          Oh no! Web based protocol! Not stability, ease of debugging, less block rate, and easy SSL protection! The horror!!

              What does this even mean in the context of data you’d transfer in Matrix?

              It means it’s a robust well-tested protocol (referring to HTTP)

              Ease in which context? What’s so much harder to which you are comparing it?

              It’s a robust, well tested, and well known protocol.

              Are you certain that something TCP-based gives that? Latency sucks too.

              Average company firewall: Allow 80 Allow 443 Allow 53 to Deny to any

              PKI is crap. Just saying. Easy and wrong.

              What’s the better solution?

              I just don’t like it. It’s my opinion. Just as you have yours.

              Yeah it has a lot of problems, but all the things you listed are the least of it. Still better than anything else.

                  By firewall I mean outgoing. And XMPP is kind of a non-starter.

                  Peer to peer is also a non starter. You have to have some kind of email-like structure.

                  What’s so good with XMPP?

                    Less resource-heavy than Matrix, doesn’t have the “store everything from your every chat” feature and thus requiring less space, more mature, very easy to set up.
