Another day, another ugly thing to learn about #Matrix.

I'm getting increasingly interested in #XMPP. Would need to find desktop & mobile clients that come with all the modern extensions though.
Matrix got started on very aggressive, negative marketing against XMPP. That‘s how I first learned about them because they were spreading misinformation about XMPP.

Note my criticisms is mostly towards Element the company, not Matrix the protocol or other actors in the game. (It’s on them for blurring the lines between Element and Matrix.)
