Updates should be appearing in various app stores. -
LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} (lnxw48a1)'s status on Saturday, 30-May-2020 16:28:52 UTC LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} #Riot (Riot-Android) recently introduced an issue where “favorite” rooms disappeared from the favorites list each time the program starts. There is a new version now, but so far, “install failed” on both of the devices I attempted to update.
This is yet another hurdle that #Matrix has to get over. Besides all the problems people are noting with the server implementation (Synapse), the clients seem to be low quality.
I no longer have any contacts where we can 1:1 over Matrix. They’ve all been driven off by bugs ? ... in particular, the end-to-end encryption gave lots of “unable to decrypt this message”. I’m told that has ended, but there’s no one to test it with.
I currently use Matrix mostly for the bridges to #IRC. -

For example, addressing. Let’s say I set up #Synapse at matrix\.federati\.net. The “#members” room would be at #members:matrix.federati.net, correct? And my account would be @lnxw48a1:matrix.federati.net? I’m not even sure. Do their URLs start with “matrix:”? Or maybe “matrix://“?
And that’s the problem. They intentionally chose something so alien-looking that it confuses people. -

And then you have this message can't be read because they haven't sent keys, which chases people off pretty quickly. #Riot is not ready for recommending. -

Another thing disappointing about #Matrix, or at least the #Riot client. Someone posted video of some guy pushing his schlong through some device attached to a chair back. There’s no mechanism for hiding or blocking that video. The homeserver admin or the room’s admin could remove the post, of course, but why must individual users have to wait for some higher-up to decide whether they see particular content? That power belongs first and foremost to the user. -
F-Droid (fdroidorg)'s status on Thursday, 02-May-2019 19:36:17 UTC F-Droid If you are using #riot-android you should update to version 0.8.28a as this is a critical security update.
If you are a user of the matrix.org homeserver and have received an alert message stating that you should update to a version 0.8.99 from google play you can safely ignore that. This message was only targeted at google play users but accidentally sent to some #F-Droid users as well.

If they released a better replacement for #Synapse tomorrow, Riot would still constrain most #Matrix use to a certain subset of techpeeps. -

It was just the lack of active users that caused me to close the account.
#Riot (or perhaps #Synapse; somewhere in the #Matrix ecosystem) is still too alpha to be recommendable. It is obvious that both of them are inspired by something else that I have not seen or used ( Possibly #Slack? ) which probably does all the same things.
"Use X; it is the same thing but slightly different" doesn't seem to work very well as a way of persuading people. -
stragu (stragu)'s status on Wednesday, 17-Oct-2018 03:16:38 UTC stragu Hey, PSA and reminder: I created a #Riot room that is dedicated to sharing the #Commons (mainly sharing digital cultural works currently) and anyone can join and participate : https://matrix.to/#/!PbNlnxVMSOLgIeSsZE:matrix.org
Let's show everyone that there is plenty of high quality stuff released into the Commons! ? ? -
INACTIVE (deadsuperhero)'s status on Tuesday, 16-Oct-2018 18:33:44 UTC INACTIVE So it sounds like #Riot is getting significantly more performant, at least on the web side of things.
I know some people have bashed #Matrix for its server performance and implementations, but I think with more optimizations and a fresh coat of paint, it could end up being really great.

I formerly tried #Ring (but after an update, I needed to reconnect to all my contacts) and #Tox ( a new ID on each device, so contacts never know how to reach you quickly ). -

Most of the time, #Wire does what I wanted, without the frustration.

I'm told it is better now, but I've seen some of the annoyances less than a week ago. -

For every feature, there are multiple gotchas where it doesn't work the way people expected. (I should point out that I only use Matrix through #Riot [web, Android, iOS], so some of the half-assed DIY feel may just be the client.)
Wire seems to do less, but it feels like it does the things it does better.
