tbf that’s partly matrix the protocol being inefficient as fuck. element the client can’t really fix that.
whose idea was it to synchronize the entire fucking history of a channel to every individual instance? for a chat app?
(yeah the matrix guys want to be a global federated generic data store and not a chat app i know, but all this has ended up with is a mediocre chat app and a few toy projects nobody cares about)
i guess maybe it’s was the same problem with lemmy, only small instances and communities exists, and small money incentive, so they can’t do much to make it better?
matrix is being used by several (mainly european) government agencies. element (as in the for-profit company spun off from the matrix foundation) has the money, it’s just they’re compromising on the wrong stuff as they’re aiming to be a mediocre “do everything” protocol rather than a good chat protocol
