse and Element , getting closer to Discord in every turn in terms of bloat. Like it tries to do everything and thus failing at its own purpose.
-
-5. Decentralization is a joke , all users use Element + Matrix.org , despite the existence of other public servers.
-
-In a nutshell , is Matrix even needed , when we already have XMPP and other solutions?
